Physical Characteristics of Jumbo Bags
Since FIBC containers are flexible, these are lightweight and also offer other benefits such as being recyclable and environment friendly. These products have the capability of being transported with the assistance of pallets fitted below them which makes them easier to lift and handle.
In terms of dimensions, a ton bag has dimensions of 90x90x90cm and a volume capacity of 0.75m³. It is suitable to carry up to 1,000 kg of load.
Despite their flexible nature, FIBC bags provide immaculate safety to the materials packaged. Bulk bags can hold anywhere between 500 – 2,000 kg of material which is quite impressive. These containers can be stored in a small space by folding and pressing multiple FIBCs together.
