What Are FIBC Bulk Bags?

Bulk bags are designed to withstand the potential impacts sustained during storage and transportation. Constructed in various ways, there is a type that enables you to safely and efficiently move your loads to where they need to go. These loads may involve a range of materials, such as fine powders, seeds, grains, mulch, animal feed, and fertilisers.

Our bulk bags can be used with a variety of conventional transportation methods. These may include modes such as forklifts, cranes, rail and road options, and shipping containers. They can even be safely double stacked to optimise space.

Types of Bulk Bags

Polesy offer a variety of options to meet your specific needs. Alongside reusable, multiple-use bags, we do offer bags designed for single-use if required. We also stock food-grade and ventilated bags with vents that provide airflow for contents such as vegetables.

Some bags offer insulation, anti-flammable, and anti-static features, as well as options that are UN certified for hazardous materials. Bags can also include handles when required.

Bulk Bag Uses in the Agriculture Industry

The agriculture industry is known for its diverse nature. Subsequently, farmers deal with a wide array of harvested yields, products, and materials. This means that bulk bags must also be diverse, and at Polesy, we ensure our bags deliver reliable options for agricultural needs.

We provide the right bags for your needs for any part of the journey of your products. This can include the following stages:

• Collection
• Storage
• Organisation
• Shipping and transportation
• Purchases and sales

5 Benefits of Using Bulk Bags

1. Cost-Efficiency

Choosing bulk bags for your storage and transportation needs means avoiding the costs of containers and single-use options. Our bags provide reusable and recyclable options so that you don’t have to purchase more after each use, keeping costs lower. They also keep their contents safe, reducing the costly risks that are posed to agricultural goods and products.

2. Durability

Made from a range of materials, depending on requirements, Polesy bulk bags are made to last. We offer options such as 30% recycled and flat woven polypropylene, as well as nylon. The bags are constructed in several ways and may be coated or uncoated. Options also include corner baffles, double fabric, U-Panel, and 4+1 Panel.

3. Improved Efficiency

With varying standard and customisable designs, bulk bags can make collection and storage of harvests, products and yields simple and time effective. They are compatible with a wide range of farming equipment and various materials.

The same bulk bag can hold its materials from the collection stage, through their storage and transportation, and onto sales. This keeps the process simple and streamlined.

4. Waste Reduction

Minimising waste is paramount in the agriculture industry. Not only does this lower costs, but it also contributes to an environmentally friendly impact. We offer bags that are partly made from recycled materials, recyclable, and reusable.

5. Protection

Bulk bags keep their contents safe from environmental factors. These may include potential threats such as moisture, water, and transportation damage, insects and animals, and contamination.
