1. Bulk Density

The Material Bulk Density and total weight of material you want to pack in a bag helps decide the bag size and volume. Packing 500 kg of Cotton will require a bigger bag as compared to 500 kg of sand.

3. Maintain Correct Handling Procedure

While filling, discharging or storing a bulk bag you need to make sure you handle them the way they are supposed to be handled. E.g. ift the bag uniformly using all the loops; if it’s a two-loop FIBC bag, you must lift it with both the loops, to ensure safety.

4. Choose Bags Suited for the Specific Purpose

There are 4 main types of bulk bags, and your choice depends on the kind of product and materials you wish to carry in these bags. If you want to store and carry material like gravel and sand, standard bulk bags are the right choice. On the other hand, if you want to store and carry food items like potatoes, Ventilated bags are a good idea.
