Things You Should Know Before Ordering Custom Bulk Bags.

 

The best feature of FIBC bulk bags is that they are customisable. Often companies prefer to buy in-stock bulk bags from manufacturers to meet limited volume or short-term packaging requirements. However, it makes more sense to have them tailor-made by your bulk bag suppliers to fit your products perfectly. 

Let us take a brief look at all the things you should know before ordering custom bulk bags.

When do you need to customise your bulk bags?

The customisation aspects of bulk bags depend on the products. For agricultural grains, you would ideally need bulk bags with additional baffles to help the bags retain their shape after filling. To handle dry, flammable products safely, you will need anti-static bulk bags. So, the product that you intend to handle in the bulk bags decides whether you need them to be customised or not. 

In what ways can you customise the bulk bags?

You can have your FIBCs customised in more ways than one. For food-grade materials, you would need FIBC bulk bags that are produced in a clean room environment. For advanced handling requirements, you can get additional loops or double loading belts, etc., custom-added to your FIBCs. To accommodate specialised filling equipment in your assembly line to load your product into the bulk bags, you can ask your FIBC supplier to incorporate a specific-sized spout top. Similarly, certain products may need a particular discharge mechanism for secure unloading. Again, if you are packaging products like salt or sugar, bulk bags with additional lining to prevent moisture incursion will protect the contents of the bags from getting spoiled.

Do customised bulk bags look good?

Besides the structural convenience of bulk bags, you can also customise these for their aesthetic value, and also to increase your scope of branding. For multiple products, getting tailor-made bulk bags in different colours make sense so that each product can be identified by the colour of their packaging. In certain industries, coloured bags are used to handle hazardous materials.

Have you considered the volume of branding opportunities available to you through the bulk bags? You can get customised labels printed with your brand’s details for your FIBCs so that your products never reach the wrong address and your brand’s visibility increases.

Final Thoughts

Customisation of bulk bags can make product handling easier for you, but please bear in mind that it could also bring to the table additional cost, not to mention the increase in the lead time of the delivery of these bags, which may, in turn, prolong your production timeline.
