What are Bulk Bags?
FIBC Bulk Bags, or Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers, are made of woven polypropylene with lifting straps that allow the container to be filled from top and discharged from the bottom.
FIBC Bags are suitable for the transport of:
- Chemicals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Fertilizers
- Food Products
- Grains and Seeds
- Construction Materials such as sand or gravel
- Plastics
Material Motion offers:
- ISO-281898 Standard for Non-Hazardous Duty FIBCs
- Hazardous Duty FIBCs: UN Model Regulations & DOT 49 CFR
- Food Grade FIBCs: BRC, HAACP, GMP, Certified Clean Room
- IEC 61340 Standard for Electrostatic Hazardous Duty FIBCs
Our FIBC bags can be manufactured to meet your specific requirements. The height, diameter, and length of the container and spouts, coated or uncoated fabric, and whether a polyethylene liner is necessary will be specified according to the type of product that will be shipped.
We also produce bulk bag liners for ensuring protection of your product. Our bag liners are available in a variety of types and styles.
What Bag Type is Best for Your Application?
4 Panel Bags
A 4-Panel bulk bag is constructed from 4 separate fabric panels which are stitched together at the edges to form a box. A separate sheet of fabric is used to make the square bottom of the bag.
U Panel Bags
U-panel bulk bags consist of a large “U” piece of fabric with 2 side panels sewn to each of the opposite sides. The U-panel bags will maintain a square shape when filled, especially a U-panel bag with baffles. U-panel bags offer high safe working loads and solid durability.
Circular, Seamless, or Tube Bags
These seamless bulk bags are a good alternative to 4 panel bags. They are made from fabric woven on a circular loom and cut to a specified bag height. This eliminates the need for vertical seems. The tubular body design is ideal as a linerless option for fine and hygroscopic materials. They are circular in name only and will take a regular “square” shape when filled with product.
Baffled Bags
Baffled bulk bags are typically 4-Panel or U-Panel bags that employ internal fabric baffles to improve the bag’s squareness and stability. These bags are designed to maximize storage and shipping space.
FIBC Bag Options
UN Certified FIBC Bags
UN certified bulk bags are specifically designed to transport and store hazardous materials. When hazardous products are shipped in FIBCs, the UN mark for the product is printed on the container body.
Food Grade Bulk Bags
FIBC bags that are made for contact with food and food related products and manufactured in BRC and AIB certified facilities. BRC and AIB certified bulk bags are manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene resin, which meets FDA food grade requirements. Our food grade bags can also be supplied with LDPE/LLDPE inner liners approved by the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Electrostatic properties
- Type A Bulk Bags: no special electrostatic safety features
- Type B Bulk Bags: Type B bags are not capable of generating propagating brush discharges. The wall of this FIBC exhibits a breakdown voltage of 4 kilovolts or less.
- Type C Bulk Bags: Conductive FIBC. Constructed from electrically conductive fabric, designed to control electrostatic charges by grounding. A standard fabric used contains conductive threads or tape.
- Type D Bulk Bags: Anti-static FIBCs, essentially refers to those bags which have anti-static or static dissipative properties without the requirement of grounding.

Bag Lifting and Discharging Options
Bulk bags can be loaded by forklift on pallets or via lifting loops. Material Motion offers a wide variety of bulk bag lifting loops for any application. For emptying, Material Motion offers many bag discharge valve options or the bags can be simply cut open.
Funnel Bottom Bags
Funnel bottom bulk bags have many different types of design, but all have the same principal; to allow non- free flowing product to exit the bulk bag during discharge. Bottom has funnel discharge spout to release contents.
Squeeze Bags
Squeeze Bags are designed for transporting up to 3,000 lbs. of liquid and viscous materials.
Using Bulk Bags for Flood Barriers
