What Are FIBC Jumbo Bags?
FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) also called jumbo bags, bulk bags, or 1-tonne bags are large woven polypropylene sacks for storing and transporting dry, flowable bulk materials. One FIBC replaces 20-40 standard 50 kg sacks, cutting handling time and labour cost significantly.
Known in East Africa as: jumbo bags, bulk bags, 1-tonne bags, big bags, container bags, super sacks
