Common Uses In The Food Industry
The food industry regularly uses bulk bags, and for good reason. There are somewhere around 1 billion pounds of wheat processed and shipped inside and outside the United States. When shipping a common staple such as wheat in such large quantities, you need to make sure that your method of shipment is a reliable packaging source.
Not only are bulk bags reliable, but they are flexible, durable, and can carry a large amount of wheat, corn, rice, or other loose food products. Other food items commonly shipped in bulk bags are sugar, potatoes, seeds, nuts, and flour. Our bulk bags are compliant with all food and safety standards, so you can rest assured your goods are safe in bulk bag packaging.
How The Chemical Industry Benefits From Bulk Bags
Bulk bags come in a range of fabrics to suit the goods that they’re carrying. The chemical and food industries obviously differ drastically which is why they would need to have specific standards for any packaging used for medicine or hazardous material. Bulk bags come in types A-D, with types C and D being the best for chemical use.
Made up of non-conductive polypropylene fabric, type C has a grounding point. Type D bags are made of antistatic and static dissipative fabric, preventing sparks and discharges. These bags are also sold with certain public safety standards in mind and should meet all regulatory requirements.
Construction and Bulk Bags
Depending on the bulk bags that you use, they can actually hold 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per bag. These bags make them the perfect option for construction materials being transported from one part of the country to another. Cement, gravel, pebbles, minerals, clay, slag, resin, and more are all materials able to be transported in bulk bags.
Any industry dealing with extra heavy loads or oddly shaped items can benefit from using a bulk bag in their business. Bulk bags are one of the few packaging sources out there that can stand the weight, abrasives, wear and tear of materials like this.
Bulk Bag Liners
Bulk bag liners are not always necessary but do add another layer of protection when shipping your goods. These bulk bag liners can help to keep unwanted moisture out, preserving your food and keeping the product dry. When shipping pharmaceutical products, these liners act as a barrier to UV rays and moisture, helping to preserve the integrity of the medicine.
Liners can also be used over the top of the bulk bag adding extra protection to the contents. If you are shipping fine powders, then liners are a great choice to keep it from seeping through the stitching.
