Frequently Asked Questions
What are bulk bags used for?
Bulk bags, also called FIBC bulk bags (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), are durable containers used to store and transport dry goods, powders, grains and industrial materials across manufacturing, agriculture, and construction operations.
These heavy-duty FIBC bulk bags are designed for efficiency and protection, reducing reliance on smaller packaging formats. With reinforced seams and lift loops, they handle large quantities of powders, resins, minerals, seeds and bulk dry goods securely. By consolidating material into a single FIBC, businesses save space, reduce handling and prevent product loss. Millwood bulk bags provide a reliable solution for operations that demand strength, cost efficiency and flexibility while meeting industry standards for safe material handling and storage.
What is the difference between standard bulk bags and custom bulk bags?
Standard bulk bags, including FIBC options, come in common sizes and designs, while custom FIBC bulk bags are tailored to unique load types, product characteristics and operational environments.
Millwood’s standard FIBC bulk bags meet the needs of most industrial applications, providing reliable capacity and durability. For companies with specialized requirements—such as unusual dimensions, powders that need liners or heavy construction materials—custom bulk bags can be manufactured with coatings, fabrics and lifting configurations specific to the product. This customization ensures performance and safety while optimizing space and handling efficiency. Offering both standard and custom FIBC solutions allows businesses to balance strength, cost-effectiveness and operational needs, making them adaptable to a wide range of industries and supply chain challenges.
Why should I choose industrial bulk bags over traditional packaging?
Industrial FIBC bulk bags outperform smaller packaging like sacks, cartons or drums by offering higher capacity, better durability and lower handling costs for large-scale material management.
FIBC bulk bags consolidate thousands of pounds of material into a single container, reducing the number of packages required and minimizing waste. They are reusable, which supports both cost savings and sustainability initiatives. Millwood’s industrial FIBCs are engineered for strength and stability, making them suitable for demanding sectors such as agriculture, chemicals and construction. By switching from traditional packaging to bulk bags, companies streamline storage, improve safety and reduce total packaging costs, all while ensuring materials are transported securely across the supply chain.
How much weight can bulk bags hold?
FIBC bulk bags are designed to hold between 1,000 and 4,000 pounds, depending on their construction, fabric strength and intended application.
Millwood FIBC bulk bags undergo rigorous strength and safety testing, ensuring they perform reliably under heavy loads. Lighter-duty options may be suited for agricultural products or powders, while heavy-duty designs handle resins, minerals or construction aggregates. Reinforced seams, durable woven fabric and strong lift loops help FIBC bags maintain integrity even at maximum capacity. This wide weight range allows Millwood to provide tailored solutions so companies can choose the right FIBC bulk bag for their operational requirements, ensuring both safety and efficiency during storage, handling and transport.
Can bulk bags be moved with forklifts or pallet jacks?
Yes, FIBC bulk bags are built with lift loops and reinforced construction that make them fully compatible with forklifts and pallet jacks, simplifying loading and transport.
Lift loops allow forklift operators to move filled FIBC bulk bags safely and efficiently, reducing the need for pallets or extra handling equipment. In warehouse and industrial settings, this compatibility improves productivity, minimizes manual labor and ensures stable load management. Millwood FIBC bulk bags are engineered to hold up to repeated handling, whether being stacked in storage, loaded into transport vehicles or repositioned on the production floor. Their forklift and pallet jack compatibility makes them a practical, space-saving and cost-efficient solution for businesses moving high-capacity dry goods, powders or industrial materials.
