Flexible fabric container
Some of our big bag products are manufactured in Hungary to ensure fast service and to meet unique requirements. We also keep in stock bags produced in India and Turkey, as well as ONCE-USED big bags.
Big bag stock:
Since producing special, custom-designed big bags takes several weeks, we maintain a substantial stock of popular sizes to ensure flexible and fast service for our customers. The composition of this stock is constantly changing.
Below you can find the specifications of some frequently requested sizes – without claiming to be exhaustive:
90x90x135 cm laminated big bag (e.g. for short-term storage of 1000 kg of fertilizer in a covered area)
90x90x140 cm unlaminated big bag (e.g. 900–1000 kg of higher-density grain)
90x90x160 cm unlaminated big bag (e.g. 900–1000 kg of lower-density grain)
THE ABOVE-MENTIONED BIG BAGS ARE 4-POINT, WEBBING-LOOP BAGS; THE DIMENSIONS GIVEN ARE EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS, SO THEIR USABLE VOLUME IS 2–3 CM LESS.
54x110x135 cm, 2-loop big bag, where the loops are made from the bag’s own material, with PE film liner (suitable for long-term storage of 600–700 kg of fertilizer)
Big bag production:
When selecting a BIG BAG tailored to your specific needs, a number of factors must be taken into account; this information is also required for preparing a quotation:
- size (cm): the BIG BAG is prism-shaped; dimensions must be given as for a square-based prism, e.g. 80 x 80 x 120 cm
- we need to know what material will be filled into it, as this determines a number of further factors, including point 3 below
- fabric quality: the basic material of the BIG BAG is polypropylene fabric – this can be breathable (unlaminated) or waterproof (coated with a polypropylene layer – laminated), and on request it can also include a polyethylene film liner
- suspension: can be single-point, two-point or 4-point suspension (this is the standard)
- loop length: depending on how and with what equipment the BIG BAG is lifted and moved, the loops can be longer or shorter (generally: 25–30 cm)
- filling spout (diameter / length): if there are special size requirements due to the filling equipment or the nature of the material to be filled, this must be indicated; otherwise we calculate with the standard size (30–35 x 50 cm). On request it can also have a skirt (can be opened and closed along the full circumference of the bag) or be completely open.
- discharge spout (diameter / length): if there are special size requirements for the discharge spout due to the nature of the material, this must be indicated; otherwise we calculate with the standard size (30–35 x 50 cm). On request it can also be completely closed.
- load (kg): the mass of the material planned to be filled
- mode of use (single-trip / multi-trip): single-trip: filled once, delivered to the customer, emptied; multi-trip: internal transport, storage, multiple filling and emptying, and external transport with multiple-use cycles
- BIG BAG or Q-BAG: when filled, the BIG BAG – although it stands stably on its base – tends towards a circular shape in top view. In contrast, the Q-BAG (= cubic bag), due to its specially positioned internal baffles, takes on an approximately prismatic (cube) shape, which can improve space utilization by 20–30% in both transport and storage. Safety factor for single-trip use: 1 : 5,
- for multi-trip use: 1 : 6 – this means that a one-ton container must withstand a load of 5 tons or 6 tons during quality testing
- special stitching: dustproof and dustproof-sealing seams can be used for particularly fine powders or materials requiring special handling and protection.
- printing: the side surfaces of the BIG BAG offer an opportunity for advertising: relatively large company logos and product names can be placed on the side panels – flexo printing is possible with up to two colors per side.
- quantity requirement: the size of the order affects lead time, prices, etc. Based on the required quantity, we propose the most economical solutions; for example, it is important to know whether the order is one-off or recurring in order to determine the most suitable type of marking.
- delivery time: depending on the above, 4–5 weeks from order
- any other information may be important that relates to the ordering and use of BIG BAGS, or any previous experience with them
