Polypropylene Bags

Polypropylene Bags

Our primary business focus is the supply of once used/second hand Polypropylene Bags. Manufactured from woven Polypropylene with a variety of different dimensions and various filling, discharging and lifting facilities, the bags are designed to hold large quantities of product, from 50kg up to 2000kg. As woven Polypropylene bags are made from plastic, they are inherently water-resistant and can be used in place of corrugated boxes, paper bags, and fiber drums. They will not sag or get soggy, and will still be sellable even after inclement weather. This is positive news for retailers and manufacturers as packaging that is weather-resistant increases merchandising options, and decreases the risk of damaged product.

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers

The larger bags or Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC’s) also known as bulk bags have been extensively adopted by the agricultural and manufacturing industries, most commonly used to hold animal feed, sand, produce, grain, minerals, chemicals, aluminium, manganese, fertilizers, cement, coffee, sugar, flour, rice, tobacco and plastics. Uses have also been found in the Logistics, Shipping and Warehousing Sectors.The popularity of FIBC’s is that they do not require specialised handling equipment and can be handled using standard forklifts, pallet trucks or cranes.

Advantages of polypropylene bags:

  • Each FIBC can carry up to 1000 times its own weight.
  • Efficient use of space
  • Cost effective with a low unit cost
  • Strong, flexible and simple to use
  • Variety of dimensions available
  • Variety of filling, discharging and lifting facilities
  • Most large FIBC have integral lifting loops, eliminating the need for pallets.
