FIBC Bulk Bags – Ton / Jumbo Bags

Bulk bags (also known as FIBC bags, ton bags, or jumbo bags) are large flexible intermediate bulk containers designed to transport and store up to 1000kg of dry bulk material in a single lift. Indusalloy supplies heavy-duty FIBC bulk bags across South Africa at competitive pricing for construction, mining, agriculture, and industrial use.

What Are FIBC Bulk Bags?

FIBC stands for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container. These large bulk bags are made from woven polypropylene and are designed to be lifted by crane or forklift using reinforced loops at the top. They are the industry standard for transporting large volumes of loose dry materials — one tonne at a time. To understand more about FIBC container standards, visit the FIBC Wikipedia page.

They are also commonly called: ton bags, jumbo bags, big bags, super sacks, or one-tonne bags.
