Difference Between Standard FIBC Bag & Baffle FIBC Bag

Jumbo bags or Bulk bags are known in the industry as FIBCs. They are also commonly known as ‘bulk sacks’ and ‘big bags. FIBC is large shape bag use for storing material as sand, granules, animal fodder in bulk quantity. Flow able material are easily store and transported in bulk quantity. Usually FIBC bags come in square shapes. They are generally able to carry approximately 1000 times their own weight. These bags are UV stabilize and are manufactured by 100% virgin polypropylene materials. Food industries, Builders, Farmers and Animal Fodder Industries can use this bag for bulk storage and safe transportation.
Standard FIBC Bag is generally regular type jumbo bag as dimension of ½ cubic meter, 1/3 cubic meter or 1 cubic meter in size and shape. They usually come with different types of loops such as cross-corner loops, slings and standard loops. When bag is filled with material it becomes in pear shape as material does not stay easily unlike Baffle FIBC bags. Standard FIBC comes in different size and shapes, loops, styles, tops and bottoms, coated/un coated fabric for moisture resistance. FIBC Bag use for storing flow able materials like sands, cement or animal fodder.

What is Standard FIBC Bags?
Standard FIBC Bag is generally regular type FIBC bag as dimension of ½ cubic meter, 1/3 cubic meter or 1 cubic meter in size and shape. Bag comes with different types of loops as cross corner loops or standard four loops on bag.
When bag is filled with material it becomes in pear shape as material does not stay easily. If standard fibc bags are not stack properly it can move or damage inside content. Standard FIBC comes in different size and shapes, loops and coated/un coated fabric for moisture resistance. FIBC Bag use for storing flow able materials like sands, cement or animal fodder.

What is Baffle FIBC Bags?
Baffle Bag is type of bulk bag in FIBC category. Baffle Bags are perfect option if you’re operating under the load of limited space for storage of these FIBC bags.
Baffle bag has baffle on its corner and retain its cubic shape when filled with material. They keep the FIBC bag square shaped and stop them from bulging. baffle bags are stacked properly than standard FIBC bag. Bag doesn’t get punctured from outside due to its strong fabric. They cut down on storage space and also transportation costs get reduced as compared to standard FIBCs bags.

Important differences between the two

Baffle Bag Remain in Shape:

These baffles ensure that the Q bag will remain stable after filling with no more than minimum bulging, which means that the FIBC (big bag/jumbo bag) stays within the pallet dimensions and guarantees an optimum load for any type of transport.

Both are used for Different Materials:

Standard FIBC are regular type jumbo bags which are used for transportation of sands and gravel but get bulged when filled with its capacity. Baffle FIBC bags are generally made use of to store and transport fine materials like pharmaceuticals and flour. These bags do not bulge and stand straight which makes them look neater and more organized when stacked. This also makes them easier to handle than Standard FIBC bags.

Baffle bags get stacked neater:

Standard FIBC bags tend to bulge once they are filled with the materials to be transported. They can be stacked but depending on the contents, it’s not always a neat process. Baffle bags have baffles which are basically panels of fabric on each side of the bag which do not allow it to get out of shape even when full. Hence, Baffle FIBC bags are much more stable and firmer, and get stacked very smartly.

Baffle FIBCs save space:
Since, these bags retain their shape even when full and are perfect for stacking while storing and transporting materials, they are more compact than their counterparts. Hence, they are often preferred over Standard FIBC bags.
