About shipping and transporting FIBC bags
FIBC bags has many advantages, including affordable price, versatility, durability and ease of use. Another significant advantage is that they can be easily moved throughout the facility and loaded into transportation vehicles for transportation. They can also be stacked, packed or even stacked on pallets, which is part of the reason why they are so popular in such a broad range of applications.
When shipping and transporting bulk bags, it is important to understand the best practices for stacking and securing bulk bags, as well as the factors that should be considered during operation. Let's start to study the best practices for transportation and shipment.
FIBC STACKING
Stacking is one of the simplest and most effective methods of preparing for transportation . Several stacking methods are recommended as following:
When using the free stacking method, please be careful to slowly lower each bag and apply pressure to the bottom bag to provide a stable foundation for the top bag to be refilled. When the material contained in the bag can bear the weight of the bag stacked on top of the bag, free packaging is a simple way to use it for FIBC bulk bags stacking.
Pyramid stacking: The method of pyramid stacking sounds a lot like-stacking bags into a pyramid structure consisting of a large layer at the bottom of the stack and a small layer at the top one layer to another layer.
Supported stacks: Another preferred method for shipping and transportation applications is supported stacks. The method involves placing stacks of bags evenly over openings, such as the opening of a truck or trailer. Limit material displacement during transportation. When choosing a method of packing bags for transportation or transportation, please carefully consider all factors and choose the method that provides the best protection for the materials in each bag, while ensuring the maximum safety of all personnel in the process.
FIBC bags palletizing
It is important to note that although stacking bulk big bags for transportation is a reasonable strategy, it is not always a feasible option, especially when a large amount of bulk big bags are placed in a truck. If you cannot stack it, please consider stacking your bags on a pallet for armor transportation or shipment. Palletizing is a common technology because it provides higher security, which makes loading and unloading easier.
Securing the bag to the pallet can be tricky, but we found two methods to be used successfully as following:
Pallet wrapping paper: Using pallet wrappers or stretch wrappers to fix the bag on the pallet is an effective replacement method to prevent displacement during transportation. This method is simple, safe and affordable, and in many cases can even be automated.
Straps or Bands: Another common method of securing bags to pallets is to use metal or plastic straps. This method produces a safe load, but it does involve more labor and may be more expensive than pallet packaging.
However, if you choose to secure the bulk jumbo bags to the pallet, take care to take some time to secure it carefully. Proper stacking of pallets can ensure safer stacking and make it easier to load large numbers of bags into semi trucks for transportation.
