5 Ways That FIBC Big Bags Can Reduce Your Shipping Costs
FIBC bags are a revolutionary bulk packaging option that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Flexible medium-sized bulk containers can store and transport all different types of materials, including hazardous and non-hazardous dry flowable materials.
Bulk bags can always make the transportation and storage of products and materials easier and more efficient, and can also reduce transportation costs. Let us examine five ways that bulk bags can help you reduce shipping costs.
#1- Shipping costs
Unlike other bulk packaging options, FIBC bags do not require pallets and therefore do not require expensive secondary packaging. In most cases, auxiliary packaging may add considerable weight and take up more space, thus increasing the cost of product transportation.
In addition to secondary, protective packaging can be very expensive, saving space (on shipping containers, trucks, etc.) and money without using it.
#2- Very low self-weight
The net weight is the weight of the container bag you use to transport the product or material. The heavier the container, the more weight you have to pay. The flexible medium-sized bulk container is very light and can minimize the weight of your business to transport. The less empty weight you ship, the more products/materials you ship, the less money you spend. It's that simple!
#3- The ability to carry a large number of items
Lightweight and extremely durable flexible bulk containers can transport many products. The safe working volume of FIBC bags ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 pounds and can store and transport large amounts of materials.
#4- Storage costs
Warehouse space is very expensive, and effective use of each stacked space is the goal of every enterprise. Easy to store because they can be stacked on top of each other to help your business make the most of your warehouse space.
#5- Reusability
Some woven polypropylene bulk bags are specially manufactured for multiple purposes. They are called 6:1 SFR (safety factor ratio) bags. The 6:1 SFR bag can be used multiple times and can reduce the overall cost. It is important to note that even though these bags can be used multiple times, in order to use them safely and correctly, there are some specific regulations that need to be followed.
