What is jumbobag?

Jumbo bags are large, specialized bags used for the safe and cost-effective handling and storage of dry and fine products in the chemical, mineral and food industries; such as grains, seeds, starch, salt, sugar, coal and cement and bitumen.
Jumbo bags are also known as big bags, bulk bags or FIBC bags.
FIBC stands for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container, which means large, flexible bags.
Jumbo bags are strong, flexible panels made of woven polypropylene (PP), carefully sewn, and colored prints are applied to them and finally converted into large bags.
These bags can pack and carry up to 2 tons. They are easy to pack and transport. Jumbo bags have a special opening and closing system for easy filling and emptying of contents. Also, with lifting rings designed for handling, these bags can be easily transported without the use of pallets. Plex is a manufacturer of various types of jumbo bags in Iran.
Now that we have understood what jumbo bags and jumbo bags are, let’s examine the technical specifications of jumbo bags (FIBC). These bags are carefully designed and manufactured based on the various needs of the industry.

Jumbo Bag Specifications

The technical specifications of Jumbo Bags are detailed below:
• Fabric Weight and Quality
Plex Jumbo Bags are manufactured from high-strength woven polypropylene (PP) and provide very high strength and rigidity. The fabric weight is kept to a minimum to provide flexibility and elasticity and ensure safe transportation of materials.
• Dimensions and Capacity
Plex Jumbo Bags (FIBC) can be ordered in various sizes and meet different volume requirements. The dimensions are carefully designed to maximize the efficiency of the bag’s internal space and manage the volume and weight of the load well.
• Safe Working Load (SWL)
Each bag is manufactured with a maximum weight that can be tolerated. In fact, the maximum weight and load that a jumbo bag can withstand is called the Safe Working Load or SWL (Safe Working Load). This technical information is present in the production of jumbo bags. The purpose of SWL is to ensure that materials are transported and stored safely. This information represents a commitment to safety and reliability in all products that jumbo bag buyers can pay attention to when ordering from Jumbo Bag Plex.

According to the diverse needs of the industry, customized solutions are offered, including dimensions specific to the material handling industry, types of fabrics such as laminated coated fabrics and plain fabrics without laminates, and other features such as loops or handles that meet the unique needs of your industry.
Understanding these specifications will help you better select the jumbo bags (FIBC) suitable for your industry needs and achieve sufficient safety in transporting and storing your materials. Contact us for more advice and guidance in ordering and purchasing your jumbo bags.
After a thorough understanding of jumbo bags and their identity specifications, we will discuss the types of jumbo bags, Plex produces jumbo bags with a wide variety and its own jumbo bag standards.
Standard jumbo bag:
A standard jumbo bag, as a large and flexible bag with a cubic or rectangular shape, is made of polypropylene material. This type of jumbo bag is suitable for transporting dry and fine materials such as grains, seeds, salt and similar items and is manufactured according to your needs. It has four handles for filling and a hatch for emptying and is capable of bearing a weight of 500 to 1000 kilograms.

Waterproof jumbo bag:

This type of jumbo bag, also known as laminated jumbo bag, is made of polyethylene or polypropylene with a waterproof coating and is used for transporting wet or moisture-sensitive materials such as cement, gypsum, fertilizer, and others. It prevents water, steam, dust, and insects from penetrating the materials and usually has two handles, an opening for filling, and a hatch for emptying. This jumbo bag can also usually withstand up to 1,500 kilograms of material.
Antistatic jumbo bag:
Antistatic jumbo bag, also known as antistatic jumbo bag. This type of jumbo bag is also made of polypropylene with antistatic fibers and is used to transport flammable or explosive materials such as powder, plastic granules, and other sensitive materials. This product can withstand up to 2,000 kilograms of material by preventing sparks from being generated by friction.
Baffle Bag or Q Bag:
These types of FIBC jumbo bags are designed with polypropylene baffles at the four corners to increase their filling capacity by up to 30% compared to standard bags. Some of the benefits of these jumbo bags include better stacking, shape retention, space optimization, and spill protection.
You may be wondering what a baffle is?! Baffle refers to the weaving or sewing of special fabrics at the corners of a product, such as bags or pouches, to increase its strength and rigidity. In the case of FIBC jumbo bags, polypropylene baffles are used at the four corners to reinforce the structure and increase capacity.

Ventilated jumbo bags:

Ventilated jumbo bags have strong features in terms of strength, breathability, and resistance to moisture and mold. These bags are designed to store and transport grains, seeds and perishable foods such as onions and potatoes. In fact, bags that have coarse textures in their fabric so that air can easily flow inside the bags are called vented jumbo bags.
