FIBC Types: A Comprehensive Guide
FIBC bags, also known as bulk bags or jumbo bags, are classified into four categories based on their static protection needs:
Type A
Plain bags with no static protection. Suitable for general-purpose applications where static discharge is not a major concern.
Type B
Bags designed with low breakdown voltage to prevent propagating brush discharges. Recommended for applications involving potentially combustible materials.
Type C
Groundable bags with interconnecting panels for effective static charge dissipation. Ideal for explosive environments.
Type D
Non-groundable bags that dissipate static charges through the atmosphere. Suitable for applications where grounding is impractical.

Bag Designs
FIBCs can be categorized based on their bag design, which affects their handling, loading, and unloading capabilities. Here are some common types of FIBCs based on their bag design:
Circular Bag: Circular FIBCs are made from a continuous tube of fabric, creating a seamless design with no side seams. This can reduce the risk of seams splitting and increase the strength of the bag. It also provides a uniform shape, making it easier to handle and stack.
U-Panel Bag: A U-panel FIBC features a single, continuous panel that forms the bag’s base and sides in a U-shape, providing added strength and durability. This design often includes a reinforced bottom.
4-Panel Bag: This is a standard design where the bag has four panels (sides), providing a balanced shape. It’s commonly used for a variety of materials and is easy to handle and store.
6-Panel Bag: This design features six panels, offering a more stable and rigid structure compared to the 4-panel design. It’s often used for materials that require additional strength and stability.
Baffle Bag: Baffle bags have internal baffles or support panels that help maintain the shape of the bag, preventing bulging and providing a more stable structure. This design is useful for maximizing storage space and improving handling efficiency.
Cross-Corner Bag: Cross-corner bags have lifting loops attached at the corners of the bag’s base, which allows for balanced lifting and improved stability during handling. This design is useful for applications requiring precise lifting and transportation.
Top Designs
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), also known as bulk bags, come in various designs tailored to specific needs. Here are some common types based on their top design:
Open Top: These FIBCs have an open top, which allows for easy filling. They are often used when the filling process does not require a closure or when a cover is not necessary.
Spout Top: This design features a narrow, tube-like opening at the top that can be closed with a tie or flap. It allows for precise filling and can be equipped with a spout that facilitates easier pouring or discharge of contents.
Duffle Top: A duffle top has a large, fold-over flap or cover that can be secured with ties or straps. It provides a secure closure during transport and can be opened wide for easy filling.
Skirt Top: A skirt top features a wide, overhanging flap or skirt that can be folded down and secured. It provides extra protection against contamination and spillage.
Cone Top: This design has a conical or tapered shape at the top that helps in better control of the filling process, especially for powders or granular materials.
Bottom Designs
The bottom design of a Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) can significantly impact its stability, handling, and discharge efficiency. Here are some common types of FIBC bottom designs:
Block Bottom: A block bottom design has a reinforced, flat base that provides a sturdy foundation, enhancing stability and making the bag easier to stack. It is particularly useful for heavy materials and for applications where stability is crucial.
Discharge Spout (or Spout Bottom): This design includes a spout at the bottom of the bag for controlled and efficient discharge of the contents. The spout can be equipped with a closure mechanism, like a tie or flap, to prevent spillage and facilitate precise unloading.
Gusseted Bottom: A gusseted bottom features pleated sides that expand to accommodate more material and provide additional volume. This design allows the bag to expand as it is filled and helps in maintaining a more compact shape when handling.
Valve Bottom: This type features a valve mechanism at the bottom for controlled discharge. The valve can be opened or closed as needed to manage the flow of material, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control.
