What Methods/Techniques Are Available For Filling Big Bags?

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags store large volumes of product in a single unit. Their strength and protective qualities means they can store a diverse range of products.

While this makes it versatile, it impacts how FIBC bags are filled — which is according to weight or volume. Knowing which option would best suit your business will shape what machinery you invest in. Not sure how to decide? Here’s what you should know.

FIBC filling machinery fills bags based on a product’s volume or weight. Your product’s characteristics might make the choice obvious — for instance, if you’re selling a solid or liquid. It can also depend on if you’re selling to end users (like consumers) or selling raw materials to manufacturers.

Your country’s packaging laws could inform your choice. Packaged products that weigh less than advertised could result in legal action or fines. However, accurate weighing is important, even if it isn’t legally required. Miscalculations can lead to you giving away your product for free — or cheating customers out of what they’ve paid for.
