Standard FIBC Bag vs. Baffle FIBC Bag How Are
They Different?

• Polypropylene (PP) is woven into a flexible
  fabric to make FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk
  Containers) bags, also popularly known as jumbo
  bags, big bags, or super sacks.
• These bags, as the name suggests, are widely used
  for bulk storage and transportation, particularly
  of solid and dry, flowable materials.
• FIBCs are available in a range of customizable
  dimensions and storage capacities, depending upon
  the type of product that will be stored in these.
  Structurally, Jumbo Bags can be either Standard
  FIBCs or Baffle FIBCs.

What are Standard FIBCs?

• Standard FIBC bags, though does not necessarily
  have a standard size or dimension, are
  structurally flexible. These bags tend to bulge
  out along the middle when filled. Thus, these
  standard FIBCs somewhat assume the shape of a
  pear after being loaded, making it inconvenient
  to stack up in storage or during transportation.

5
What are Baffle FIBC Bags?

• Baffle FIBC bags have additional panels of fabric
  called Baffles, sewn into each corner. These
  extra fabric panels reinforce the structure of
  the FIBCs and help them retain their shape even
  after these are loaded with products. As a
  result, it is much easier to stack or line up
  baffle bags for storage or transportation.

What are the differences between Standard FIBCs
Baffle Bags?

• It is evident from the structural difference
  alone that Baffle FIBC bags are a step above the
  Standard FIBC Bags. While Standard FIBCs are
  truly flexible and take the shape of whatever
  material these are filled with, Baffle FIBCs are
  more rigid owing to the panel reinforcement along
  the sides. This is the reason why baffle bags are
  a sturdier and more convenient choice than
  standard FIBCs.
• Since Baffle Bags are capable of holding their
  shape even after being filled, they stack up
  neatly in a cubic form. On the contrary, the
  circular shape of Standard FIBCs limits the
  stacking capability.
• Handling Baffled FIBCs is also easier than
  standard bags which tend to bulge out when filled.

What are the differences between Standard FIBCs
Baffle Bags?

• Moreover, neat stacking means baffle FIBCs take
  less space to store. In transportation too, more
  baffle bags can be packed in a single vehicle,
  thus effectively reducing transportation costs.
• The same cannot be said about Standard FIBC Bags.
  Standard FIBCs take up more space, which makes
  storing and transporting materials in them less
  cost-effective than Baffled FIBC Bags.
• The final point of difference between the two
  FIBC types is that they are applicable for
  different types of products. Standard FIBCs are
  more suited when it comes to storage and
  transportation of materials like sand, gravel,
  and crushed rock aggregates used for
  construction.

Conclusion

• Baffle FIBC Bags are better suited for the
  purpose of storing fine powder-like materials
  such as flour, cement and high end chemicals.
