Jumbo Bag Types and Benefits for Shipping Goods

Jumbo Bag

A Jumbo Bag is a large bag that can hold a load of 1 ton (1000 kg) to 2 tons (2000 kg). It is usually used to carry goods for plantation, mining and industrial companies. Jumbo bags are also widely used for shipping goods, both domestically and abroad, packed into containers.

On the market, the jumbo bag is widely known by this easy-to-remember name: “jumbo” means big and “bag” means bag, so taken together it simply means a big bag or large sack. Jumbo bags are also known by the term FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container).

Jumbo Bag Types

Jumbo bags come in many types and shapes, including: standard jumbo bags, duffel bulk bags, circular bulk bags, one-loop FIBC open-head bulk bags, jumbo bags with filling spouts, cubic bulk bags, open-top bags, baffled bulk bags and more.

The most common form of packaging is the sack. Many people know that a sack is a large bag made from PP (polypropylene) yarn, widely used to hold wheat, rice, flour, corn, chicken or other animal feed, and other agricultural products. Sacks have been around for a long time, since before Indonesia’s independence.

Jumbo Bag Functions

Storing agricultural products naturally requires a storage medium so they are kept well and protected from pests. To store and hold large quantities, a Jumbo Bag can be the right storage medium, holding up to several hundred kilograms.

Fumigation can also be carried out using large bags such as jumbo bags, because the material is strong enough for storing or holding agricultural products and more.

Jumbo Bag Advantages

The advantages of these bags are their low price and the fact that they can be reused. Jumbo bags have a spout at the top or bottom; some have only a top spout with a closed bottom. Another feature of jumbo bags is the sling loops on all four sides, which serve as handles for lifting.
