FIBC- A cost-effective packaging method
In the modern day, packaging has become all pervasive aspect of production. Packaging enhances and
protects the products or goods we deal with. Packaging is the last stage of production; it is linked to
manufacturing, processing, handling, storage and even the final delivery of the product. Packaging
increases efficiency, at the same time cuts down cost drastically. Effective packaging is a necessity for
every kind of product. A well-organized packaging pattern often acts as the fulcrum to the customer -
manufacturer relation. All the efforts put together to make product such as, research and development,
skill, and quality standards will fall apart, if the product is not packaged in the right way.

way to package and transport products in a semi bulk form. FIBC are also known as bulk bags or big
bags, they are woven using polypropylene and can hold large quantities of products between 500kg and
2000kg. The weight of bag used to carry 1 metric ton of a product, weighs 2-5kg. Hence, FIBC packaging
