Custom FIBC Printing Options

Printing can identify the customer, packed product, batch information and handling instructions. Artwork is agreed before production so that position, orientation, colour, panel selection and the relationship with seams, loops, labels and document pockets are clear.

Information Commonly Printed on FIBCs

• Company name, brand and approved logo
• Product name or internal material code
• Handling, storage and disposal instructions
• Traceability or batch fields
• Required safety, recycling or transport markings

Artwork and Production Approval

Supply vector artwork where possible and identify the intended print colour, number of sides, maximum print area and required orientation. The final layout should be approved against a production drawing or artwork proof. Fine lines, small reversed text and large solid areas may need adjustment for woven polypropylene and the selected printing process.

Regulatory and Application Considerations

Mandatory markings must follow the applicable regulation and tested bag design; decorative artwork cannot replace the required FIBC label or UN marking. Ink and process requirements should also be reviewed for food, pharmaceutical, recycling, electrostatic-sensitive or other controlled applications.

Reference Framework

For non-dangerous goods, ISO 21898:2024 covers FIBC materials, construction, design, type testing, marking, selection and safe use. Electrostatic classification for FIBCs used in hazardous explosive atmospheres is addressed separately by IEC 61340-4-4:2018. Dangerous-goods applications require the applicable transport rules and an approved UN design type. The final approved specification and handling label govern the supplied FIBC.
