FIBC Technical Options and Specifications

FIBC technical construction and specification overview

FIBC Technical Options and Specifications

A reliable FIBC specification connects the packed product with the complete filling, lifting, transport, storage and discharge process. The following technical guides explain the main construction choices that should be confirmed before quotation and production.

Lifting Options

Loop style, access, equipment compatibility and safe handling inputs.

Filling Options

Open top, skirt, filling spout and shaped top constructions.

Discharging Options

Flat, spout, protected, full-open and conical bottom arrangements.

Dustproof and Sewing

Coating, seam, filler cord and liner choices for fine products.

Printing Options

Brand, product, handling and regulatory artwork planning.

Document Pockets

Pocket size, position, opening, closure and compliance distinctions.

Start With the Packed Product

Provide product bulk density, particle size, flow behaviour, moisture sensitivity, filling temperature, target net weight and any dust, hygiene, dangerous-goods or electrostatic concerns. The process information should include filling and discharge equipment, lifting method, pallet and container constraints, storage conditions and required documentation.

Specification Before Production

Dimensions, fabric, coating, seams, loops, top, bottom, liner, printing, labels and document pockets are recorded in an approval drawing or technical specification. Any safety factor, test requirement or regulatory marking applies to the complete documented construction rather than to a general product name.

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.
