The Rise of the Ton Bag (FIBC)
The FIBC, or ton bag, is known as the “strongman of logistics.” Designed for packaging, storage, and transportation of bulk materials, it has become indispensable across industries such as chemicals, agriculture, construction, food, and mining. Ton bags can carry fertilizers, cement, sand, ores, grains, feed, coffee beans, cocoa powder, and much more.
They are specifically applied in the following industries and scenarios.
-
Chemicals: Fertilizers, polymers, pigments, plastic resins (moisture-proof, dust-proof, corrosion resistant).
-
Agriculture: Grains, beans, seeds, feed (efficient storage and farm transport).
-
Construction: Cement, sand, glass fiber (heavy-duty building materials).
-
Mining: Ores, coal, mineral sand (bulk transport and easy loading).
-
Food: Coffee beans, cocoa powder, grains (hygienic and non-toxic packaging).
-
Pharmaceuticals: Raw materials and herbs (requiring sealing and safety).
The invention of the ton bag brought tremendous efficiency to bulk storage and transport, significantly reducing logistics costs. But one crucial factor often goes unnoticed: the ton bag pallet.
If the ton bag is the container, then the pallet is the strong pair of arms and hands that lift it up. Without the right pallet, the ton bag’s value cannot be fully realized. Unfortunately, most pallets on the market are bulky, non-nestable, and costly to transport, with very few designed specifically for ton bag applications.
Our Solution: FlexNest™ Pallet
To overcome the limitations of traditional pallets, we developed the FlexNest™ Pallet, a lightweight and nestable pallet designed specifically for ton bag (FIBC) handling.
Weighing only 6 kg, it still delivers an impressive 3,000 kg load capacity. Thanks to its compact nestable design, up to 2,000 units fit into a single 40HQ container. As a result, businesses can significantly reduce shipping and storage costs while improving efficiency.
