Types of Plastic Products Commonly Transported in Bulk Bags

Plastic products are integral to various industries and transporting them efficiently is key to maintaining smooth operations. FlexSack bulk bags are versatile and capable of transporting a wide variety of plastic products, including:

  • Plastic Pellets: Widely used in plastic manufacturing, these small, solid particles are often transported in bulk bags due to their ease of handling and storage.
  • Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) Resins: These raw materials are used in the production of everything from films to containers. Bulk bags are ideal for safely storing and transporting these versatile resins.
  • Packaging Plastics: Includes films, wraps, and plastic sheets used in packaging industries. These materials require protective packaging during transport, making bulk bags the ideal solution.
  • Plastic Scrap: After manufacturing, scrap plastic is collected and transported for recycling or remanufacturing. Bulk bags ensure safe, efficient transport of these materials.
  • Plastic Compounds: A blend of resins, fillers, and additives that are used in producing specific plastic products. Bulk bags ensure these mixtures are transported without contamination.

Why Choose Bulk Bags to Transport Plastic Products?

Using bulk bags to transport plastic products offers several advantages that enhance both efficiency and cost-effectiveness:

  • Durability: Designed to withstand heavy use, FlexSack’s bulk bags are ideal for rugged environments and can handle the weight of heavy plastic materials.
  • Ease of Handling: With features such as duffle tops and baffles, our bulk bags provide easy filling, stacking, and unloading which reduces labor and operational costs because each bag can be customized to your specific machines and fabric needs.
  • Cost-Effective: Our bulk bags offer an affordable option for transporting large volumes of plastic materials. The lightweight design reduces shipping and handling costs, while the compact size – when empty – allows for efficient storage, maximizing space during transport.
  • Space-Efficient: Designed for easy stacking and filling, FlexSack’s bulk bags save valuable warehouse and transportation space, reducing logistical costs and improving overall supply chain efficiency. A single FIBC can hold up to 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg) of material while weighing only 5-7 lbs (2.3-3.2 kg) itself. This high capacity-to-weight ratio greatly reduces transportation costs.

Benefits of Bulk Bags

Commonly Used/Seen Bags in This Industry

Plastic products come in various forms and FlexSack offers the right bulk bags designs to handle them effectively. Baffle bags are ideal for pelletized products, providing stability, and preventing the bag from collapsing. This makes them easier to stack, fill, and transport. Duffle top bags are perfect for loose materials, like plastic scrap, with open-top designs allowing for easy loading and unloading. Clear bags are commonly used for resins and compounds, offering visibility for inventory management and quality control.
For sensitive products that require protection from electrostatic discharge, conductive bag liners are designed to keep your plastic materials safe during transport, making them especially useful in industries such as electronics manufacturing.

Testimonial

“[My Rep] has been really good with us. He knows our approximate usages without having to ask me for forecasts, and most of the time he already has some product in the stages of being manufactured, just to help cut down on some of the lead time for us. Sometimes I thought he knew our business better than I did.”
