A Jumbo Bag, also known as a Big Bag, is a type of common plastic sack made from polypropylene (PP), also known as a polypropylene bag. These bags are used for handling and transporting loads ranging from 500 to 2,500 kg. If your products are solid and dry, such as flakes, granules, or lumps, this type of bag is highly suitable.
Transportation
For handling these bags in warehouses and factories, it is recommended to use a forklift.
There are usually 2 or 4 lifting loops at the top of the Jumbo Bag, which allow forklifts to lift and move the packaged products. Every year, more than 500 million tons of products are packaged and transported worldwide in this way.
For transportation outside the factory, Jumbo Bags are generally loaded onto the back of trucks in groups of 5 or 10, then secured with a polyethylene cover and straps for transportation.
This method makes it possible to transport large quantities of products while using the minimum possible space.
These bags are particularly suitable for transporting materials such as wheat, lumps, and similar bulk products. Urban and rural users also have a variety of applications for Jumbo Bags.

How to Empty a Jumbo Bag?

- Jumbo Bag with a discharge spout
