	The modern FIBC transports a growing figure of over ¼ billion tonnes of product each year and is used to handle, store and move products as varied as cereals to powdered chemicals and flour to animal feeds. With a capacity of up to 3m³ and load capability ranging from ½ a tonne to two tonnes FIBCs are highly cost effective, easily recyclable and ideal for virtually any free-flowing granule, powder, pellet or flake. FIBCs are also being developed to hold and filter fluid products.

			A '''FIBC''' or '''Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container''', FIBC , or [[Bulk Bags\|Bulk Bag]] is a standardized [[Containers\|
			container]] in large dimensions for storing and transporting dry, flowable products, for example sand, fertilizers , and granules of plastics.

			Big Bags are most often made of thick woven polyethylene or polypropylene, either coated or uncoated, and normally measure around 110 cm or 45-48 inches in diameter and varies in height from 100 cm up to 200 cm or 35 to 80 inches. Its capacity is normally around 1000 kg or 2000 lbs, but the larger units can store even more. The average bulk bag made to ship one metric ton can weigh between 5-7 lbs.

	A '''Big Bag''', Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container, FIBC , or Bulk Bag is a standardized container in large dimensions for storing and transporting dry, flowable products, for example sand, fertilizers , and granules of plastics.		Transporting and loading is done on either pallets or by lifting it from the loops. Bags are made with either one, two or four lifting loops. The single loop bag is suitable for one man operation as there is no need for a second man to put the loops on the loader hook. Emptying is made easy by a special opening in the bottom such as a discharge spout, of which there are several options, or by simply cutting it open.

	Bulk Bags come in many different sizes, they can be customized into just about any 3 dimension size possible. There are limits to the sizes of course, but usually you'll see standard bulk bags with a standard base dimension of 35" x 35". The heights of a bulk bag can range up to 96 plus inches tall. Again, the size and dimensions of bulk bags are determined by safety, functionality and usability by the customer.

	==History==		==History==
			Although there is disagreement on exactly where FIBC's were first made and used, it is certain that they have been employed for a variety of packaging purposes since the 1940s. These forerunners of the FIBC as we know it today were manufactured from PVC rubber and generally utilised within the rubber industry for the transportation of carbon black to be used as a reinforcing agent in a variety of rubber products. One of the first known importers of the PVC containers into the United States is Robert Williamson, founder and CEO of B.A.G. Corp., in 1969. These first PVC bags were imported from Japan as an efficient way to solve the loading and handling problem faced by crop dusters.

	By the 1960s, with the development of polypropylene combined with advances in weaving, the bulk bags as we know them today came into being and were rapidly adopted by a wide variety of oil and chemical companies to store and transport powdered and granular products.
