A FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk container) is a large woven polypropylene bag used to store and move dry, flowable products like grain, sand, powders and pellets. They're also called bulk bags, super sacks, tote bags or jumbo bags, and typically hold 500–2,000 kg (1,100–4,400 lb).

U-panel bags are made from panels sewn together and are a dependable general-purpose option. Circular (tubular) bags are woven as a seamless tube, which improves sift resistance for fine powders. Baffle (Q) bags have internal fabric panels that keep the bag square when full, so they stack better and fit up to 30% more product in a trailer or warehouse.

SWL (safe working load) is the maximum weight the bag is rated to carry. The safety factor is how far beyond the SWL the bag held in testing: 5:1 for single-trip bags and 6:1 for multi-trip bags. For example, a 1,000 kg bag rated 5:1 is built to withstand 5,000 kg in a test.

These describe static protection. Type A has none and is for non-flammable products. Type B uses low-breakdown fabric to prevent dangerous brush discharges.
