Custom Bulk Bags

Custom Bulk Bags, sometimes called MegaBags™, are a great option when you need a specific Bulk Bag that has been tailored to meet your exact needs and safety requirements. Bulk Bags are commonly used for the transportation and storage of dry flowable goods such as, grains, seeds, salts, powdered products, sands, cement, resins, just to name a few products. The definition of custom, according to The Cambridge Dictionary is: “specially designed for a particular person or purpose”. When we combine Custom and Bulk Bag together, we get a Bulk Bag that is specially designed for your process or product.

 A great example is a Bulk Bag that is used in a lowlight and safety sensitive environment, such as a mine. The Bulk Bag may have reflective webbing sewn around the lifting loops, helping the operator easily see the loops in low light. A safety band may be sewn on the top perimeter, increasing the durability of the Bulk Bag.

Traditional Bulk Bags are made from Type A white woven polypropene fabric and webbing. A Custom Bulk Bag can be made from a combination of traditional materials, including Type B, C, or D woven polypropene fabric as well as vinyl, polyester, and nylon. Another option for customizing Bulk Bags can include different fabric and loop colors, printing, and graphics, which are used to communicate your brand and make your products and business standout.

Another popular area of Bulk Bag customization is the woven polypropylene fabric used to produce the body, duffle top, and other ancillary components. BWI offers a wide variety of woven polypropylene fabrics, with weights ranging from 80 g/m² (2.3 oz/yd²) all the way up 270 g/m² (7.96 oz/yd²). Flat and tubular fabrics are available in widths ranging from 90 cm (35 in) to 210 cm (82 in). Colors can be customized to meet your exact specifications.
