There are a number of bulk bag specs that are designed to meet
Department of Transport (DOT) requirements for transport, including the:

Thickness of individual threads (denier)
Fabric weight (GSM)
Strength of the yarn and fabric.

From these engineering specs, each bag is specifically designed to pass
a number of stress tests, including drop and jerk forces, that could affect
the integrity of each bag during transport.

When purchasing an FIBC, the most important bulk bag spec is the bag
capacity (or bag size), which can range from 500 to 4,000 pounds when
filled.

Also, the styles and types of FIBC bags should be considered when
choosing an FIBC to meet your product storage and transport
applications:

Type A FIBC: No Electrostatic Protection
Type B FIBC: Surface Breakdown Voltage of <6kV
Type C FIBC: Electrically Conductive or Groundable
Type D FIBC: Static Dissipative

Within these FIBC bag types, you will find different styles to meet your
bagging needs, including rectangular or four-panel bags, duffle top bags,
and circular bulk bags. For each bag style, the manner in which they are
constructed will be similar, other than the type of material, size, and

shape.

If you’re unsure which of these bags you need, get in touch with the
team here at Palmetto Industries so we can discuss your needs further.
