BUYER QUESTIONS
Questions buyers ask
What does FIBC mean?
FIBC means flexible intermediate bulk container. Bulk bag and jumbo bag are common names for this packaging category. The actual bag construction, openings and material components are specified separately.
What is the difference between U-panel, tubular and baffle bags?
U-panel and tubular describe body formats. Baffles are an internal construction feature and can be discussed alongside the body format. Compare the complete drawing rather than treating all three terms as mutually exclusive.
Are all potato and firewood bags ventilated?
No. Select products that explicitly describe ventilated or breathable construction if ventilation is required. The application name alone does not establish airflow characteristics or storage performance.
Is a coated FIBC the same as a bag with a PE liner?
No. Coating is a fabric finish; a PE liner is a separate internal component. Confirm which components the proposed bag includes, together with their opening and closure details.
What size information should I provide?
Give dimensions with units and measurement points. If a catalog entry shows numbers without units, keep it as a reference and request clarification rather than assuming centimeters or inches.
Can I choose a load rating from the dimensions?
No. Dimensions or loop color do not establish a load rating. State the target fill requirement and request the rating and relevant evidence for the proposed design.
Can I request custom printing or different openings?
Include the desired print faces, artwork and opening changes in your request. Ask which combination can be supplied for the chosen construction and what is included in the quotation.
Can I start without a complete drawing?
Yes. Send a catalog link or photographs of the existing bag, your material and the changes you need. Include any equipment measurements you already have and mark the undecided items.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no single MOQ stated here for every bag. Request the minimum quantity and price basis for the specific construction, material, printing and destination in your enquiry.
Are samples available, and how long does delivery take?
Ask about samples for the chosen design and destination. Clarify whether they represent an existing product or the requested configuration, plus sample cost, shipping and proposed timing.
How do I request quality or certification documents?
Name the product, intended contents and the documents required by your technical team. Check the identity and scope of the supplied evidence against the proposed bag.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
The next discussion should clarify your configuration, open technical questions and quotation requirements. Send quantity, destination and any sample or document needs so the response can address them together.
