How to Properly Store and Transport an FIBC
Proper storage and transport protects both your product and your people — most FIBC storage incidents happen not during handling, but when someone approaches a bag that's already under load from bags stacked above it. This video covers the key precautions:
Never approach or repair a damaged bag without first removing all bags stacked on top of it. A damaged bag under load from stacked bags above can shift or fail unpredictably — clear the stack before doing any inspection or repair work.
Store FIBCs on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the full stacked weight.
Stack only to the height recommended for your bag type and fill weight — over-stacking is one of the most common causes of bag failure in storage.
Keep bags away from sharp edges, forklift tines, and pallet corners that could puncture the fabric during transport or storage.
For outdoor or long-term storage, check whether your bag's fabric is UV-stabilized — unprotected woven polypropylene degrades with extended sun exposure.
