FIBC (Bulk Bag) Liners
Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC Liners), also known as bulk bags, are flexible packaging. They are perfect to store and transport granules, pharmaceuticals, food and other dry bulk items. Using these containers is ideal for many businesses because they are lightweight, flexible and easy to use during transport. Bulk packaging bags are made from thick woven material such as polypropylene. However, bulk bags alone do not offer your product full protection from moisture, Oxygen or even UV light.
When transporting sensitive dry bulk products, the use of a liner made from high barrier foil is essential. These liners will help protect your products where your bulk bags cannot. High barrier foil is made from 3-4 layers of different materials. These materials are bonded together with adhesives or extruded polyethylene. Because of the inner layer of Aluminum, this packaging offers a high level of protection, allowing for the lowest transmission rate of any known flexible material.
Food Industry
Dry food products such as nuts, yeast and seeds are ideal for FIBC bulk bag liners made from high-barrier foil. Foods like these are highly susceptible to oxygen. They will begin to oxidize and go rancid quickly if they are not properly protected during transport or storage.
Bulk bags liners from food-grade laminates and with top and/or bottom spouts are perfect for food products. They not only allow for easy fill and discharge, but they also protect your products from spoilage due to oxidation. Our foil liners are also perfect for gas flushing with Nitrogen or Argon. This replacing the oxygen inside the liner, therefore leaving your products fresh for the end-user!

Pharmaceutical Industry
Powders and granules within the pharmaceutical industry often benefit from transport in FIBCs. However, the powders can easily escape the bags due to the seams and stitching, leaving your product behind!
Some chemicals have volatile natures when introduced to moisture, oxygen or temperatures. This means that the use of these liners is a perfect solution for protecting your products. However, foil liners for FIBCs will not only help keep your products in their container. Due to the layer of Aluminum, they will also help protect products from UV light, moisture and oxygen.
Plastics Industry
Plastics have become a massive part of our daily lives. With this ever-growing industry, a lot can go wrong before the end-user is even in the picture. Therefore, bulk bag liners are ideal for hygroscopic polymers that adsorb moisture from the air. However, these polymers attract and retain moisture from the air causing molecular and structural damage if not properly processed. Barrier foil FIBC liners will protect your product from moisture in the air. As well as benefit from the spouted formats available for easy filling or discharge.
