FIBC bag

Q. How will I distinguish the baffle bag from any other FIBC bag?

Ans. If it bulges out from the sides and looks deformed after stacking things inside a bag, you can immediately conclude it is an ordinary FIBC bag. The distinctive feature of baffle bags is that they will never bulge from any side even if they are over stacked. These bags are actually known for this unique construction while ascertaining that they will never look deformed.

Q. I have heard that a baffle bag is similar to a Q bag. Is it true?

Ans. Yes, it is right. Baffle bags are known by various names in the packaging and shipping industry. While Q bag is one such name of baffle bag, other popular names are Form Stable Bags, Bulk Bags, Baffle Bulk Bags, Jumbo Bags, etc.

To be more specific, these are the names of baffle bags that are assigned on the basis of their functional features.

Q. What is that special feature that makes baffle bags ideal for transporting goods?

Ans. As already mentioned, the baffle bag never deforms when goods are stacked inside it. What makes this category of FIBC bags unique is that they remain cubical in shape even after they are stacked. This makes it easier to stack them one over the other in the transportation vehicle. Even in such a situation of high pressure from top and bottom, the shape of the baffle bag remains constant as a cube.

But if you compare this feature of baffle bag with other types of FIBC bags then you will find that they deform when they are stacked. Staking them one over the over becomes incredibly challenging. Hence, baffle bags remain the first choice when packaging is followed by transportation of goods.

Q. Is it true that I can store more goods inside a baffle bag in comparison to an ordinary FIBC bag?

Ans. Yes, it is true. The baffle bags have approximately 30% more storage capacity as compared to the regular FIBC bags. This enhanced storage is one of the characteristic features of the baffle bag, which is why it is also known as the Jumbo bag.
