Packaging by product

Grain and Feed Ingredients

Grain, feed and seed move as dry bulk at thin margins, where packaging cost per tonne is watched closely.

What drives the packaging decision

  • Dry bulk; moisture and contamination are the enemies.
  • Margins are thin — packaging cost per tonne decides.
  • Discharge infrastructure varies widely at receiving sites.

Packaging approaches worth considering

FIBC / Bulk Bag

A woven polypropylene bag with lifting loops, for dry bulk solids and powders.

It is the lightest way to move a tonne of dry product as one handling unit.

Bulk Liner Systems

Large liners fitted into a container, trailer or box so bulk product travels without a dedicated vessel.

It converts a general transport unit into a bulk vessel for one trip.

Collapsible Bulk Container

A reusable bulk container whose walls fold down when empty.

It keeps reusable-container economics without paying to move air on the return leg.

Compare two formats side by side

The honest trade-off

Bulk bags are the default for unitised loads; container liners remove packaging weight almost entirely for full-container lots. Reusable collapsible containers only pay inside a controlled loop.
