What’s a Baffle Bag Anyway?

For those just getting into the world of bulk storage, a baffle bag is a FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) designed to maintain a square shape when filled. This design maximizes storage and transport efficiency. Traditional baffle bags incorporate extra internal sewn-in fabric panels into each of the bag's four corners to keep more of its square shape.

Uses for Baffled FIBC Bulk Bags

Baffled FIBC bags are great for storing and transporting dry, free-flowing products. They’re ideal for products like:

  • Blended feed
  • Chemicals
  • Corn
  • Dry beans
  • Flour
  • Fumed silica
  • Grains
  • Mineral supplements
  • Peas
  • Pet food
  • Petrochemicals
  • Resin / Plastic material
  • Rice
  • Sand
  • Seeds
  • Sugar
  • Soybeans
  • Wheat

However, they aren't ideal for large, bulky materials that don't flow smoothly. Those bulkier materials can become stuck in internal baffles, making it difficult for the bag to expand fully into its corners, which may result in stability problems.

Safety and reliability are the number one priority. Each bag available for purchase comes with a specific safe working load (SWL), the most common being 2,200lbs and 3,000lbs. To make sure that the product you are packing does not exceed the SWL of the chosen bag, you’ll need to know the product's bulk density and the cubic foot capacity of the FIBC.
