Vet your Supplier.](https://blog.nationalbulkbag.com/fibc-bulk-bags/want-quality-fibc-vet-your-supplier) When it comes to FIBCs, quality is one of the most important aspects to purchasing. Any buyer *needs* to know that they are getting a quality product from their distributor of choice. Why you ask? Safety. Bulk bags are used to carry thousands of pounds of products and raw materials in facilities all around the world. If a bag fails, people can get hurt. Even worse, if a bag fails under the wrong circumstances, fatalities can occur.

What does that mean? It means that no matter what US-based distributor your organization purchases jumbo bags from, more than likely they are coming from overseas. That means your lead times are going to be impacted by the production and shipping processes associated with each plant. This is important to note as it is critical in the planning and production of projects that use FIBC jumbo bags.
