The packing method affects handling, product protection and unloading. Bagged minerals, loose lumps, fine powders and fertilizer granules need different preparation. The following options explain what to specify when requesting supply.
Jumbo Bags / FIBC Packing
Jumbo bags, also called FIBC or big bags, provide unitized handling for mineral and fertilizer cargo. They are useful where the buyer unloads with suitable lifting equipment and feeds the material into storage or production.
