IMPROVED SAFETY: The manual material handling of bulk material in bags and drums and the discharging of material into process equipment can expose workers to lifting injuries. Bulk Bags require less manual movement since they require a mechanical means (fork truck, pallet jack, or hoist) to move the container and introduce it into the process.
COST SAVINGS: The labor cost per container is typically reduced when bulk bags are used. The lifting, opening, dumping, and disposal of forty, 50-lb paper bags is in most cases greater than positioning and opening one 2000-lb. bulk bag.
ECONOMICAL PACKAGING: As bag capacity increases, tare weight as a percentage of material weight decreases. This means more material can be shipped with less packaging for the same cost. Properly sized bulk bags can also be positioned and stacked more efficiently to heights exceeding that of smaller bags, maximizing shipping container usage and storage facility space.
