When it comes to transporting and storing hazardous materials, the stakes couldn't be higher. Packaging failure doesn't just mean product loss. It can mean regulatory fines, environmental damage, and serious risk to workers and the public. So the question we hear often is: are UN certified bulk bags actually suitable for hazardous materials?

When shipping hazardous materials, choosing the right packaging isn't just good practice; it's a legal requirement. UN certified bulk bags (also known as UN-approved FIBCs) are specifically engineered and tested to safely contain dangerous goods during transport. But with so many suppliers in the market, how do you know you're buying the real thing?

When choosing the best flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) for your business, construction style has a direct impact on performance, cost, and operational efficiency. Circular bulk bags — also known as tubular bulk bags — are one of the most widely used FIBC designs in industrial packaging. They are an excellent solution for transporting and storing a wide range of dry, flowable materials due to their seamless body construction, high weight capacity, and adaptability across industries.

Most bulk bags, also called FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), fall between 36 and 96 inches tall when filled. The practical sweet spot for most procurement and warehouse operations is 45 to 72 inches. Beyond that, you can start running into real constraints that can affect safety, handling, and storage efficiency.

One-ton bulk bags — also known as ton bags or FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) — are essential for safely storing and transporting heavy, flowable materials. Industries such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and recycling rely on these durable containers to move large quantities of dry goods efficiently and cost-effectively.

Sustainability doesn't have to mean trade-offs. Today, Global-Pak's customers can choose between three proven paths: Bioremediation bulk bags, rPET bulk bags, and rPP bulk bags. Below is a clear, side-by-side comparison plus practical guidance on how to pick the best fit for your operation.

Moving dry agricultural products well is about more than capacity—it's about product protection, speed, cost, and compliance. Two go-to formats dominate this space: polypropylene bulk bags (FIBCs) and rigid IBCs/seed boxes. Each has strengths. Here's how they stack up for feed, grain, and seed—and how Global-Pak can help you choose the right fit.

Global-Pak helps seed producers and distributors move product safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively with a full range of packaging options tailored for seed. Our team delivers depth of supply, simplified logistics, quality control, practical expertise, and excellent service.

If you have ever tried to buy bulk bags, you have probably run into a tangle of names: FIBC, Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container, jumbo bag, PP bag, super sacks, bulk bag containers, and sacks and bags. The good news is that most of these terms overlap. The better news is that Global-Pak can help you sort them out so you get exactly what you need.

If you’ve ever used a bulk bag (also called an FIBC—Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), you’ve relied on a humble but high performance material: polypropylene. At Global-Pak, we engineer, test, and supply bulk packaging built on polypropylene because it delivers strength, safety, and value across industries—from agriculture and food to chemicals, minerals, and recycling.

The bulk bags supply chain plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient movement and storage of goods across various industries. Bulk bags, also known as FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), are widely used for transporting and storing bulk products, and their role in the supply chain cannot be understated. By optimizing the bulk bags supply chain, businesses can significantly reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. Learn more about our bulk bag solutions.

Antistatic bulk bags — also known as Type B, Type C, and Type D FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) — are designed to safely store and transport materials in environments where static electricity can create hazards.

To help you plan for the months ahead, we’re sharing a concise update on resin pricing, freight trends, tariffs, lead times, and evolving EPR regulations.

As U.S. packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws continue to evolve, Q2 2026 brings several important regulatory developments, clarifications, and implementation updates. While the Q1 update focused on upcoming deadlines and initial program rollouts, Q2 introduces new legal challenges, Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) developments, and shifting timelines that producers must closely monitor.

When working with bulk bags, safety should always be a top priority. Bulk bag safety tips are crucial for ensuring the well-being of workers and the efficiency of operations. In this article, we’ll cover the most important safety practices for handling bulk bags and why they matter.

Custom bulk bags play a vital role in industries that rely on safe, efficient storage and transportation of bulk materials. These versatile, customizable bags provide an excellent solution for handling a variety of goods, from agricultural products to chemicals. When choosing the right bulk bag, it's essential to consider factors such as material, size, and load capacity to meet specific needs.

If you’ve ever tackled a home cleanout, light renovation, or yard project, you’ve probably seen ads for “dumpster bags.” They promise easy debris removal without renting a steel dumpster. But what exactly is a dumpster bag, and how does it compare to lining a roll-off container for larger or ongoing jobs?

Bulk bag compliance is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient handling of bulk products. It covers a range of guidelines that manufacturers and users must adhere to for quality, safety, and environmental standards. Complying with these regulations helps minimize risks and ensures that the bags meet industry expectations.
