Skirt Top / Flat Bottom FIBC Bags
Covered-top FIBC format for operations that want simple top protection and flat-bottom pallet stability without a spout inlet.
FIBC Bulk Bags
Ventilated FIBC Bags
Ventilated FIBC bags — also called ventilated bulk bags or breathable bulk bags — are designed for products that should breathe. Instead of a fully closed woven body, they use ventilated fabric zones or panel construction to support airflow through the filled bag. This is important for produce and other materials where trapped moisture or restricted airflow can affect product condition.

What This Configuration Is
About this bag configuration.
Ventilated FIBC bags are commonly used in agricultural and produce handling for potatoes, onions, carrots, firewood, and similar products that benefit from air movement. The construction supports ventilation while still providing bulk handling efficiency with forklift or crane-compatible lifting loops. Buyers usually choose this format for harvest, storage, and transport programs where airflow is a product-protection issue, not just a packaging preference.
