Choosing the right packaging bag for your product is like choosing a shirt that fits you well. And like making any other choice, you can also make a mistake while choosing the right bulk bag. However, while you can also return the shirt without any harm, having the wrong bulk bag can have serious repercussions. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right bulk bag for your needs. Here are a few common mistakes that you need to avoid:
Wrong Size and Shape
The most common mistake packers make is choosing incorrect sizes and shapes of super sack bulk bags. FIBC bulk bags come in a plethora of shapes and sizes, varying as per the requirements. For instance, a construction company needs bulk bags to transport and store soil or sand in large quantities, they would still need bulk bags of smaller sizes for the ease of use during construction and storing them for a long time. However, exporters of pulses of grains would need bulk bags of one tonne size as they would be stored together for a long period without being opened. Correspondingly, you also need to determine the right shape for the material you need to store.
Wrong Order Quantity and Quality
Two of the important factors influencing buying decisions are the quantity and quality of the product being ordered. Buying bulk bags in large quantities can bring down the costs, and therefore, you need to find the perfect balance between quantity you need and the costs you incur. Buying extra bags wouldn’t need immediately for a lower price is better than paying extra every time you make a purchase. Similarly, you might need different quality of bulk bags for storing chemical waste than what you’d need for storing rice or wheat. Buyers often make mistakes in these two things, avoiding which can save a lot of money.
Wrong Recycle Management
The recyclable nature of plastic makes it sustainable. But when a polymer is manufactured with a combination of multiple polymers, the ability to recycle is put under stake. The product cannot be recycled without separating the polymers from each other. However, at Emmbi, we produce FIBC super sack with a single homopolymer called “Raffia Grade Polypropylene”. There is a special technology called “Texture Management” which helps in creating products from the same homopolymer with different hardness and softness. Therefore, choosing combination polymers over single homopolymer would defeat the recyclable qualities of plastic, making it a environmental hazard and an economical loss.
Choosing the Wrong Supplier
For having an uninterrupted supply, you need a trusted supplier of bulk bags, someone like Emmbi, that has an established reputation, as well as extensive experience of manufacturing high-quality bulk bags for international clients. Being India’s oldest ISO 9001 certified Company for Design & Manufacturing of FIBC’s and various woven polymer-based products, Emmbi has its presence in around 56 countries across 5 continents. This gives it the ability to gather cross locational knowledge and apply it to the design aspects in designing and manufacturing the products. Choosing a supplier with the lack of international experience or a proven track record, though they are cheap, entails several risks along with it that could dent your business reputation.
