Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers or FIBC bulk bags, also known as jumbo bags and super sacks, are among the most in demand packaging options in recent times. Their usage has spanned across industries like chemicals, agriculture, food, construction, fertilizer, etc. According to Entrepreneur India, the packaging industry in India is set to surpass $73 billion, while the global markets will reach $1 trillion in the coming months. And since, FIBC bulk bags account for a big chunk of the packaging industry, their demand is likely to boom even further.This boom in the demand for super sacks is supported by the influx of a large number of manufacturers in India and elsewhere. However, not all are as prudent in providing the perfect product, which makes assessing a manufacturer necessary. Following are a few parameters that can help assess a FIBC bulk bag manufacturer:
Infrastructure of the Company
One of most important factors of assessment of a manufacturing company is its infrastructure capabilities. A FIBC jumbo bag manufacturer must have highly skilled personnel, along with internationally competent machinery and equipment. Companies with incompetent infrastructure cannot deliver the highest quality of products. Moreover, it is also important that the manufacturer must have a robust testing facility, to ensure quality standards. You must determine the quality of product the manufacturer produces and the time required for delivery.
Experience & Network of the Company
The rising demand of FIBC bulk bags has attracted several new players in manufacturing, however, you need to engage with the ones with strong experience, and this doesn’t necessarily mean the years of which the company is in existence. The management of the company must have extensive experience in the industry, and possess core competencies in the field. Also, assess the clientele of the company, and if you find reputed names in it frequently, it is the one to trust. Besides, the geographical business network of the company is also an important factor, as a manufacture serving internationally is bound to have higher standards.
Legal & Statutory Compliance
FIBC bulk bag manufacturing is industrious job, which also requires a number of licenses and certifications for operations. Partnering with a company that fails compliance is not healthy for the reputation of your brand. Additionally, a non-compliant manufacturer, most often than not, wouldn’t focus much on standards, going for quantity rather than quality. If you need the FIBC jumbo bags for vulnerable materials like chemicals, or for storing food products, it is highly recommended that your engage only with manufacturers who have all the compliance in place.
Range of Products
Diversity is the name of the game in modern times, and hence, it is important that you assess how diverse the range of products of a manufacturer is. Depending on your requirements, you need to ensure that the manufacturer you choose can supply FIBC bulk bags in all the different shapes and sizes that you need. Moreover, the suppliers must also have different types of FIBC bags, in terms of usage and quality.
