Container Liner Bag is a large flexible bag laid inside a standard container, usually made of multi-layer PE film or woven fabric composite, used for transporting bulk granular or powdered cargo (such as plastic resins, fertilizers, grains, mineral sands, etc.). Its core function is to replace traditional small packaging or ton bags, directly using the container as a transport unit to achieve bulk cargo containerization. Usage scenarios include: bulk cargo exports, goods requiring moisture and contamination protection, and businesses seeking to reduce packaging and handling costs. Precautions: select appropriate material and thickness based on cargo characteristics (e.g., anti-static, food grade); ensure the liner bag matches container dimensions and is securely fixed during installation to avoid displacement or damage during transport; loading/discharging ports must be sealed to prevent leakage; consider quarantine requirements of destination countries for wooden packaging or food-contact materials. Difference from ordinary FIBC: liner bags do not bear load independently, relying on container body support, with larger capacity (up to 30 cubic meters or more) and higher loading/unloading efficiency; compared to ordinary containers, the liner bag solution requires no container modification but incurs additional laying and recycling costs. Difference from Flexitank: flexitanks are for liquids, liner bags are for solid bulk cargo.
📝 Examples
1. The batch of polyethylene pellets we export uses container liner bag packaging, each container can hold 25 tons, saving about 30% in packaging and labor costs compared to traditional 25 kg small packaging. (Note: demonstrates the cost advantage of liner bags in bulk cargo)
2. Please note that container liner bags shipped to Australia must provide fumigation certificates or use fumigation-free materials, otherwise they may face customs clearance delays at the destination port. (Note: reminds that liner bag exports need to pay attention to destination country quarantine requirements)
