Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between a U-Panel and a 4-Panel FIBC?
Type A U-Panel FIBC bag is made from a single U-shaped fabric piece plus two side panels, using fewer seams. A 4-Panel bag has four separate panels stitched together, which gives a squarer, more form-stable shape ideal for maximising container space.
Q2: Can U-Panel bags be reused?
Yes. When manufactured with a 6:1 safety factor, U-Panel FIBCs are rated for multi-trip use. Our sales team can advise on the correct SF for your application.
Q3: Are these bags suitable for outdoor storage?
Our bags are UV-stabilised for up to 2,500 hours of sun exposure. For extended outdoor storage, we recommend protective covers or shade structures.
Q4: What is the lead time for a large order?
Standard lead time is 25–35 days from order confirmation, depending on quantity and customisation. Contact us for expedited options.
