Product Description
The standard bulk bag 1000kg is the most widely purchased FIBC specification in the world. Rated for a one-tonne safe working load with a 5:1 safety factor as standard, this bag replaces 20–40 individual 25 kg or 50 kg sacks in a single lift — transforming the economics of bulk material handling for manufacturers, distributors, miners, and agricultural processors globally.
At Tam Tam Packaging, our standard 1000 kg bulk bags are manufactured to ISO 21898 in a full range of construction styles — circular, U-panel, and 4-panel — with the complete spectrum of top and bottom options. Whether you need a basic open-top flat-bottom bag for a straightforward application or a spout-top conical-discharge version for a powder handling line, we produce it at competitive prices with consistent quality and reliable lead times from our Vietnam facility.
Which Construction Is Right for You?
| Construction | Best For | Key Advantage |
| Circular (tubular) | Fine powders, food, pharma | No vertical seams — lowest leakage risk |
| U-Panel | General industrial, construction | Most cost-effective construction |
| 4-Panel | Export, high container fill rate | True square shape — maximum space efficiency |
Why Choose This Bag?
- Replaces 20–40 individual small sacks in a single forklift lift — dramatic reduction in handling labour and time
- ISO 21898 certified with 5:1 safety factor as standard; 6:1 and 8:1 SF available for multi-trip or heavy-duty applications
- Available in three construction styles (circular, U-panel, 4-panel) to match your product and operational needs
- Full range of top and bottom options — any combination of fill and discharge method available
- Compatible with all standard forklift attachments and automated FIBC filling equipment globally
| 💡 BUYER TIP: Always measure your forklift tine spread and filling station overhead clearance before finalising your bag’s loop height specification. Loop height that is too short for your forklift or filling gantry is the most common cause of rework on first-time FIBC orders — and it is entirely avoidable with one measurement taken in advance. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between a 5:1 and 6:1 safety factor for 1000kg bulk bags?
The safety factor (SF) is the ratio of the bag’s tested break load to its rated safe working load (SWL). A 1,000 kg bag with SF 5:1 is tested to a minimum break load of 5,000 kg — meeting ISO 21898 requirements for single-use bags. SF 6:1 is the ISO 21898 requirement for multi-trip (reusable) bags, providing an additional margin to account for cumulative wear across multiple handling cycles.
Q2: Which construction style should I choose for my 1000kg bag?
Choose circular if your product is a fine powder and leakage through seams is a concern — the seamless tubular body minimises this risk. Choose U-panel if cost is the primary driver and your product is a granule, aggregate, or non-fine powder.
Q3: What top and bottom combination is most common for general use?
The most common configuration for general industrial use is spout top (for controlled dust-free filling) combined with a flat bottom (for applications where discharge is not required from the bag). For powder applications requiring controlled discharge, spout top combined with a conical discharge spout is the standard combination.
Q4: Can I order a small trial quantity before committing to a large order?
Yes. We accept sample orders from as few as 50 bags at standard unit pricing. This allows you to test fit on your filling equipment, verify bag dimensions and loop clearance on your forklift tines, and confirm the specification is correct before placing your main order.
