Product Description
The Type A 4-Panel FIBC Bag is designed for buyers who need every cubic centimetre of container or warehouse space. By stitching four individual fabric panels together, this design achieves a true square or rectangular profile when filled, eliminating the sidewall bulging common in U-Panel and circular bags.
The result is up to 20% better space utilisation per container load, translating directly to lower freight costs for exporters and importers.
Why Choose This Bag?
- True square profile when filled — maximises container and pallet utilisation
- Reduced sidewall bulge improves stacking height and warehouse density
- Each panel can be individually tensioned for superior load stability
- Ideal for automated palletising and robotic warehousing systems
- Premium finish suits retail or display-facing supply chains
Typical Applications Industries
- Export-packed food ingredients (flour, sugar, rice, salt)
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders
- High-value chemical powders requiring container optimisation
- Plastic resins and masterbatch granules
- Any application where the maximum container fill rate is critical

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How much more space do 4-Panel bags save vs U-Panel?
In a standard 20ft container, 4-Panel FIBCs typically allow 15–20% more bags per load compared to U-Panel, due to the elimination of sidewall bulge.
Q2: Is the Type A 4-Panel FIBC bag more expensive than U-Panel FIBC Bag?
Yes, slightly — the additional stitching adds minor manufacturing cost. However, the freight savings from better container utilisation typically offset this within the first shipment.
Q3: Can I print our company logo on all four panels?
Absolutely. Our 4-colour flexographic printing covers all four side panels, making this bag an excellent branded packaging solution.
Q4: What is the typical GSM for food-grade applications?
We recommend 130–160 gsm with food-grade coating for food ingredient applications. Our team can advise on the optimal specification for your product.
