FIBC Baffle Bag and Its Classification

As one of India’s leading FIBC Baffle Bag manufacturers and exporters, Mittal Technopack Pvt. Ltd. specializes in designing high-quality, durable, and cost-effective baffle bags that retain their shape, save space, and ensure product safety during transit.

What Is an FIBC Baffle Bag?

An FIBC Baffle Bag, also known as a Formstable Bag or Q Bag, is a type of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) engineered to maintain a cubical shape after filling. Unlike standard bulk bags that bulge outward when filled, baffle bags feature internal fabric panels called “baffles” stitched into the corners of the bag.

These baffles help distribute the load evenly and keep the bag’s shape intact, making it more stable, stackable, and space-efficient — ideal for industries dealing with powders, granules, or free-flowing products.

Classification of FIBC Baffle Bags

FIBC Baffle Bags are available in multiple designs and construction types, each suited for specific product requirements and handling needs. Below are the most common classifications:

1. Based on Construction Type

  • 4-Panel Baffle Bag:
    Made from four separate fabric panels with baffles attached at each corner. Offers excellent shape retention and high load capacity.
  • U-Panel Baffle Bag:
    Constructed using a U-shaped body and two additional side panels. Stronger and more durable than standard designs.
  • Circular (Tubular) Baffle Bag:
    Manufactured from a continuous circular fabric with baffles sewn inside. Ideal for lightweight or fine materials, minimizing seam stress.

2. Based on Fabric Type

  • Type A:
    Standard polypropylene fabric without electrostatic protection — suitable for non-flammable materials.
  • Type B:
    Prevents sparks and brush discharges; ideal for dry powders where flammable gases or vapors are not present.
  • Type C (Conductive):
    Made with conductive threads that are safely grounded during filling and discharging — used for flammable materials.
  • Type D (Static Dissipative):
    Eliminates the need for grounding while preventing static build-up — ideal for industries handling flammable powders or gases.

3. Based on Usage

  • Single-Trip (One-Time Use):
    Designed for one-time transport of materials; cost-effective for low-risk logistics.
  • Multi-Trip (Reusable):
    Built for multiple uses with higher safety factors (6:1), suitable for long-term industrial applications.

4. Based on Application

  • Food-Grade Baffle Bags:
    Manufactured in BRC AA+ Certified Clean Rooms, suitable for storing food ingredients, grains, sugar, and spices.
  • UN-Certified Baffle Bags:
    Designed for hazardous materials, complying with international safety regulations for chemical and petrochemical transport.
  • Industrial-Grade Baffle Bags:
    Used for construction materials, resins, fertilizers, and other non-food industrial products.
