Types of Testing to Ensure the Quality of Jumbo Bags

Types of Testing to Ensure the Quality of Jumbo Bags

At Mittal Technopack, quality isn’t just a standard—it’s a promise. As a pioneer in the manufacturing of Jumbo Bags (FIBC – Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), we understand that these industrial containers play a critical role in storing and transporting a wide range of bulk materials. Whether used in agriculture, chemicals, construction, or food-grade applications, the safety and durability of these bags are non-negotiable.

To ensure unmatched performance and customer satisfaction, every Jumbo Bag we produce undergoes stringent quality testing based on global standards. In this blog, we walk you through the various types of testing performed to validate the quality, strength, and reliability of FIBC bags.


Key Types of Testing for Jumbo Bags

  1. Top Lift Test – This test determines the Safe Working Load (SWL) and ensures the bag can safely hold and lift its intended load. The bag is filled and lifted using lifting loops to evaluate its structural integrity.
  2. Drop Test – Simulating real-world handling, the drop test checks how well a filled bag can withstand a sudden fall. Bags are dropped from specific heights to assess durability and seam strength.
  3. UV Resistance Test – Since many FIBC bags are stored outdoors, this test ensures the bag’s resistance to
  4. UV degradation. We evaluate how long the polypropylene fabric can retain strength under continuous sun exposure.
  5. Vibration Test – Bags are placed on a vibrating platform to simulate transportation stress. This helps us ensure that the fabric and stitching remain intact during long-distance transit over rough surfaces.
  6. Stacking Test – To test vertical compression resistance, bags are stacked under specified weight and duration. This ensures they maintain shape and strength during warehouse storage.
  7. Fabric GSM and Tensile Strength Test – We measure GSM (grams per square meter) and conduct tensile strength tests to ensure the fabric has the right balance of weight and robustness for safe usage.
  8. Seam Strength Test – Seams are often the most vulnerable part of a Jumbo Bag. Our seam strength tests evaluate the stitching quality, ensuring it can withstand expected pressure without failure.
  9. Electrostatic Testing (For Type C & D Bags) – For bags used in flammable or sensitive environments, electrostatic testing ensures the bag can safely dissipate or prevent static electricity buildup.
  10. Air Permeability and Moisture Testing (For Food & Pharma Use) – Special bags undergo tests to check permeability and moisture barriers—critical for sensitive or perishable materials.
