Bulk bags
Our bulk bags meet international standards for transporting solids and liquids. Available in standard configurations (Types 102-108) and custom designs with UV-stabilised polypropylene. Features include water-resistant liners, dangerous goods ratings, and space-saving cube designs that increase payload capacity by 30%.
IBC containers
We supply rigid and collapsible IBCs for liquid and solid materials. Options include paper, plastic, and steel containers with capacities up to 2000L. Our designs reduce storage space through stackable configurations while maintaining 8-10 ton compression strength for safe handling of hazardous substances.
Container liners
Custom PE container liners provide hygienic transport for bulk commodities. Features include 100% recyclable materials, reinforced edges for forklift access, and reduced product loss during shipping. Our liners increase loading capacity while lowering freight and cleaning costs through easy installation.
Dairy milk powder bags
Specialist FIBCs for dairy products with EVOH liners offering superior barrier properties. Designs include push/pull mechanisms for easy handling and stack configurations rated for four-high storage. Custom options optimise payload capacity while meeting strict food safety regulations.
Bag pallets
Lightweight HDPE bag pallets (4.7kg) provide cost-effective alternatives to wooden pallets. Features include 3-tonne dynamic load capacity, space-saving stackability, and foreign object reduction for food manufacturers. Each pallet increases container payload by 300kg through reduced weight compared to traditional options.
