What You Should Know About Buying Bulk Bags in Australia

If you're transporting materials like sand, gravel, fertiliser, or powders, Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers—commonly known as bulk bags or FIBCs—are the most efficient and cost-effective solution. At Pacific Packaging Australia, we stock and supply high-quality bulk bags to customers across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Townsville and beyond.

Bulk bags are a staple in industries such as agriculture, construction, mining, landscaping, waste management, and chemical processing. Known for their strength, lightweight design, and reusability, they are the preferred choice for storing and transporting dry, flowable products—both safely and sustainably.

Key Benefits of Using Bulk Bags

• Exceptional Strength: Made from woven polypropylene, our bulk bags can handle loads up to 2000 kg. They're resistant to punctures, tearing, UV exposure, and stretching—ideal for tough Aussie conditions.
• Lightweight & Space-Saving: Despite their load capacity, each empty bag weighs just 2–3 kg and folds flat for efficient storage and transport.
• Cost-Effective: Bulk bags are cheaper to produce, ship and store compared to crates or rigid containers—without compromising durability.
• Eco-Friendly: Our bags are made from recyclable 100% virgin polypropylene, offering multiple uses and a lower environmental impact.
• Customisation: We offer options including Baffle Bags, Duffle Tops, Discharge Spouts, Liner Inserts and custom printing to suit different materials and industries.
