Bags, pallets and what fits in a container

Container loading is where unexpected costs come from. These are the options and the numbers we quote against.

PackagingTypical useLoading, 20'GPNotes
50 kg PP woven bagStandard distributor pack~540 bags (27 t)Laminated or unlaminated
25 kg PP woven bagRetail and smallholder markets~1,000 bags (25 t)Higher bag cost per tonne
1,000 kg jumbo bagBlenders and large farms~25 bags (25 t)Needs forklift at destination
Palletised 50 kgWhere handling labour is limited~20 tFewer tonnes per container
Bulk in linerBlenders with silo capacity~27 tNot available for all grades

Exact loading depends on bag dimensions and granule bulk density. We confirm the loading plan per order before production.

PRIVATE LABEL

Your bag, your wording

Bag printing is part of the OEM run. Send artwork and we confirm what the printer needs.

Artwork

Print-ready file, or we adapt a layout you describe. Colour reference matters more than the file format.

Language

Label text in the language your market requires. We do not machine-translate regulatory wording.

Lead time

OEM adds roughly 10–15 days over a standard bag because the printing is a separate run.

Minimum

Printing is economic from one container upward for most bag types.
