What are types of Jumbo Bags?

Round Bags : Tubular woven fabrics are used to make this type of bags. The tubular fabric is made into a tube shape without any side seams. This type of bag is not able to maintain its shape while filling the material. As the product is loaded into the bag, it changes appearance depending on the type of material. You can compare it to a large, fully loaded tomato.

U-shaped panel bag: This is better than a round bag. Two U-shaped woven panels are joined together to make this type of bag. It holds a cube shape better than a round bag when loaded.

FOUR-PANEL BAG: A four-piece bag is the standard choice for obtaining a square shape when loading materials. Four pieces of woven polypropylene are joined together to form the sides of the container. A separate square panel is used to create the bottom of the bag.

Baffle bags: this is the most suitable option if a cube-shaped package is required. Here, four additional baffles are sewn to the four sides of the bag. Thus, it maintains its cube shape irrespective of the type of material loaded.
