Bulk containers are special large containers for holding and transporting free-flowing or liquid bulk goods. They are characterized by high volume capacity, reusability, and standardized dimensions.
Bulk containers are large packaging for free-flowing, granular, or liquid materials such as grain, granules, chemicals, or powders. They are used worldwide in logistics, trade, the chemical industry, and the agricultural sector. Their major advantage lies in the efficient use of space, standardization, and protection of the goods. They enable fast, safe, and clean loading – whether by truck, rail, or ship.
There are different types of bulk containers: so-called IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), Big Bags, or even special bulk boxes made of plastic or metal. Depending on their intended use, they are stackable, equipped with drain valves, or even temperature-resistant. They offer protection against contamination and evaporation, especially for liquids or sensitive materials.
Thanks to their standard dimensions, they fit perfectly into containers, pallet racks, or on conveyor belts. This significantly simplifies storage and logistics processes. Many models also score highly in terms of sustainability thanks to their reusability or recyclability. Bulk containers are used particularly in industrial series production or wholesale when large quantities of goods need to be moved.
