Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC Bags), commonly known as bulk bags, have become indispensable in industries requiring safe and efficient storage or transportation of bulk materials. Among these, woven bulk bags with antistatic properties play a critical role in ensuring safety during the handling of flammable or sensitive materials. At VidePak, our production processes leverage cutting-edge technologies from Austrian manufacturer Starlinger and German supplier W&H. This integration of advanced machinery not only boosts efficiency but also enhances product quality, particularly in terms of durability and flexibility.
Explore the versatility and benefits of FIBC Bags in bulk packaging applications. These bags, produced using automation-rich setups with line speeds exceeding 200 units per minute, showcase unparalleled efficiency and performance. Additionally, our focus on fine drawing techniques significantly influences the mechanical properties of these containers, making them a trusted choice across various industries.
The Role of Antistatic Properties in FIBC Bags
Antistatic FIBC bags are critical for environments where static electricity poses a risk. These bags, made with specially treated woven polypropylene, ensure safe handling in applications such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. The antistatic feature minimizes the chances of sparks, safeguarding materials and personnel. Our antistatic bulk bags conform to Type C or Type D safety classifications, ensuring compliance with stringent industrial safety standards.
Below is an overview of VidePak’s antistatic FIBC bag specifications:

| Safety Factor | 5:1 or 6:1 |
| Capacity | 500kg to 2000kg |
| Dimensions | Customizable based on client requirements |
| UV Protection | Optional, up to 1500 hours |
| Applications | Chemicals, food grains, pharmaceutical powders |
The Influence of Drawing Techniques on Bag Durability
One of the most critical aspects of producing woven bulk bags is the drawing process, which involves stretching molten polypropylene into fine tapes. This process determines the tapes’ tensile strength and elasticity—two factors that directly impact the bag’s durability and flexibility. At VidePak, our state-of-the-art drawing machines from Starlinger operate with precise tension control, ensuring consistent tape quality.
Advantages of Advanced Drawing Techniques:
- Enhanced Tensile Strength: Our finely drawn tapes exhibit higher breaking strength, allowing the bags to handle heavier loads without tearing.
- Improved Flexibility: Uniform drawing reduces brittleness, making the bags more pliable and resistant to stress.
- Dimensional Stability: Advanced tension controls ensure that tapes maintain uniform thickness and width, providing stability during bag fabrication.
- Abrasion Resistance: High-quality tapes resist wear and tear, even under rough handling conditions.
Automation-Driven Efficiency in Production
VidePak’s reliance on high-speed machinery ensures that our woven bulk bags are produced with exceptional consistency and minimal wastage. Each step, from extrusion to lamination and printing, benefits from automation, allowing us to maintain quality while meeting high-volume demands.
Key Features of Our Production Line:
