Baffle FIBC

There are 3 basic types of bulk bag constructions: U-Panel, 4-Panel, and Circular/Tubular. Baffles are an internal component that can be added to each construction to create a “baffled” bag. More specifically, baffles are fabric panels or strings sewn inside each of the bag’s four corners that allow a bag to maintain a square shape when filled.

Baffled, Formstable, and Q Bag are all terms for the same type of square FIBC.

Without baffles, a standard bulk bag can bulge or belly at the sides when filled. Baffled bags are ideal due to their stability and stackability. They also improve overall storage capacity. The most common type of baffled bag is a 4-Panel baffled bag.
