What Are The Different Types Of Bulk Bags?

 

Many companies like to use bulk bags in the shipping and receiving industry of dirt, grain, and soil. It is a more simplified way to load and unload your items, plus keep them safe. There are many different kinds to choose from. You are sure to find one that will fit your needs. This article will discuss the different types that you have to choose from. 

Form A

These bags are made out of woven polypropylene (PP), a strong plastic material made to withstand heavy loads. Some bulk bags have antistatic protection on them to help with dumping them. It keeps the product in a constant flow out of the bag. 

Form A bulk bags (also referred to as Form A FIBC bags) do not have this antistatic protection on them. This requires that you are careful of what products that you do use these bags for. You can be presented with a problem without static protection when combustible or flammable products are stored in these bags. 

Form B

Form B bags are very similar to Form A in how they are made. Neither have the antistatic protection to them. This can be confusing when people are looking at the makeup of the bags to determine the difference in them. 

Form B can dissipate the chances of propagating brush discharges, even though they do not have static protection. While you want to stay away from flammable and combustible products, these bags can hold dry flammable products. Form B FIBC bags can still ignite if they are near flammable gases. Careful precautions should be taken. 

Form C

Form C FIBC bags are made with an interwoven PP conductive material. It creates a stronghold that is very durable. These bags can be used for flammable vapors and gases due to the conductive material used. 

Certain precautions should still be used to assure optimum safety is adhered to. The most common uses that companies use Form C bulk bags for are transporting flammable powders. Form C FIBC bags are a safe option to ship them in. 

Form D

Static protection is one of the safety aspects added to the Form D bulk bags. Using these bags is a safe option for the people around it and the product inside. It is made from an antistatic material to refrain from becoming flammable. 

The most common types of items that are shipped in these bags are flammable powders. It keeps them safe when they are near any combustible dust or flammable vapors. There are many very important reasons always to make sure you are shipping your items in the safest way possible.

Why You Should Buy Shipping Supplies In Bulk

Are you running a small crafting business that does a lot of shipping? The cost of supplies can get pricey. One way to get more for your money is to buy your items in bulk. In this article, we will discuss some of the many reasons you should purchase shipping supplies in bulk. 

To Protect Your Bottom Dollar

When owning a business, it is always important to think about your bottom dollar. You still need to make a profit. This means paying close attention to everything that you are spending money on. You don’t want to choose the first supplies that you come across. You want to check prices.

The supplies you use to package your items can be bought in bulk to save you money. When you are buying in bulk, the more you buy at one time, the less you pay per item. Make sure that what you are buying in bulk are items you know you will use. 

To Have What You Need On Hand

The last thing you want is to be out of the supplies you need to package an item. As a business owner, you don’t have time to stop business and run to the store in the middle of the day. If you buy your items in bulk, you can lessen your chances of this happening. 

Consistency Is The Key To Success

Finding a place that you like to order from takes time. Once you get used to that product and are completely comfortable using it, it could change. Companies change their products and possibly go out of business all of the time.

Although this can happen when buying in bulk, hopefully, you will have enough on hand to give you time to find another place to buy your items. Not only do you get used to the products you use, but your customers do as well. When you are consistent with your business, things run much smoother. 

Take Some Tasks Off your Plate

When shipping supplies are ordered in bulk, it can take some of the tasks you need to do off your plate. Instead of constantly making orders for supplies, you can spread them out less often. It can be a headache to continually need to reorder items and risk running out before they arrive. 

You can average your totals and the number of items you ship daily. This can give you a projected number to know how much to order for your business. That way, you are prepared and ready for the items you need to ship.

What Can I Order In Bulk For My Company?

You can order almost anything you need for shipping in bulk. Make a list of everything you use to make sure you get all you need. Some of the many items that you can order in bulk are:

• Boxes

• Labels

• Carton Sealing Tape

• Wrapping Paper

• Mailing Bags and Envelopes

• Corrugated Rolls and Sheets

• Cushioning Materials and Systems

• Packaging Machine

• Tape

• Tissue

These are some of the things you can order in bulk for your projects. Hopefully, this helps you!

3 Reasons To Consider Changing Your Garage Into An Office

In light of the recent global changes with COVID, many people are now working from home. That can both be a good thing and a struggle for people. If you do not have a designated place to call a home office, you can find yourself distracted. If you have a garage space, this can be the perfect area to turn into an office. Let’s discuss some of the reasons why you should consider doing a garage conversion for your home office. 

1. It Is Away From The Home

Let’s face it; it can be very distracting working from home, especially when your family is also home most of the time due to the pandemic. Even if your spouse stays home with small children, not due to the pandemic, a lot is going on in the home. 

This can be a struggle to get your work done. In the garage, it’s detached from the house. It allows you a separation from home and work, even though they are pretty much in the same place. Sometimes, you need that separation to break free from work at the end of the workday. 

2. Increase The Value Of Your Home

The living space in your home is where the square footage costs the most. The garage is at least half the square footage value when you are looking to sell. If you were to add valuable space to your garage, you could increase your home’s value with a home office. 

Whether you are looking to sell soon or not, it is always good to look at the big picture when you are making changes to your home. On average, there is a ten percent increase in your home’s value by doing garage conversions. For example:

• Your Home Value May Be $200 Per Square Foot

• Your Garage Space May Only Be $100 Per Square Foot

• With A Garage Office, That Part Will Go Up TO $200 Per Square Foot

• The Whole Garage Doesn’t Increase, Just The Added Living Space

3. It Is Affordable

Anytime you are remodeling your home, it can make you a little sick to your stomach when you talk about costs. When you add a room to your home, you are talking about a lot of construction, including foundation work. That is where your costs can begin to add up. 

If you already have a garage, you should think about the possibility of converting it into an office. You can either use space that is already there that you aren’t using, or you can build space above it. Either way, you are looking at a much more affordable project than foundation work and adding space to your home. 

Think About Your Options

It is always good to way out your options when making these changes to your home. Talk with a professional and get their opinion. They can help you think about things that you may not have realized matters. You can also get an idea if this is worth you investing in or not.
