From us. Our warehouse and finishing shop are in LaSalle, on the island of Montreal, and have been since 1947. The bags themselves are produced by long-standing partner mills; we hold the inventory here, and printing and finishing are done in our own shop. For you that means short lead times on standard sizes and someone to call in Montreal rather than a supplier on the other side of the world.

There is no single price, and be wary of anyone who quotes one without asking questions. Cost depends on order volume, the load it must carry (the SWL), fabric weight, whether it needs a liner, the number of spouts, printing, and the electrostatic type (A, B, C or D). A plain unlined bag and a printed Type C for combustible powder are not in the same price bracket. Tell us the material, the weight and how you fill it, and you will get a firm number.

A new bag carries a traceable load certificate and has never held anything. A reconditioned bag has been used, cleaned and inspected, and costs less — but its history limits where it can go. For food, pharmaceutical and anything involving electrostatic safety, start with new. For fill, waste or in-plant transfer, reconditioned makes good sense.

It depends on the safety factor printed on the label. A 5:1 bag is built to be reused; a 6:1 bag is single-trip. Reusing a 6:1 means spending the safety margin it was engineered with. When in doubt, the sewn-in label decides — not how the bag looks.

Three materials, three answers. Flour is a fine food-grade powder: food-grade liner, and mind the electrostatic type if the product is combustible. Plastic pellets flow well but build static charge: the right type depends on your equipment and the zone classification. Sand is heavy and abrasive: SWL and fabric strength drive the choice, and a liner is rarely needed. Describe the material and we will settle it.

Only a few kilograms for a common size — the number that matters is what it can carry, typically 1,100 to 4,400 lb depending on construction. Tare weight matters for freight calculations and for manual handling before filling; ask us for the exact size you have in mind.

Three things matter. SWL (Safe Working Load): the maximum load in service. The safety factor (5:1 or 6:1): the strength margin, and therefore whether you may reuse it. The type (A, B, C or D): electrostatic behaviour. The rest — dimensions, lot, date — is traceability. Our FIBC guide covers each one.

Yes, anywhere in Canada. For recurring orders we set up replenishment agreements so you are never caught short between production runs.

U-panel, circular and 4-panel with baffles, with or without liner, depending on your product and handling equipment.

Yes — a deep selection is warehoused in Canada for fast delivery, and custom builds are produced to order.

Tell us your product (grain, minerals, sand, chemicals) and your filling, lifting and transport constraints: we recommend the fabric, liner and configuration.

SWL (Safe Working Load) is the maximum working load of the bag. A 5:1 safety factor means the bag is tested to withstand five times its SWL; certified multi-trip bags are built to 6:1.

It is the electrostatic classification: Type A has no protection, Type B limits high-energy discharges, Type C is conductive and must be grounded, Type D is static dissipative and needs no ground. The right choice depends on your product and working atmosphere.

Yes, with liners and constructions suited to direct food contact. Tell us the application in your quote request and we will recommend the right build.

Standard 5:1 bags are designed for single trip. Multi-trip bags built to a 6:1 safety factor are available — tell us your use cycle.

Commonly 1,000 to 4,400 lb depending on product density, with typical footprints of 35 x 35 to 40 x 40 inches and heights from 40 to 70 inches.
