Our U panel jumbo bags are made by taking one initial piece of 100% polypropylene, which forms the base and two sides in the distinctive U-shape. Two additional side pieces of the same polypropylene are then sewn onto the other sides of the U-panel to form the final product.
U Panel Jumbo Bag Benefits
As one of our many types of FIBC bags, our U-panel FIBC bag comes with an array of benefits to you:
- Increased stability: The U-panel design provides extra stability due to the core single piece of fabric. This makes it less likely to topple over when filled with heavy or bulky materials.
- Stackability: In combination with the stability, the U structure allows the bags to be stacked neatly and securely, which maximizes storage space and reduces damage risk during transportation.
- Easier filling and emptying: The U-panel shape makes the bag easier to fill and empty, as the sides spread out to create a larger opening.
- Cost-effectiveness: As bulk bag suppliers, we ensure ALL our products are cost-effective, but the U-panel bulk bag is especially cost-effective due to the simple stitching needed for the three panels and minimal wastage during manufacturing.
7 U-Panel FIBC Bag Uses
U-panel FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk container) bags are widely used for various industrial applications due to their durability, strength, and flexibility:
- Construction: U-panel bags are ideal for storing and transporting construction materials such as sand, gravel, cement, and other aggregates.
- Agriculture: Seeds, fertilizers, animal feed, and grains are well-suited to these types of bulk bags.
- Chemicals: If you need to ship or store resins, plastic pellets, and other raw materials, U-panel FIBC bags are a good option.
- Food: While we feel that our U-panel bags can be used for any type of food due to the quality of the 100% polypropylene we use, sugar, flour, and rice are commonly used with our bags.
- Mining: We bet you hadn’t thought about using our bags for the mining industry, right? We’re proud to offer a solution for common mining products.
- Waste management: You can customize UN-certified bulk bags with the U-panel design for collecting, transporting, and recycling various types of waste, such as municipal, construction, and hazardous wastes.
- Pharmaceuticals: If you need a solution to ship & store active ingredients, powders, and granules relating to the pharma industry, get in touch with us to see how we can help.

Exceptional Graphic Quality
In combination with the above in-house design capabilities, we can assure you of the highest-quality custom graphics for your bags. This is largely down to the combination of our 10-color rotogravure press.
