As a manufacturer specializing in dry packed materials, Bulk Bagging is a large part of what we do. There are many benefits when choosing to receive your material in Bulk Bags (also referred to as Super Sacks). And while the majority of materials are still provided in smaller capacity bags such as 80lbs, it cannot be underestimated the benefits that super sacks have to offer.

In this blog, we have provided some of the top reasons our customers seek bulk bagging as an option, and what some of the top benefits are.

Sustainability

As our industry strives for sustainability, more and more construction projects are focusing on reducing their environmental impact. For example, New York has the Buy Clean Concrete, an initiative directed at increasing sustainable practices within state funded construction projects.

With projects shifting to sustainable habits; materials in bulk bags can be a good strategy. This is because the bags we provide are reusable. And by using reusable bags a job site can eliminate the waste that comes from standard disposable packaging. In our case, our customers simply fold up the empty bulk bags and return them on the next scheduled delivery.

Quality Control

Let’s expand further on the benefits that come from reusable bulk bags. These bags need to be able to withstand the wear and tear that comes with transportation, construction sites, etc. Super sack bags have to be durable enough to endure the cycle of use over and over again.

Although these bags were designed to keep the material in, they do a great job of keeping things out too. Which in turn helps maintain the quality of the construction materials. Material becomes less susceptible to moisture, humidity, and rain incased in the heavy-duty bulk bags. Bulk bags manufactured at our facilities will also receive an overhead wrapping as a final layer of protection. This is an added sense of security when it comes to sensitive materials like sands.

Cost Efficient

Purchasing your construction materials in bulk bags can also help with cost efficiency through a couple factors. One of them refers back to the durability of the reusable bulk bags. The durable packaging greatly reduces the amount of wasted material through spillage.

Additionally, construction materials purchased in bulk can reduce the workforce needed to break down bags. Allowing job sites to redistribute man power to other areas of a job site. In essence, construction materials in super sacks will reduce wasted materials and increase site efficiency.

For example: A single bulk bag per ton that weighs 2000lbs equates to (25) x 80lb bags of material. Bulk bags are handled using equipment versus manual labor needed. The use of bulk bags is an efficient solution which provides consistency and reduces fatigue that otherwise would be caused by handling smaller capacity bags.

All in all, when planning your next project ordering your material in bulk bags could be a benefit in the long run. Maybe your project needs to shift to sustainable options. Or maybe you’re working with a smaller site crew. What ever the reasons consider Bulk Bags for your next project.
