One of the great things about these UN-rated bulk bags is how easy they are to close. The outermost layer simply zips shut, and you can determine the best method to close the integrated liner based on your needs – gooseneck and taped/tied, folded over, etc.

These self-standing bulk bags are very easy for one person to set up and use. We even had a friendly timed competition to see which of our staffers could deploy one the quickest – check it out here.

We have great testing success and customers have reported that loaded bags can be stacked for storage and disposal shipment if done properly. Basically, ensure the volume fills the bag, and full bags are stacked in a pyramid fashion. More information can be provided upon purchase.

Yes and no. While we do not recommend long-term outdoor storage, we have had success with short-term outdoor storage exposed to the elements. If you need long-term outdoor storage, we recommend the bags be covered with a protective tarp to prevent direct UV exposure and moisture which can weaken the fiberboard sidewalls.
