SIGNS INDICATING WHEN TO REPLACE JUMBO BAGS
Don't wait until an incident occurs to replace Jumbo bags.
Jumbo bags (FIBCs) are materials directly related to the safety of goods and personnel. Continued use of degraded bags can lead to bag tearing, spillage of goods, and even accidents during lifting and handling.
Therefore, regular inspection and timely replacement of bags are the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure safety and stability in manufacturing and logistics.

Signs indicating that Jumbo bags need to be replaced
1. Bags stored for a long time in sunlight
UV rays are the primary cause of aging in the PP fabric fibers of Jumbo bags.
Easily recognizable signs:
• The bag fabric becomes stiff, dry, and rough
• Easily tears with slight impact
Even when stored indoors, if used for a long time, bags can still experience a decrease in durability due to changes in storage temperature. Furthermore, the durability and UV weather resistance of Jumbo bags are always controlled by the standard mixing ratio of UV additives, and periodic UV durability test results are sent to customers.

2. Frayed or scratched lifting loops
Lifting loops are the main load-bearing components during lifting and handling.
Special attention is required if:
• The loops are frayed or fibrous
• There are cuts or wear marks at the contact points with forklift tines
Even partial damage to a loop is enough to reduce the safe working load of the entire bag.

3. Signs of weakness in the stitching securing the lifting loops
The stitching connecting the lifting loops and the bag body is an area that:
• Easily experiences concentrated stress
• Is prone to degradation over time
Warning signs:
• Stitching is frayed or unraveling
• Fabric around the seam is worn or has small tears

4. Bag body is worn, thin, or scratched
During use, Jumbo bags are often subjected to:
• Friction with the floor surface
• Large and repetitive loads of goods
If the fabric appears thin, heavily frayed, or small holes appear, the bag should be replaced before a major tear occurs.
