Clever Product Identification in FIBC Bags: Custom Printing versus Color-Coded Loops

In busy warehouses, port terminals, and industrial storage yards, managing hundreds of FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags filled with different materials can quickly become a logistical diffculty. Distinguishing between fine mineral grades, different chemical granulars, or distinct agricultural harvests without opening or unstacking every bag is critical for workflow efficiency and safety.

in order to solve this challenge, We, Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company ( NAPCO ) suggests bulk packaging buyers generally choose between two primary product identification methods: Custom Surface Printing or Color-Coded Lifting Loops.

At Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company ( NAPCO ), we offer both options to ensure your bulk packaging meets your budget, brand visibility, and warehouse management needs.

Method 1: Custom Surface Printing (High Visual Detail)

Printing brand logos, product names, hazard symbols, and usage instructions directly onto the woven polypropylene (PP) fabric provides maximum clarity for end users.

• Advantages:

  • Detailed Information: Displays exact chemical names, batch numbers, barcodes, and safety warnings directly on the bag body.

  • Brand Promotion: Enhances company branding and product recognition across retail and industrial export markets.

• Limitations:

  • Higher Cost: Incurs additional printing plate setup fees and higher per-unit production costs.

  • Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): Often requires larger print runs to justify setup expenses.

Method 2: Color-Coded Lifting Loops (Cost-Effective & Rapid Identification)

For internal warehouse sorting, batch differentiation, or budget-conscious operations, using color-coded webbing loops is the smartest and most economical solution.

• Advantages:

  • Highly Cost-Effective: Adds virtually zero extra cost compared to full-color fabric printing.

  • Instant Long-Distance Identification: Forklift operators and crane technicians can identify material categories from a distance inside large, dimly lit warehouses or outdoor yards.

  • Flexibility: Allows quick visual separation of different batch runs, particle sizes, or material grades using the same unprinted bag body.

Available Loop Colors at Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company (NAPCO)

At Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company (NAPCO), we manufacture high-tensile woven polypropylene webbing in a wide palette of vivid, UV-stabilized colors.

Our standard available loop color options include:

1. White: Clean, standard aesthetic ideal for food-grade and pharmaceutical cargo.

   

2. Black: High-contrast, UV-resistant webbing frequently used in mining and construction.

3. Red: Perfect for quick hazard warnings or premium grade differentiation.

4. Green: Popular in agriculture, organic products, and eco-friendly raw materials.

5. Blue: High visibility for chemical processing and industrial manufacturing.

6. Brown: Excellent for soil, minerals, aggregates, and agricultural feed.

Single Colors vs. Mixed Color Combinations

To increase your identification choices without incurring printing fees, NAPCO allows you to combine colors across the bag’s loop system:

• Single-Color System: All 4 loops share the same solid color (e.g., 4 Red Loops for Grade A material, 4 Blue Loops for Grade B).

• Mixed-Color Combinations: Combine two or more distinct colors on a single bag (e.g., 2 Red Loops + 2 Blue Loops, or 3 White Loops + 1 Black Indicator Loop). This multi-color arrangement expands your sorting codes exponentially without adding printing setup expenses.
