FIBC Bag Loop Types Manufactured by Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as NAPCO)

The lifting loop is one of the most critical structural components of an FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container). It bears the entire load weight during lifting, stacking, and transport. Choosing the right loop design ensures safe handling and compatibility with your warehouse equipment.

At Nghe An Packaging Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as NAPCO), we engineer high-tensile polypropylene lifting loops tailored to global industrial standards. Here is a breakdown of the primary FIBC loop types we manufacture for export.

1. Cross-Corner Loops

Cross-corner loops are sewn across adjacent corners of tubular or circular woven fabric bags.

• How It Works: The loop ends attach to two adjacent panel seams rather than a single corner. This creates an open, standing loop profile.

• Key Advantages: Keeps the loop standing upright automatically, making it extremely easy for forklift tines to enter without manual assistance.

• Best Suited For: Circular/tubular FIBC bags and automated packaging lines.

2. Corner Loops (Side-Seam / 4-Loop System)

Corner loops are sewn directly along the vertical side seams of 4-Panel or U-Panel bags.

• How It Works: Four individual webbing straps are stitched securely into each vertical corner seam.

• Key Advantages: Provides exceptional vertical strength distribution across all four corners, offering reliable support for heavy Safe Working Loads (SWL up to 2,000+ kg).

• Best Suited For: Heavy industrial powders, minerals, and high-density bulk goods.

3. Stevedore Loops

Stevedore loops are auxiliary lifting straps that connect two adjacent corner loops together, or wrap around all four loops to form a single overhead lifting point.

• How It Works: A heavy-duty webbing strap links the main loops together into a single-point or two-point lifting harness.

• Key Advantages: Enables rapid crane, hook, or single-arm hoist handling—ideal for ocean vessel loading where traditional forklifts are not used.

• Best Suited For: Maritime port loading, ship cargo, and remote site handling.

4. Rope Loops

Rope loops feature high-strength polypropylene multifilament or braided ropes integrated into the top fabric seams instead of flat webbing.

• How It Works: Flexible, high-tenacity PP ropes replace standard flat woven straps.

• Key Advantages: Offers smooth handling for specialized hook attachments and custom tie-off configurations.

• Best Suited For: Specialized chemical, agricultural, or custom industrial applications.

5. 2-Loop FIBCs

2-Loop bags feature two continuous lifting loops formed directly from the main body fabric or integrated into the top extension of the bag.

• How It Works: The fabric extends upward to create two wide, integrated handle loops.

• Key Advantages: Cost-effective design allowing multiple bags to be picked up simultaneously by a single forklift tine or crane hook.

• Best Suited For: High-volume agricultural goods, fertilizers, and bulk seed transport.
