South Africa is a braai-loving nation and prides itself on an excellent reputation for outdoor cooking. This widespread love for the humble braai has created a thriving industry for charcoal and briquettes, however, moving these dry fuels from factories to packaging and distribution facilities requires bulk storage solutions.
Bulk bags are a reliable, effective, and proven packaging option for storing and transporting large quantities of charcoal and briquettes. Traditional packaging products, such as paper bags and cardboard boxes, have limitations; they may not keep charcoal dry or provide the strength to move hundreds of kilograms in one go.
Custom Bulk Bags is a leading manufacturer and supplier of bulk bags in South Africa. We produce up to 3.5 million units per year and our products can safely hold between 500kg and two tonnes of material per bag. We offer several UN-certified designs and attachments, making our products fully customisable to meet your unique needs.
Why bulk bags are ideal for charcoal
Bulk bags are an excellent way to store and transport charcoal and briquettes. These huge, flexible containers offer a number of features that make them a better alternative than standard packaging:
- Moisture protection – Charcoal and briquettes are extremely susceptible to moisture damage, which can result in lower quality and performance. Bulk bags are made of strong polypropylene fabric, which provides good moisture protection. Adding plastic inner liners to the bulk bags further enhances moisture protection, keeping the product dry and ready to use.
- Durability and strength – Bulk bags are built to handle high loads and harsh handling conditions. Their strong design is tear-resistant and can help to minimise damage caused by punctures and shart objects, guaranteeing that the charcoal or briquettes arrive undamaged.
- Versatility – Bulk bags can be customised to meet your specific needs, including size, shape, and features such as discharge spouts and lifting loops. This adaptability aids the effective handling and storage of charcoal and briquettes.
- Cost-effectiveness – Bulk bags are an economical packing alternative. They are relatively affordable to manufacture and they are reusable, which eliminates the need for regular purchases of new packing materials. Furthermore, their enormous capacities help to reduce shipping costs.
- Environmental friendliness – Bulk bags can be made from recycled polypropylene, which promotes sustainability and minimises the environmental impact of packaging materials. For charcoal and briquettes, recycled polypropylene is perfectly fine as a packaging material.
