SUBJECTS COVERED

PACKAGING – NEED FOR BULK PACKAGING FACTORS THAT DETERMINE SELECTION OF FIBCFIBC TYPESPROCESSSTANDARDS AND CERTIFICATIONSMARKET – INDIA VIS-À-VIS THE WORLDPOTENTIAL MARKETS


PACKAGING SIZES

Small Packages – 1 kg to 50 kgIntermediate Packages – 51 to 250Bulk Packaging - > 250 KgsFull Container w/o without container liner.Packaging medium – transition and scale


Changing Global Scenario

Multifold increase in capacity

Forward and Backward integration – Ready mix concrete

Man power shortage and ease of handling

Cost Effectiveness

Environmental advantage – pollution free

Closed loop operation – no contact with material in process.

Increased Productivity

WHY BULK PACKAGING ?


BASIC QUALITY PARAMETER OF BULK PACKAGING

Aesthetics

Non Toxic / Contamination free

Strength to with stand transportation

Provide Shelf Life

Easy Filling / Discharge Facility

Minimum bulging for better storage planning

Full fill the SAFETY norm as per standard .

Fulfill the required volume storage

Dimension stability and Stackability


KINDS OF MATERIAL TRANSPORTED IN FIBCs

Free flowing powders, granules etc.,


Factors that determine the selection of FIBC

Bulk Density of the product

Dangerous and Non dangerous goods

Flow characteristics of the product

Particle size and shape – lamination, liner sift proof

Compatible with the material used for construction of fibc – pvc chemical reaction


Factors that determine the selection of fibc – contd..

Is it a food contact application

Filling temperature of the product

Method of filling, storage, handling

Number of trips that it is used – single trip, multi trip

Environmental consideration – recycling

Hazardous Material

Indian FIBC in the Global Centrestage

Indian FIBC Industry is the third largest producer in the worldIndian producers are supplying to virtually every country across the globeWhile the primary mode of selling overseas is through resellers, direct supply to end users is increasing.Indian companies are now participating in worldwide bids for supply across continents.


Potential MarketsAs Jumbo bags gains prominence in the existing markets in India, there is a lot of effort already being made to penetrate new markets which have huge potential in the future. High Potential Markets

Cement: Infrastructure is growing at a phenomenal rate in India and Cement being the basic raw material offers a huge potential as more and more manufacturers start to adapt bulk transportation that will facilitate cost savings, practical advantages as a result of lesser unit cost of packing and substantial reduction in wastage.

Food: Several food and related products are being packed and transported in Jumbo Bags. These include Organic and Regular Rice exported in Jumbo Bags. Other significant developments are Sugar, Cashew, Coffee, Gelatin, which are also exported in Jumbo Bags, and has potential to reach huge volumes.

Alumina: The Country is today producing surplus alumina, which is being exported. This trend is likely to continue with the establishment of green field export oriented alumina refineries.

What Should the Customer Look For

Quality – Good and not so good …Delivery ServiceInfrastructure – Quality systems and test facilities ?Price – While Price is always an important factor, customer should be conscious about his choice of supplier and his ability to meet the safety standards.


CHALLENGES OF INDIAN FIBC INDUSTRY

InfrastructurePort and other facilities to handle inbound and out bound cargoInternal transportation more road dependent, poor rail cargo facilities

PowerSevere shortage in most of the states

LabourDevelopment in all areas increasing demand for labour and labour shortage

FinanceCost of finance @ 10-12%
