• Form-fit FIBC Liners – As the name suggests, these liners work by taking the exact shape of the FIBC. They are made of polyethylene and the fact that they can adjust themselves to the exact shape of the FIBC, including of the spouts, provides easier filling and discharging of the product they are carrying.

Despite the fact that they don’t have discharge outlets, they are a popular design for FIBCs. One end of these containers may sometimes be heat sealed.
