Requirements related to the packaging of dangerous goods are strictly regulated. A framework has been set by the UN Subcommittee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods to protect the safety of people, the natural environment and properties.
Paktainer offers BIG BAGS constructed to meet all obligatory UN regulations.
We are able to design client specific UN BIG BAGS in terms of working loads, dimensions and other factors. Please contact our sales team if you need more information about Paktainer UN BIG BAGS.
Every FIBC for dangerous goods needs to be marked in a specific, visible and permanent manner. Please see the example below.

- Top lift tests
- Stacking test
- Drop test
- Topple test
- Righting test
- Tear test
