Jumbo Bags: Engineering Sustainability into High-Performance Bulk Handling

The ESG Revolution: How Ethical Manufacturing Reshapes FIBC Capabilities

In an era where 73% of procurement decisions factor ESG performance (Global Sustainability Study 2024), high-performance jumbo bags have become the nexus of industrial utility and ethical manufacturing. At VidePak, we’ve spent 17 years perfecting FIBC solutions that not only withstand 25% higher dynamic loads than ANSI standards but also embody the strictest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. Our 568-strong team, averaging 18 years of packaging engineering experience, operates at the vanguard of sustainable bulk handling, developing jumbo bags that outperform industry benchmarks across 23 critical performance metrics while maintaining 99.3% defect-free production.
