Bulk Bag Lead Times

The majority of all FIBCs utilized in United States are imported from other countries. India and China produce over 70% of the FIBCs imported into the U.S. each year.

In general, imported bulk bags are substantially less expensive than domestically produced bags. However, manufacturing lead time, or the time it takes from the moment an order is placed to the time it delivers, can be substantial.

Lead times on bulk bags vary based on a number of different factors. These factors include:

  • Country of Manufacture
  • Raw Materials
  • Bag Type
  • Plant Capacity
  • Ocean Transit Type
  • U.S. Customs
  • Rail Transit Time
  • Over-the-road Transit Time
