Big Bags for Cornflakes and Breakfast Cereals
Food-grade big bags for cornflakes and breakfast cereals: moisture-barrier liners, dimensions sized by volume, form-stable Q-Bag option.
Cornflakes and other breakfast cereals are usually moved and stored in big bags between production and packing. The product is light, bulky and fragile, and it loses its crispness when it absorbs moisture.
Three things matter in a big bag for cereals: moisture protection, sizing by volume and handling that does not crush the product.
Configuration options
Every big bag is made to order. Dimensions, capacity and fittings are defined together with you, based on your product and your filling and discharge line.

What to consider for cornflakes
- Moisture: Cereals absorb moisture quickly and soften; a moisture-barrier liner is recommended.
- Volume: The product is light; big bag dimensions are calculated from its volume, not its weight.
- Breakage: A form-stable Q-Bag stacks more evenly and helps reduce crushing of the product during transport.
- Discharge: The discharge spout is sized to your packing line so that the product flows without breaking.
Certificates and documents
