Big Bags for Sugar
Food-grade big bags for granulated and icing sugar: moisture-barrier liners, dust-proof seam option, manufactured in a BRC IoP AA certified facility in Turkey.
Sugar attracts moisture: it absorbs humidity from the air, cakes and loses its flowability. Icing sugar and fine granulated sugar can also sift through the seams.
A big bag for sugar therefore has to deal with two risks together: moisture and dust leakage.
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 sugar
- Moisture: Sugar can cake in a big bag without a liner; a moisture-barrier liner is recommended.
- Dust leakage: For icing sugar, coated fabric, dust-proof seams or a liner are preferred.
- Discharge: The discharge spout is sized to your discharge station so that the sugar flows in a controlled way.
- Stacking: Where warehouse space is limited, a form-stable Q-Bag takes up 20-30% less space than a standard big bag.
