Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9216438A1] A flexible intermediate bulk container is produced by cutting down from a top edge (11) and across the width of a tubular base panel (10) so that at least 25 % of base panel material terminates at cut edges (22) of two apertures (12) and only the remainder continues into opposing portions (30) which are joined at their top edges (11) to provide a lifting handle (31). A top closure panel (40) is secured across the top of the load carrying portion of the container, between the cut edges (22), and below the handle (31). The resultant container has a well defined aperture for lifting purposes and, when filled and stored out in the open, good stability in high winds. Material terminating at the cut edges (22) may be cut away completely, as shown, or may remain as flaps which are incorporated into the handle (31).
