The walls of flexible sheet may have a plurality of loops (6) external to the container and adjacent to the first end. The second end has two parallel guides formed from flexible sheet (7,8) and external to the flexible intermediate bulk container. Preferably, each guide has therein a removable fork guide (9,10) formed from a solid material. The guides and removable fork guides are cooperatively disposed in a spaced apart relationship to accommodate the respective forks of a fork lift. <IMAGE>
