(57) A container bag (10) comprises a body of flexible material and lifting loops characterised
in that four lifting loops are provided in two pairs (22, 24), each pair of lifting
loops (22, 24) being loosely held together and each loop extending from near to a
corner on one face to adjacent the far corner on the adjacent face. In this manner
the IBC can be lifted by a fork lift truck and also, by grasping the the two pairs
(22, 24) and pulling them together on a hook or the like, the IBC can be lifted easily
from a single point.
