Packaging & Availability

Packaging Information
  • In poly-lined paper bags, each containing 25 Kg of product. The pallet and contents are “stretchwrapped” with poly-ethylene film. Typically, 1,000 Kg (8 rows high by 5 bags per row) are placed upon a 4 -way entry type non-returnable pallet. This “stretch-wrapped” pallet has dimensions of 48” high by 40” wide by 40” deep.
  • In poly-lined woven polypropylene flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC); each containing 1000 Kg of product. Each FIBC is placed upon a non-returnable pallet and the pallet and FIBC are then “stretch-wrapped” with poly-ethylene film.
