FIBC Bulk Bags
Skirt Top / Flat Bottom FIBC Bags
Skirt top flat bottom FIBC bags add a covered top profile to a standard flat-bottom bulk bag. This format is often chosen when the operation wants a cleaner closed-top appearance or extra top protection, but does not need the guided fill hardware of a spout top.
Product Overview
About this bag configuration.
The skirt top / flat bottom configuration uses a skirted top closure above the bag body and a flat sewn base. It preserves pallet stability and straightforward handling while providing a covered top format for transport, storage, or customer presentation. This makes it useful for agriculture, recycling, landscaping, and general industrial materials where top protection is helpful but a top spout is unnecessary.
Typical Applications
Common uses for this bag format.
- Agricultural commodities needing top coverage during storage or transport
- Recycling materials where the top should be covered after filling
- Landscaping materials such as mulch or soil-related products
- General industrial bulk products with a preference for covered-top presentation

Why This Format
Why choose this bag style.
Choose skirt top / flat bottom when a simple covered top is enough. It gives the bag a neater closed-top profile than a plain open top and can support cleaner storage or transport conditions without adding the complexity of a fill spout. It is a practical option for broad-use commodity and industrial programs.

Product FAQ
Questions that come up during specification review.
Why choose a skirt top flat bottom FIBC bag?
Skirt top flat bottom bags are used when the buyer wants a covered-top format for storage, transport, or presentation, but does not need the guided filling hardware of a spout top.
What is the difference between a skirt top and a duffle top?
Both provide top coverage, but the duffle top is typically more fill-friendly and tie-oriented, while the skirt top is often selected for simpler covered-top presentation and protection. The right choice depends on fill method and closure preference.
