How Tiger Bitumen’s confirmed 1 Metric Ton steel caged bitumen bag is packaged, palletised, handled and loaded for international shipment.
PP Woven Bag in Steel Cage
Bitumen Bags supplies bagged bitumen in a single confirmed format: a 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) PP Woven Bag in Steel Cage.
This type of packaging is sometimes referred to in the industry as a jumbo bag or FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk container). Bitumen Bags’ version is specifically this PP woven bag housed in a steel cage not a standalone flexible bag.
The 1 MT bag consists of two confirmed components: a woven polypropylene (PP) outer bag, and the steel cage that houses it. The cage provides structural support for handling and transport of the full 1,000 kg load.
Beyond these two confirmed elements, further construction detail such as cage dimensions or bag liner specification can be confirmed with the export team if your order requires it.
Bags are placed on pallets during container loading. This is standard practice for every Bitumen Bags shipment.
Exact pallet arrangement and load configuration how bags are arranged per pallet, and how pallets are arranged within a container depend on your order and destination, and are confirmed with the logistics team as part of preparing your shipment.
The steel caged 1 MT bag is typically handled using forklifts or cranes, consistent with standard warehouse and site equipment capable of moving a 1 Metric Ton load.
Handling should follow your own site’s safety procedures, alongside any guidance the export team provides for your order.
Store the 1 MT bag under cover, protected from direct weather exposure, excessive heat and contamination standard practice for packaged industrial materials.
Storage needs can vary by grade and local climate. The export team can advise on storage guidance for your specific order ahead of arrival.
Container loading is part of Tiger Bitumen’s export preparation process: product is inspected, packaging is verified, and palletised bags are loaded and moved to port ahead of the confirmed shipping schedule.
Bagged bitumen ships internationally by container/sea freight where applicable, under terms such as FOB, CFR or CIF depending on your preferred logistics arrangement.
Export documentation typically includes a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and Certificate of Analysis, with an SGS inspection report where required.
Transit time depends on shipping route, destination country, vessel schedule, weather and port conditions.
Packaging and loading requirements can vary by destination port, local unloading infrastructure, and your own site’s receiving and handling capability. What suits one buyer’s setup may not suit another’s.
Since the minimum order quantity is 1 Metric Ton, confirm your receiving facility can handle at least one full 1 MT bag before placing an order. Beyond that, confirm your destination’s specific requirements port, local handling equipment, and any import documentation your side needs with the export team as part of placing your order.
