FIBC super sacks, multi-wall paper sacks and poly bags for grain handling, fertilizer distribution, seed storage, and animal feed — direct from Ontario stock.
Request a quotePackaging for Canadian Agriculture
Agricultural operations across Canada require packaging that handles variable bulk densities, outdoor staging, forklift and gravity-fed discharge, and seasonal stocking cycles. Wholesale Packaging supplies FIBC bulk bags (super sacks), multi-wall kraft paper sacks, and polyethylene bags to grain terminals, fertilizer blenders, seed processors, feed mills, and crop input distributors from our Ontario inventory hub.
Whether you're moving granular ammonium nitrate, bagging canola or wheat for export, or packing 25 kg retail-ready seed bags, our direct-supply model keeps lead times short and unit costs competitive for Canadian buyers.

FIBC Bulk Bags (Super Sacks)
The workhorse of bulk agricultural logistics. Standard U-panel and four-panel FIBCs in 500–2,200 kg SWL handle grain, fertilizer granules, seed and feed with consistent fill and stable stacking. Discharge spout or full-bottom options suit most pneumatic and gravity unloading set-ups.
- SWL range: 500 kg – 2,200 kg (confirm per order)
- Construction: U-panel, four-panel, circular/tubular
- Top: open top, duffle top, fill spout
- Bottom: flat bottom, discharge spout, conical discharge
- Liner options: PE film liner for moisture-sensitive product
- Loops: four-loop standard; single-loop available
Multi-Wall Paper Sacks
For retail-weight agricultural products — seed, fertilizer blends, soil amendments, animal feed — multi-wall kraft paper sacks deliver the printability, stacking strength, and barrier properties procurement teams need. Available in PVSE, SOM, and PBOM constructions.
- Typical fill weights: 10 kg – 50 kg
- Constructions: pinch-bottom open mouth (PBOM), sewn open mouth (SOM), pasted valve (PVSE)
- Plies: 2–4 layers depending on moisture and puncture requirements
- Printing: custom flexographic printing available (ask for lead times)
Poly & Valve Bags
Polyethylene form-fill-seal (FFS) rolls and PE valve bags for automated packing lines handling granular or free-flowing agricultural inputs. Suited to operations where throughput speed, sealing consistency, and moisture resistance are the primary criteria.
- FFS rolls: tubular and flat film for vertical VFFS and horizontal machines
- PE valve bags: fill weights 10–50 kg
- Gauge: specify by product density and fill requirements
Common Agricultural Packaging Requirements
| Product / Commodity | Typical Package | SWL / Fill Weight | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granular fertilizer (urea, ammonium sulphate) | FIBC U-panel or four-panel | 1,000–1,500 kg | UV-stabilized fabric; moisture-resistant liner |
| Potash, muriate of potash (MOP) | FIBC four-panel | 1,000–2,000 kg | Discharge spout; 5:1 or 6:1 SF |
| Canola, wheat, oat, barley (bulk export) | FIBC circular or tubular | 1,000–1,500 kg | Food-contact liner where required; fill spout top |
| Seed (treated or untreated) | FIBC or multi-wall paper sack | 500–1,000 kg / 25–50 kg | PE liner; print on bag for product ID |
| Animal feed (pellets, meal) | Multi-wall paper sack or FIBC | 20–40 kg / 500–1,000 kg | Food-safe ink printing; moisture barrier ply |
| Soil amendments, peat, compost | FIBC or poly bag | 500–1,000 kg / 25–50 kg | UV-stabilized FIBC for outdoor staging |
SWL and safety factor requirements depend on lifting method, stacking height, and storage conditions. Confirm specifications when requesting a quote.
Purchasing Considerations for Agriculture Operations
Seasonal volumes and stocking
Fertilizer and crop input demand spikes sharply at seeding and harvest. Our Ontario inventory program and managed blanket PO options let you lock in pricing and allocation ahead of peak season, with scheduled releases rather than one large order. Ask about our managed program for year-round supply continuity.
Bulk density and fill factor
Agricultural commodities vary widely in bulk density — from 350 kg/m³ (peat moss) to over 1,000 kg/m³ (potash). A bag sized only by SWL may overfill or underfill volumetrically. Provide bulk density and target fill weight when requesting a quote so we can confirm the right bag dimensions.
Liner selection
Moisture pick-up is the primary risk for granular fertilizers and seed. Full PE film liners heat-sealed at the spout prevent caking. For grain where aeration is preferred, an unlined FIBC with a permeable weave may suit. Specify your storage and transit conditions when ordering.
Discharge method compatibility
Gravity spout, pneumatic conveying, auger, or manual dump? Each discharge method requires a different bottom configuration and spout size. Conical or Q-bag styles improve discharge for fine powders and granules. Confirm your unloading equipment before specifying bottom type.
Frequently Asked Questions — Agriculture
Can FIBC bulk bags be used for treated seed?
Yas. For treated seed, the primary concern is chemical compatibility between the treatment and the polypropylene fabric and any PE liner. Provide the treatment chemical name and concentration when requesting a quote so we can confirm material compatibility. If seed will be re-sold by weight in the bag, confirm whether your provincial seed regulations require specific labelling on the outer fabric.
Are your FIBCs suitable for ammonium nitrate fertilizer?
FIBC suitability for ammonium nitrate (AN) depends on the AN content, formulation (technical grade vs. fertilizer grade), and applicable handling regulations. In Canada, high-concentration AN falls under Transport Canada and Natural Resources Canada requirements. We can supply standard FIBCs for fertilizer-grade AN blends; however, confirm the exact product specification, concentration, and regulatory classification with your safety team before ordering. We do not make blanket compliance claims for specific hazardous goods classifications.
What UV protection do your FIBCs offer for outdoor staging?
Our standard FIBCs are produced with UV stabilizers suitable for short-term outdoor exposure. For extended outdoor storage (weeks to months), specify UV-stabilized bags with a minimum 500 hours UV resistance rating and consider a UV-resistant cover. Confirm expected outdoor dwell time when ordering.
Can you supply bags with custom printing for product identification?
Yas. FIBC fabric can be printed with product name, handling instructions, weight, and company branding. Multi-wall paper sacks are printed via flexographic process with multiple colours. Minimum order quantities and lead times for printed bags differ from standard stock items — request a separate quote specifying your artwork requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity for agricultural FIBCs?
Minimum order quantities depend on specification. Standard stock FIBCs are available in smaller quantities from Ontario inventory. Custom sizes, printed bags, or specialist configurations typically require higher MOQs and longer lead times. Contact us with your specification for a quote and availability confirmation.
