What Info Is Needed To Quote New Bulk Bags?

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 2,000
🚚 Save BIG on Truckload orders!

If you want a quote on new bulk bags that’s actually accurate (and doesn’t turn into 12 back-and-forth emails), you need to give the supplier enough information to price the right bag.

Because “new bulk bags” is like saying “need a vehicle.”

Okay… a Honda Civic and a semi truck are both vehicles — but if you order the wrong one, you’re going to feel that mistake immediately.

Same with bulk bags.

So below is the exact information needed to quote new bulk bags, broken into:

• must-have info (quote can’t be accurate without it),

• strongly recommended info (prevents surprises),

• and nice-to-have info (fine-tuning, optimization).

And yes — if you’re quoting through CPP, providing this info upfront is how you get a fast quote with minimal friction (MOQ for new bulk bags is 2,000).

The Must-Have Info (Required for a Real Quote)

These are the non-negotiables. Without these, the quote is guesswork.

1) Quantity

For new bulk bags, quantity drives everything:

• unit price tiers

• production schedule

• freight strategy

At CPP, the new bulk bag MOQ is 2,000, so quoting starts there.

Provide:

• total quantity needed

• whether it’s one-time or recurring (monthly/quarterly)

2) Product / Material Being Filled

This is the “spec driver.”

The product determines:

• coated vs uncoated fabric

• need for liners

• dust control needs

• contamination sensitivity

• venting needs

• discharge behavior

Examples:

• plastic resin/pellets

• sand/aggregate

• powders (cement, flour-like materials)

• animal feed

• chemicals

• scrap/recycling

If you can, include:

• “dusty or not dusty”

• “moisture sensitive or not”

• “food-contact required or not”

3) Target Fill Weight Per Bag

Suppliers quote a bag that can safely carry your target load.

Provide:

• pounds per bag (or kg)

• whether the weight is fixed or variable

• any safety margin you want

4) Bag Dimensions (or Desired Capacity)

You can quote by:

• exact dimensions (L x W x H), or

• target capacity (how much product volume)

Most common footprints:

• 35”x35”

• 36”x36”

• 42”x42”

Height varies.

If you don’t know dimensions, give:

• product type + fill weight + density description
  and CPP can recommend a standard size.

5) Top Style

This affects price and usability.

Choose one:

• Open top

• Duffle top

• Fill spout

If fill spout, include:

• spout diameter

• spout length

• any closure preference (tie, etc.)

6) Bottom Style

Choose one:

• Flat bottom

• Discharge spout

If discharge spout, include:

• spout diameter

• spout length

• iris closure / flap / tie-off preference (if applicable)

7) Ship-To Zip Code + Delivery Requirements

Freight matters a lot on bulk bags.

Provide:

• ship-to zip code

• dock or liftgate

• business hours / appointment requirements

• limited access constraints (if any)

If you skip this, you’ll get a quote that’s incomplete or unrealistic on delivered cost.

Strongly Recommended Info (Prevents Surprises)

This is where quotes go from “technically priced” to “actually correct.”

8) SWL (Safe Working Load) Preference (If you know it)

If you don’t know SWL, tell CPP your fill weight and handling method.

Common SWLs:

• 2,000 lb

• 2,200 lb (1 metric ton)

• 3,000 lb

9) Safety Factor Requirement

Often 5:1, sometimes other requirements depending on application.
If you don’t specify, the supplier may assume a default.

10) Coated vs Uncoated Preference

If your product is fine/dusty, coated may be recommended.
If product is pellets or chunkier, uncoated may be fine.

If you’re not sure, say:

• “product is dusty” or “not dusty”
  and CPP can recommend.

11) Liner Requirements (If any)

If you need liners, you need to specify:

• liner type (form-fit, loose, etc.)

• thickness (mil)

• material compatibility

• liner tabs needed or not

If you don’t need liners but want liner-ready bags, mention it.

12) Bag Type (Standard vs Baffle vs Vented)

• Standard: general use

• Baffle/Q-bags: better cube efficiency, square shape

• Vented: airflow for produce/firewood type materials

If you need a Q-bag and don’t mention it, the quote will be off.

13) Printing / Branding Requirements

If you need:

• logo

• warnings

• labeling

• custom print panels

You must specify:

• number of colors

• print sides

• art readiness

Printing can affect MOQ, lead time, and price.

14) Grade/Compliance Requirements (If relevant)

If your operation has compliance needs (food-contact, pharma, etc.), you need to state it.
Otherwise you may get a “standard industrial” quote that doesn’t match your compliance expectations.

Nice-to-Have Info (Optimizes the Quote)

These details aren’t always required, but they help CPP dial in the best bag and lowest total cost.

15) Handling Method

Tell them how you lift/handle:

• forklift with bag lifter

• overhead crane

• bag frame

• how many lifts per bag

This can influence loop configuration and durability.

16) Stacking and Storage Requirements

Are you stacking:

• 1 high, 2 high, 3 high?

Do you store outdoors or indoors?
Do you rack them?

This can influence bag construction recommendations.

17) Discharge/Fill Process Details

Do you need:

• dust-tight filling?

• clean discharge?

• controlled flow?

• specific tie-off requirements?

The more you share, the more the bag can be matched to your process.

18) Timeline

When do you need them?
Is this urgent or scheduled?

Lead time depends on:

• spec complexity

• volume

• production slot availability

• freight

19) Frequency (One-Time vs Repeat Program)

If you’re buying every month/quarter, CPP can structure a program that stabilizes:

• pricing

• lead time

• supply availability

20) Budget Targets (Optional)

If you give a target budget, CPP can recommend:

• standardizing specs

• choosing the most cost-effective construction

• optimizing freight via truckload timing

The “Perfect” Quote Request Template (Copy/Paste)

If you want to request a quote with zero friction, send this:

“Quote request — New Bulk Bags (MOQ 2,000). Product: ____. Fill weight per bag: ____ lbs. Bag size: ____ (LxWxH) or recommend based on product/weight. Top style: ____. Bottom style: ____.
