The 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bag is a compact-footprint, tall-profile FIBC made for operations that need bulk-bag capacity, but don’t have the floor space (or pallet pattern) for bigger bases like 35×35 or 40×40. This size is all about fitting tighter layouts while still giving you meaningful vertical volume.

If your facility runs narrow lanes, smaller pallets/skids, or constrained staging zones, 27.5×27.5×55 is a clean solution.

What a 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bag actually means

A 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bag measures:

27.5 inches wide
27.5 inches deep
55 inches tall

This is a smaller base with a tall wall height, which means:

good capacity for light-to-medium density products
efficient use of tight floor space
more height sensitivity (construction and handling matter)

This is often chosen when buyers want a “bulk bag” format but in a tighter footprint.

Why buyers choose 27.5×27.5×55

1) Your footprint has to be compact

Some facilities are locked into small pallet patterns, tight staging, or narrow flow paths. This bag fits where bigger bases don’t.

2) You still need tall-bag capacity

At 55″ tall, you get real volume—especially for lighter products.

3) You want more units per area

Smaller footprint can improve staging density or allow more flexibility in warehouse layout.

4) You’re matching equipment constraints

Certain hoppers, bag stands, and fill frames are built around smaller footprints.

Clearance + stability check (important with a small base)

A 27.5″ base at 55″ height means this is a more “vertical” bag than the 35×35 or 40×40 family.

Before standardizing it, confirm:

forklift handling behavior (sway control)
staging and turn radius in tight lanes
stacking plan (usually single stack or controlled stacking)
whether you need better shape control (baffles / 4-panel)

This size is totally workable — it just rewards the right build.

Typical capacity behavior for a 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bag

Capacity depends on density and construction, but this size is commonly used when:

products are volume-limited
space is constrained
operations need a bulk format without a large footprint

This is a tight-space volume solution.

Common industries using 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bags

You’ll often see this footprint in:

specialty chemicals
additives and concentrates
food ingredients (non-hazardous)
seed and agricultural inputs
manufacturing components

Anywhere space is limited but bulk handling still makes sense.

Construction options (matters more with a small base)

U-Panel

Cost-effective
Strong general-purpose option
May bulge more at tall heights

4-Panel

Better edge definition
Cleaner stacking
Often preferred for compact footprint tall bags

Circular

Economical at scale
Shape depends heavily on fill discipline

Baffle (highly recommended if stacking matters)

Maintains square profile
Reduces bulging
Improves stability and pallet appearance

With a smaller base, baffles often make the bag behave like a bigger footprint size.

Coated vs uncoated fabric

Uncoated fabric

Breathable
Lower cost
Works for many general products

Coated fabric

Improved sift control
Better moisture resistance
Cleaner warehouse environment

If your product is fine, dusty, or sensitive, coated fabric is a common upgrade.

Top options (how you fill)

Duffle top

Fast filling
Flexible access
Common for manual operations

Spout top

Controlled fill
Cleaner operation
Preferred for automated or dust-sensitive processes

Open top

Simple
Often paired with liners or covers

For compact/tall bags, controlled filling helps stability—spout tops are often the cleanest option.

Bottom options (how you discharge)

Spout bottom

Controlled discharge
Clean flow
Ideal for powders and granules

Flat bottom

Used when dumping or external discharge systems are in place

Closed bottom

Used in specialized workflows

Liner options (often used in smaller footprints)

Liners are common when:

moisture barrier is required
contamination control matters
fine powders need extra containment

Common liner types:

tabbed liners
form-fit liners
PE liners in various mil thicknesses

New vs used 27.5×27.5×55 bulk bags

Used / reconditioned bulk bags

A good option when:

product is non-hazardous
cost savings matter
cosmetic variation is acceptable

New bulk bags

Preferred when:

specifications must be consistent
product sensitivity is higher
repeatability matters long-term

CPP can quote both depending on availability and requirements.

If you’re deciding between footprints:

31x31x24 Bulk Bag (shorter, more stable)
35x35x55 Bulk Bag (larger footprint, similar height)
27.5×27.5×60 Bulk Bag (taller, more volume if clearance allows)

The right choice depends on space, stability, and volume needs.

FAQ: 27.5×27.5×55 Bulk Bag

Is this a tight-footprint bulk bag?
Yes — it’s designed for smaller staging and pallet footprints.

Is baffle construction worth it?
Often yes, especially if stacking or shape control matters with the smaller base.

Do I need coated fabric?
Recommended for fine or dusty materials; optional for many granules.

Can liners be used?
Yes — liners are common with this size depending on product requirements.
