When shipping RBD Coconut Oil in bulk, selecting the right packaging is essential. The right RBD Coconut Oil packaging ensures product quality, reduces shipping costs, and fits your operational needs. Whether you’re a food processor, cosmetics manufacturer, or industrial buyer, understanding your options—drum, flexibag, or IBC—can help you make the most efficient choice.
Steel Drums: Safe and Familiar
Steel drums are widely used for shipping RBD Coconut Oil in manageable volumes, usually around 180–200 kilograms per drum. They’re durable, sealable, and protect against contamination.
For buyers who prefer segmented shipments or need to store oil in separate lots, drums are an ideal solution. They are reusable and acceptable for both sea and inland transportation. However, due to their weight and handling, they come with a slightly higher packaging cost per metric ton.
Flexibags: Maximum Volume, Minimal Waste
Flexibags are large liquid liners placed inside 20-foot containers. Capable of holding up to 24,000 liters of coconut oil, they offer the lowest packaging cost per ton.
This packaging is perfect for high-volume buyers looking to save on freight and material. Flexibags simplify unloading through pumping systems and reduce waste. However, they are single-use, and containers must be clean to avoid product contamination.
IBC Tanks: Practical and Reusable
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) provide a balance between drums and flexibags. Each IBC holds about 1,000 liters and is made from strong, reusable plastic or metal. They are ideal for medium-sized buyers and allow semi-automated discharge systems.
IBCs are more space-efficient than drums and more flexible than flexibags. Their reusability makes them attractive for businesses with sustainability goals or storage limitations.
Which One Should You Choose?
Your best choice depends on order volume, unloading facilities, and cost sensitivity. Drums are best for flexibility and storage control. Flexibags are the top pick for minimizing cost per liter. IBCs suit buyers needing reusable containers and simplified logistics.
If you’re unsure, it’s helpful to consult with a trusted coconut oil exporter who understands your supply chain challenges.
