A recent development in pallet‐less handling systems is the introduction of the Replas Slipsheeted Bulk Bag. This innovative new product has a high‐quality Replas slipsheet attached to a premium grade bulk bag, which allows loads up to 1000 kg to be moved through a distribution chain. This style of packaging suits mechanised loading and unloading systems handling bulk products such as milk powders, flour, grains, minerals and rice.
