Duffle Top / Discharge Spout Bottom FIBC Bags
A hybrid bulk bag combining wide-access top filling with a controlled bottom discharge spout - for operations where fill flexibility and discharge precision are both required.
FIBC Bulk Bags
Spout Top / Spout Bottom FIBC Bags
Spout top spout bottom FIBC bags are engineered for operations where controlled filling and controlled discharge are both process requirements - not just preferences. The top spout guides material in cleanly. The bottom spout controls how and where it comes out. For fine powders, chemical compounds, food ingredients, and resin pellets, this configuration removes the containment risks that an open-base format would leave unresolved.
Product Overview
About this bag configuration.
The spout top / spout bottom FIBC has a fabric spout sewn into the top for guided, contained filling and a fabric discharge spout at the bottom for measured, controlled emptying. Both spouts are tied or cinched closed when not in use. This configuration is most commonly selected when the material is fine, sensitive to contamination, or part of a production process where discharge rate, containment, or process cleanliness matters. Available in coated or uncoated body, with optional liner configurations, anti-sift construction, and print options depending on application requirements.
Typical Applications
Common uses for this bag format.
- Fine powders requiring controlled discharge - chemical compounds, mineral fillers, and specialty additives where discharge rate and containment matter
- Food ingredient production workflows - dry ingredients that need cleaner transfer between filling and processing stations
- Resin and pellet handling lines - where controlled emptying into downstream equipment is a plant requirement
- Dust-sensitive operations - environments where airborne material during filling or discharge creates a safety or quality concern
- Chemical blending and distribution - applications where the bag must interface cleanly with both the filling station and the customer's unloading equipment

Why This Format
Why choose this bag style.
The spout top spout bottom format exists because some applications demand more than a simple fill-and-tip workflow. When the material is a fine powder, a food ingredient, a chemical compound, or a resin pellet that cannot be exposed during transfer - the open top approach introduces unacceptable risk. The top spout guides fill and keeps material contained during loading. The bottom spout controls discharge rate and keeps the material stream clean when the bag is being emptied into downstream equipment. For operations where yield, contamination control, or consistent process flow is a business requirement, this configuration removes the variables that an open-base bag would leave unresolved.

Product FAQ
Questions that come up during specification review.
What is a spout top spout bottom FIBC bag?
A spout top spout bottom FIBC has a fabric tube at the top for guided, controlled filling and a fabric tube at the bottom for controlled discharge. Both spouts are tied closed when not in use. This configuration is used when both the fill and discharge processes require containment - common in chemical, food ingredient, and resin applications.
How does the bottom discharge spout work?
The bottom discharge spout is a fabric tube sewn into the base of the bag. It is tied closed during filling, transport, and storage. When the bag is ready to be emptied, the tie is released and the material flows out through the spout. Spout diameter and length are confirmed at specification review based on downstream equipment requirements.
When is a spout top spout bottom bag the better choice over an open top?
The spout top spout bottom format makes sense when controlled discharge is a process requirement - not just a preference. If your material is fine, sensitive to contamination, or part of a production workflow where discharge rate or containment matters, the spout-based configuration removes variables that an open-base approach would leave unresolved.
What is anti-sift construction and when is it needed?
Anti-sift construction refers to seam and stitch configurations that reduce or prevent fine material from escaping through the fabric weave or seam intersections. It is typically specified for very fine powders, chemical compounds, or materials with small particle sizes where leakage through standard construction is a concern. Available on request - confirmed at specification review.
Do you offer liner options?
Liner options can be discussed during the RFQ process when the application, material characteristics, and handling requirements call for additional containment or barrier support.
