One of the issues companies have encountered when attaching plastic channels to the bottom of a bulk bag is a loss of stability when stacking and collapsing of the channels. To keep the cost of the channels low, suppliers make them as light as possible. To support the channels and improve the base for stacking, AmeriGlobe developed a way to allow the bag to come down between the channels in a controlled way. This greatly increases the surface area of the bottom of the bulk bag and takes 60% of the product weight off of the channels.
