Memphis has one of the nation’s largest logistics concentrations, with over 119,000 supply-chain jobs across 3,600 firms and 53,000 warehouse roles, expected to grow another 6% by 2034.
Most goods reaching 85% of U.S. consumers within 1–2 days pass through Memphis. These dynamics make fast, cost-efficient bulk packaging critical.
Why Used Bulk Bags Are a Smart Fit
- Speed & Availability: Pre-inspected and ready to palletize — no import lag.
- Cost Savings: Save 30–40% vs. new FIBCs, which is powerful when margins are tight in logistics.
- Sustainability: Reusing high-quality bags helps companies meet ESG goals in the environmentally aware Mid-South.
Typical Use Cases
- Inland Port Staging: Containers arriving from the Port of New Orleans or via rail get re-packed into standard-size duffle or spout-top used bulk bags for internal transport.
- Cross-Dock & Redistribution: Bulk powders or pellets offloaded and re-stacked onto pallets with used bulk bags improve forklift efficiency and warehouse flow.
- Warehouse Overflow: During seasonal peaks (e.g., Q4), excess inventory stored in pre-staged used FIBCs to speed time-to-shelf.
