# Did You Know the Minimum ISO Safety Factor for Bulk Bags is 5:1?

 Posted on, Wed, Nov 23, 2022 @ 10:11 AM

Fact: Bulk bags are so tough 2kgs of properly engineered polymers can safely transport over 2,000 kgs of granular material with ease.

That is, a bulk bag with a 1,000 kg safe working load will not fail in design testing until a minimum of 5,000 kgs of force has been applied.

Imagine if you could jam 5,000 kgs into your half-ton truck before the wheels fail!

In our recent [blog post](https://www.minibulk.com/blog/bid/343576/bulk-bag-economics-104-going-the-distance), we dive into the strength of bulk bags, their weaknesses and how you can get the most out of your bulk packaging.
