Rigid Intermediate Bulk Container Packaging Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2026

Rigid intermediate bulk container, also known as pallet tank is a reusable industrial container modelled for the storage and transport of granulated substances or bulk liquids including chemicals, solvents, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals etc. These containers are mainly designed to be moved using a pallet jack or a forklift and are mostly cubical in shape. Rigid intermediate bulk containers are mounted on a pallet in a stack and thus are called stackable containers. Rigid intermediate bulk containers are covered by a rigid case, mostly made of galvanized iron or steel, to ensure safety and durability, hence the name. Moreover, when compared to cylindrical-shaped containers, rigid intermediate bulk containers can transport supplementary materials in the similar footprint being cubical in shape and have a durable lifespan of more than 20 years. Rigid intermediate bulk containers are made of various materials including plastic, fiberboard, wood, metal etc. Furthermore, most of the rigid intermediate bulk containers possess a built-in faucet/tap at the base of the container through which the liquid content can be withdrawn into smaller containers by attaching hoses/pipes. Rigid intermediate bulk containers are used to ship and store commodities and raw materials, bulk chemicals and hazardous materials, petrochemical products, food syrups etc.
