Premium Quality FIBCs at Unbeatable Prices
Access California's largest inventory of new and used bulk bags. With over 100,000 bags in stock, rigorous quality inspections, and savings up to 70% on used bags, Bulk Bags California is your trusted source for all FIBC needs. Serving agriculture, construction, food processing, chemical, and mining industries across the Western United States.
Used Bulk Bags
Save 50-70% compared to new bag prices without sacrificing quality. Every used bag undergoes our rigorous 12-point inspection process before being graded and added to inventory.
Grade A - Premium Quality
Our Grade A bulk bags are the cream of the crop - bags that have been used only once or twice and are virtually indistinguishable from new. These bags have minimal to no visible wear, no stains or discoloration, and all components (lift loops, spouts, panels) are in excellent condition. Perfect for businesses that need reliable quality at significant savings.
- Like-new condition
- Minimal visible wear
- No stains or contamination
- All loops intact and strong
- Clean and ready to use
- 60-70% savings vs new
- Ideal for food-adjacent uses
- Full load capacity retained
Agriculture (seed, grain, feed), food processing support, pharmaceutical support, premium chemical applications, and any business prioritizing appearance and reliability.
Grade B - Standard Quality
Grade B bags represent our best value proposition - quality bags with moderate use that still have plenty of life left. These bags may show some signs of previous use such as light staining, minor fading, or small repairs, but all structural components remain fully functional and safe. An excellent choice for industrial applications where appearance is secondary to performance.
- Good working condition
- Light staining acceptable
- Minor repairs possible
- Structurally sound
- Full weight capacity
- 70-80% savings vs new
- Great value choice
- High availability
Construction (sand, gravel, aggregate), landscaping, mining operations, waste management, general industrial storage, and applications where function matters more than appearance.
Grade C - Economy Option
Our Grade C bags offer maximum savings for applications where appearance and pristine condition are not priorities. These bags have been well-used and may show significant wear including heavier staining, fading, multiple repairs, or cosmetic damage. However, all Grade C bags have been inspected to ensure they remain structurally safe for their rated capacity. The most budget-friendly option available.
- Maximum cost savings
- Heavier wear acceptable
- May have repairs
- Staining/fading common
- Still structurally safe
- 80-90% savings vs new
- Bulk quantities available
- Single-use applications
Debris removal, one-time use applications, temporary storage, flood control (sandbags), construction site cleanup, and budget-conscious projects where bags will be discarded.

Buying FAQs
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about purchasing bulk bags
What's the difference between Grade A, B, and C bags?
Grade A bags are like-new with minimal wear and no stains - perfect for most applications. Grade B bags show moderate use with light staining but remain fully functional - great value for industrial use. Grade C bags have heavier wear but are structurally sound - maximum savings for single-use applications. All grades are inspected for safety.
Are used bulk bags safe for food products?
We offer Grade A used bags suitable for food-adjacent applications (non-direct contact). For direct food contact, we recommend our new food-grade bags which are FDA compliant and come with full documentation. Always specify your exact application when ordering so we can recommend the appropriate product.
What is your minimum order quantity?
We have no strict minimum order requirement. However, we recommend ordering at least 25-50 bags to maximize value with our volume discounts. For smaller quantities, pickup from our Belmont facility may be more economical than delivery. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
How quickly can you deliver?
Standard delivery within California is 3-5 business days. Rush delivery (48-72 hours) is available for an additional fee. For Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon, standard delivery is 5-7 business days. We also offer same-day pickup from our Belmont, CA facility for in-stock items.
Do you offer samples before ordering?
Yes, we can provide samples of different grades and types so you can evaluate quality before placing a large order. Sample fees apply but are typically credited toward your first order of 50+ bags. Contact us to request samples.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, ACH bank transfers, wire transfers, and company checks. For qualified businesses, we offer Net 15 and Net 30 payment terms. First-time customers may need to prepay until credit is established.
Can I return bags if they don't meet my needs?
If bags don't match the grade or specifications described, we'll replace them or provide a refund. Returns of correctly-graded bags may be subject to a restocking fee. Please inspect your shipment within 48 hours of delivery and report any issues immediately.
Do you offer bulk bag liners separately?
Yes, we sell PE liners (polyethylene liners) separately in various thicknesses (2-6 mil) for use with unlined bags. We also offer bags with factory-installed liners if you prefer an integrated solution. Liner options include form-fit, loose, tabbed, and glued styles.
Can you custom print our company logo on bags?
Yes, custom printing is available on new bags with minimum order quantities (typically 500+ bags). Options include 1-4 color printing with company logos, handling instructions, and product information. Lead time for custom printed bags is 4-8 weeks.
What is the safety factor, and why does it matter?
The safety factor (SF) indicates the bag's maximum capacity vs. its breaking strength. A 5:1 SF bag rated for 2000 lbs can withstand 10,000 lbs before failure. Standard bags have 5:1 SF for single use; 6:1 SF bags are designed for multiple reuse. Always match the SF to your application.
