Agricultural Bags

• Why should you use textile bags for food grains?
  You should use textile bags made of cotton, burlap, or another breathable material because you don’t want to fully seal a bag of corn, rice, or other type of food grain. If you were to package your natural, freshly grown grains in a plastic bag, they could hold onto moisture. With no way for the moisture to dry in the airtight package, the moisture can turn your food bad and grow mold before the consumer can use the food. To protect your food as well as to keep its fresh, natural flavor, you should be using textile bags.
• Why use custom bags for agricultural products such as seeds?
  It’s important to use cotton or burlap bags for products such as seeds because seeds themselves will naturally grow with any moisture. If you were to package seeds in a plastic bag, which can capture and hold moisture, then your seeds might start to grow, rendering them uneatable and un-sellable to customers and businesses alike. It’s best to pack them in a textile bag to be transported to their next destination.
• Why use textile bags for livestock feed?
  You should use textile bags for agricultural products such as livestock feed because they're simple, large-capacity options to hold all the feed for your livestock. Textile bags are the perfect options for you to physically carry all your livestock feed as you walk around and throw feed to your chickens or fill up pig troughs.

Burlap Bags

• What makes burlap or jute environmentally friendly?
  Burlap, or jute, is made of the skin from a jute plant. Combined with other vegetable and plant fibers, it creates a tough and reliable bag. Since it’s created from plants, it’s biodegradable and very environmentally friendly.

• What is the difference between common and brite burlap bag uses?
  Common burlap is the burlap you see being used on farms and in agricultural industries. This rustic fabric is the primary choice for agricultural bags, and it offers great strength and durability. This is an important feature to have in the agriculture industry because after burlap bags are filled with different products such as beans and nuts, they’re thrown in trucks and piled high as they wait for pickups. Farmers therefore need them to be tough and resilient in these situations. Brite burlap is burlap that has been cleaned up a bit to give it a better aesthetic appeal. It’s a more refined version of the common burlap used in retail packaging situations. Brite burlap bags are the perfect bags for a café to fill with coffee beans to give their storefront a rustic appeal. Additionally, these bags have endless creative uses for companies that like to use them in retail displays to sell rustic clothing and other materials. Brite burlap gives a country, rugged feel.

Geological Bags

• What Are the Benefits of Cloth Sample Bags?
  At Hubco, we understand the benefits of cloth sample bags in the geological and mining industries. When you’re collecting soil, rocks, minerals, and more, it’s absolutely key to have a breathable bag that prevents contamination. Our bags offer great breathability, and they’re the perfect additions to your next excavation or researching trip. We carry economy-grade, Hubco Protexo, Hubco Sentry, Hubco Sentry II, Heavy-Duty Ore Sample Bags, and Hubco Microshield bags to ensure you have the correct bag for even the most specific of jobs. If you need a specific container, we also offer sand sample envelopes and storage cartons to keep your very fine samples safely collected and uncontaminated.
• Why Use Cloth Sample Bags?
  Cloth sample bags are very important in the geological field because they’re made to correctly collect and store soil, sand, minerals, and rock samples for researchers to use at any time without the concern of contaminated items. This is important because when you’re testing samples for any reason, you don’t want foreign substances to enter your sample and give you false results. We provide breathable options that will keep contaminants out of your sample while allowing air to escape. This is very important in cases such as soil samples, because if you seal the air inside, the moist soil can begin to grow mold and bacteria that wasn’t present at the time of collection. With our breathable bags, air can filter in and out and prevent those issues from arising. No matter what samples you’re collecting, the benefits of cloth sample bags are clear—they can effectively protect your research samples, no matter the circumstances.
