A Flexitank is a large, flexible, single-use container designed to transport bulk liquids inside standard shipping containers, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional tank containers or drums.
Flexitanks are used to safely carry non-hazardous liquids like food-grade oils, chemicals, and beverages in bulk, maximizing cargo capacity in a 20-foot container. They help businesses reduce packaging waste, lower shipping costs, and simplify the handling of liquid goods. In 3PL logistics and warehousing, Flexitanks streamline liquid transport operations by allowing efficient loading, unloading, and storage.
Flexitanks work by fitting inside a standard 20-foot container, turning it into a bulk liquid carrier capable of holding up to 24,000 liters. By using Flexitanks, your business can save on packaging, reduce transportation costs, and minimize product loss. It’s ideal for food-grade and non-hazardous liquid shipments, offering faster loading and unloading. Plus, it reduces cleaning and return costs compared to traditional tank containers.

Flexitanks are important because they increase shipping efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize contamination risks when transporting bulk liquids globally. For 3PL providers, using Flexitanks adds value by offering clients a reliable and scalable solution for liquid transportation, enhancing service offerings in competitive supply chains.
For example, a top 3PL company can help a food-grade oil supplier ship large volumes of product overseas using Flexitanks, reducing the need for drums or IBCs and maximizing container space while ensuring product safety.
