| Comment |
GBC Foldable IBC offers many
strong advantages over metal drums, composite IBCs and other
competitors. GBC strong network throughout the world has made
economies of scale possible and customers are enjoy better cost
savings. |
Steel drums are most
conventional way of packaging. However, many companies are
looking for alternatives with bigger capacity, lesser handling
time and lower cost to remain competitive in the market. Metal
drum prices are also highly depending on prevailing steel price |
Composite IBC is
commonly used for dangerous cargo. Cleaning and maintaining
required if IBC to be re-used. High capital outlay and inventory
tracking cost is required to purchase the units. High return
freight cost is occurred as empty IBC is not foldable |
