What is a Binola jute bag?
A Binola jute bag is a coarse-weave food-grade jute sack used for heavy agricultural commodities, typically up to around 90 kg loosely packed. The standard export specification is 44" × 26.5", about 2.0 lbs, 6×7 porter & shots, with three blue stripes running mouth-to-bottom on both faces, hemmed at the mouth and overhead dry-sewn. It is a lighter, more economical sack than B-Twill: same dimensions, a slightly looser weave and lower weight, which lowers cost per bag for buyers whose commodity does not need the full strength of a B-Twill. We weave Binola bags in our own mill in Bangladesh, so weight, weave, stripes, printing and food-grade treatment are controlled in-house and built to your standard.
Binola vs B-Twill: which sack do you need?
This is the question most buyers are actually asking. The two share the same 44" × 26.5" size; the difference is weave density, weight and load rating.
| Spec | Binola | B-Twill |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | ~2.0 lbs (900–1,100 g) | ~2.25 lbs (~1,020 g) |
| Porter & shots | 6×7 (looser) | 6×8 (tighter twill) |
| Load rating | up to ~90 kg | up to ~100 kg |
| Relative cost | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | Oilseeds, cottonseed, copra, feed, lower-value bulk grain | Coffee, cocoa, sugar, premium grain at full load |
In short: choose Binola when you want the lowest landed cost for a sack that still carries 80–90 kg of oilseed or grain. Choose B-Twill when the commodity is high-value or fills to ~100 kg and needs the tighter twill. A full breakdown including D.W. is in our B-Twill vs Binola vs D.W. guide.
What Binola bags are used for
Binola is the workhorse sack for the oilseed and bulk-commodity trade. Buyers across Europe and the GCC use Zayin's Binola bags for:
- Cottonseed and soybean / oilseeds, the most common Binola use, where the coarse weave breathes and the lower price suits high-volume movement.
- Cocoa beans and cashew nuts, in the food-grade VOT version, where odour-free fabric matters.
- Copra, wheat, rice and cereals, durable 50–90 kg sacks for bulk handling.
- Animal feed and bulk dry goods, where cost per bag is the deciding factor.
