The client
Bulkbag Containers is a UK manufacturer of bulk bags (FIBCs), sacks and other heavy industrial sewn products, with a factory in Dundee and origins dating back to 1984. Its range runs from builders merchant bags and filled sand bags to subsea, offshore and UN certified products.
What I did
I built the site at KIN, the studio I co-directed, where I was the developer. It is a custom WordPress theme on WooCommerce, so Bulkbag can sell its standard range online as well as take enquiries for bespoke work.
- Online shop. WooCommerce with product categories for each type of bag, customer accounts and a basket, so trade customers can order stock bags directly.
- Custom bags. A custom bag product so customers can build and buy their own bag specification online, alongside a route to contact the team for fully bespoke solutions.
- Showing the manufacturing. Factory and videos pages that show how the bags are made, and a homepage slider (FlexSlider) with the key selling points: UK made, fast delivery and the widest range.
- Built for the trade. Phone number, email and basket always to hand in the header, on desktop and mobile.
Result
The site gives Bulkbag a direct online sales channel for its standard range while still showcasing its bespoke and industrial capabilities.
