Abstract
Systems and methods relating to the packing and packaging of bulk material bags such as grain bags and silage bags. The left and right sides of the bag are continuously folded over itself without overlapping the center of the bag. The folded bag allows for the left and right side ends to sit atop the folded left and right sides. The box containing the packed grain bag may have an external indicator indicating the center of the bag. This configuration allows for users to pull/unravel the bag easily and the indicator allows for easy alignment of the bag with the grain bagger.

A packed bulk material bag package in a box, said package comprising:
- a bulk material bag in said box wherein said bag comprises:
- a center section having a center;
- a left side that is folded over itself in said box such that no part of a folded left side substantially overlaps said center;
- a right side that is folded over itself in said box such that no part of a folded right side substantially overlaps said center, the left side and the right side distinguishing a width there between;
- wherein
- an end of said left side is adjacent to and facing a left edge of said folded left side;
- an end of said right side is adjacent to and facing a right edge of said folded right side;
- and
- said bulk material bag is packed in said box with said end of said left side and said end of said right side being accessible to a user such that the user accesses said bag by way of pulling said end of said left side outwards and away from said center and pulling said end of said right side outwards and away from said center, to thereby stretch said bulk material bag in a width-wise manner.
