A fabric bag for carrying bulk materials is formed by attaching side panels into a U-shaped member such that the bag is generally in the shape of a rectangular solid in the open position. Lifting loops are secured to each corner of the bag. A discharge outlet is present in the base of the bag for simplifying the emptying process for the bag. The lifting loops are present and sufficiently strong to support the bag when the bag is lifted by a forklift or similar apparatus.
