What is an IBC Cover?
An IBC cover is an elasticated protective plastic sheet designed to extend the lifespan of your IBC containers and preserve the product you are storing or transporting. There are a variety of styles available, including waterproof and insulated options.
Benefits of Using an IBC Tank Cover
No matter what you’re storing in your IBC, there are many benefits of adding a cover.
- Contamination control: Keeps dirt, industrial grit, bird droppings, dust, and moisture away from top fill caps, valves, and discharge spouts.
- Weather & UV shielding: High-grade materials protect plastic inner bottles from UV degradation, brittle cracking, and algae growth caused by direct.
- Secure fit: Equipped with corner eyelets, tie-downs, or elasticated hems to resist high winds and harsh warehouse environments.
Waterproof IBC Cover
Engineered for complete weatherproofing, our waterproof IBC covers provide a reliable shield against rain, snow, sleet, and harsh outdoor elements. Manufactured from high-grade, water-repellent PVC, these heavy-duty covers prevent water ingress, rusting of steel cages, and damage to primary container valves during long-term outdoor storage.
Insulated IBC Cover
Temperature fluctuations can cause liquid products to crystallise, freeze, or lose viscosity. Our insulated thermal IBC covers feature multi-layer thermal barriers (including foil and bubble insulation) to lock in heat or buffer against freezing ambient temperatures.
Anti-Static IBC Dust Cover
For quick, economical indoor protection, our Elasticated IBC Dust Covers feature a stretch hem that snaps securely over the top opening and lid of 1000L containers (fitting diameters from 1000mm up to 1500mm).
UV Resistance IBC Cover
Direct exposure to solar radiation degrades high-density polyethene (HDPE) IBC bottles over time and can trigger rapid algae growth in stored water or liquid solutions. Our UV protective covers block harmful ultraviolet rays, extending container usability and maintaining liquid clarity.

IBC Cover FAQs
Do i need IBC Covers?
Purchasing an IBC cover is a fantastic way of giving your product some much needed protection during packing, transporting and storing your goods. IBC covers come in a number of different varieties, but will generally protect your product from dirt, dust and moisture. If you’ve been using intermediate bulk containers to store and transport your goods for any length of time, you probably know how easy it is for your IBC to become dirty, dusty or damaged. When this happens, you’re in danger of having your product contaminated, compromised, damaged or even entirely ruined. IBC covers help to protect your product and IBC against this.
IBC covers can protect your product in a number of different ways. Our elasticated IBC covers fit tightly over the top of the container to protect the openings from any dirt and dust while also keeping moisture out. Our woven IBC covers are designed to more fully protect your intermediate bulk container, covering it almost entirely. This helps keep the entirety of your container covered and protected whilst in transport or storage. Made from tough and waterproof material, and also featuring eyelets for securely tying the cover to your IBC, our woven IBC covers are especially great if you need to store your containers outside for any length of time.
We also supply UV IBC covers here at ITP Packaging. If you have a product that needs to be protected from UV light and sun damage, such as inks, paints, pharmaceuticals and more. It’s crucial that these kinds of products are protected from ultra violet light during storage and transport. Fortunately, we stock UV IBC covers that can not only protect your product and IBC from the damages of UV light, but also keep your product safe from dirt, dust and moisture.
How much will IBC Covers protect my IBC and products?
IBC covers can help to protect your product whilst you are packing, storing or transporting your goods using an intermediate bulk container. IBCs are generally quite secure, so the main threat to your product is the dirt, dust and moisture that can get through small openings. These can potentially contaminate or damage your product – a nightmare scenario for anyone using intermediate bulk containers to contain and transport their goods and produce.
If you want an incredibly cost effective solution, then elasticated dust covers for your IBCs are great way of quickly and easily covering the top of your container. These covers fit tightly around the top of the container to keep out dirt, dust and moisture from getting near your main opening. On the other hand, our woven IBC covers fit completely over the IBC. These covers are great for fully protecting not just your container’s openings and the product from dirt and dust, but also for protecting the intermediate bulk container itself. Our woven IBC covers are made from woven polypropylene, making them incredibly durable and tough, resistant to damage and also waterproof. Exceptional when keeping your containers in outside storage areas, these woven covers have long lifespans and are even fitted with eyelets in order to be fully secured and tied down against the wind and other disruptive factors.
If you need to protect your IBC contents from sun damage and the effects of UV light, then our UV IBC covers are designed to meet your needs. These covers are made from a heavy weight 600 denier polyester fabric, coated with PVC. This makes our UV IBC covers durable and hard wearing, able to be used when using intermediate bulk containers in outside storage areas. They fully cover your IBC, providing much of the same protection from moisture, dirt and dust as other IBC covers, with the added benefit of being protective against UV light.
How much do IBC Covers cost?
The cost of an IBC cover depends on what variation you’re looking at purchasing. For instance, elasticated dust covers for your IBC are among the most basic protection and therefore come at a very low cost. We always recommend elasticated dust covers at the very least for protecting your IBC and its contents. Because of their low cost and long lifespan, they’re cost effective and an easy investment to make.
Woven IBC covers are next up on the list, protecting your IBC and goods more fully than elasticated dust covers. These woven IBC covers are made from tough woven polypropylene, making them very hard wearing and long lasting. This means that a single investment will prove very cost effective over time because you’ll get many uses out of each single woven IBC cover.
If you want a more luxury option for protecting your IBC, then our UV IBC covers are definitely the choice for you. Our UV IBC covers are fantastic for fully covering your intermediate bulk container and not just protecting it from dirt, dust and moisture contamination, but also from sun damage and UV light. The fact is that if you’re using IBC’s to transport inks, paints, pharmaceuticals and other UV sensitive goods, then you need the protection of a UV IBC cover.
Are IBC Covers secure?
If you’re packing, transporting or storing precious goods in intermediate bulk containers, then you need to make sure that your product is protected from contamination, dirt and moisture. There’s a chance that your IBCs will spend time outside and in transport or storage areas with a lot of dust and damp. If this is the case, then investing in an IBC cover is a great idea. But how secure are IBC covers?
When it comes to protecting the top of your IBC and the main opening of the container, elasticated dust covers are a great way to securely protect from contaminants like moisture and dirt. These covers fit snugly around the top of the IBC thanks to their elasticity, forming a secure and loose cover against the environment. If you want to entirely cover your IBC then woven IBC covers are great for this. Made from durable material, our woven covers are hard wearing and resistant to damage, as well as protecting your IBC and product from dirt and dust. These IBC covers are often used in storage areas and come with eyelets as standard, allowing you to securely tie the cover to your IBC.
While our UV IBC covers don’t come with eyelets as standard, we can supply UV covers with custom eyelets for the purpose of being tightly tied to your IBC. As well as fully protecting the contents of your IBC from UV light, these covers fully cover your IBC. This gives a similar level of protection against dirt and dust as other IBC covers. One of the most practical and useful features of our UV IBC covers is that they come with flaps so that you can easily access your IBC openings while in use – you don’t need to remove the cover to access the IBC’s contents, meaning that your product can remain safely protected from UV light all the time.
What size is an IBC Cover?
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) come in a range of different sizes, but 1000ltr is certainly the most common and widely used. As such, we supply woven IBC covers suitable for 1000ltr IBCs as standard through our online catalogue. Made from woven polypropylene, these woven IBC covers fit very snugly over a 1000ltr IBC and come with eyelets as standard – allowing them to be securely tied down to cover the entirety of your IBC. These covers are also suitable to be used for any pallet around 1000x1200x1000mm in size. If you need a woven IBC cover in a different size, get in touch with us today to find out how we can assist you further.
For an IBC cover that is cost effective and versatile, capable of serving multiple uses, look no further than our elasticated IBC dust covers.

The elasticated IBC dust covers we supply here at ITP Packaging can be used to cover pallets, boxes, mixing vessels and other types of container.
We also supply 1000ltr size UV IBC covers as standard. As with our woven IBC covers, these UV-resistant covers are suitable for any pallet around 1000x1200x1000mm in size.

What are IBC Covers made from?
Our woven IBC covers are made from woven polypropylene fabric, making them incredibly tough and hard-wearing. The use of this kind of fabric means that our woven IBC covers are guaranteed to last a long time and serve repeated uses without trouble, providing great and improved value for money and cost effectiveness over time. These woven covers won’t be damaged easily and are also waterproof, making them a fantastic choice for outside storage. They cope well with the wear and tear of transport and come with eyelets as standard, allowing to easily secure them to your IBC.
The elasticated IBC dust covers that we supply here at ITP Packaging are made from anti-static and food approved LDPE as standard. We can also supply elasticated covers made from other materials on request, so get in touch with us to find out more. These covers are great for securing the top of IBCs containing goods that need to be protected from contamination by dust, dirt and moisture.
Our heavyweight, ultraviolet resistant UV IBC covers are made using 600 denier polyester material. This means that not only do these covers benefit from the waterproofing, durability and longevity benefits of our woven IBC covers, but they are also completely resistant to UV – protecting your IBC’s contents from sun damage. These covers are absolutely essential for anyone planning to transport or store UV-sensitive goods such as inks, resins and coatings using an IBC. One side of the material is coated with PVC, allowing it to be brandished with lettering and imagery such as logos, instructions or warnings.
Are IBC Covers waterproof?
Our range of IBC covers come with varying degrees of waterproofing and weatherproofing. If you think that you need a covering solution for your IBC, there’s a good chance that the reason is that you want to protect your contents from dirt, dust and moisture. If you’re transporting or storing your IBC and it’s spending a lot of time outside, you want a cover that is going to protect both your IBC and its contents from the weather.
The elasticated IBC dust covers we supply are made of a waterproof plastic, making it good for securing the top of your IBC against rain and wind. However, because these covers only cover the top of the IBC, we don’t particularly advise using them to cover IBCs that are going to face a lot of time in outside storage. While these covers will prevent a build up of rainwater on the top of your IBC, they won’t protect the rest of your IBC.
We do supply IBC covers that are absolutely perfect for outside storage, however. Our woven IBC covers are made from woven polypropylene, giving them great weatherproofing attributes. This material is waterproof and very hard-wearing, making it great for protecting IBCs throughout the rain and any outside storage and transport. The woven IBC covers we supply are designed for long lasting use and for coping with the wear and tear of not only general use, but of harsh weather conditions too. These covers come with eyelets as standard, allowing them to be securely tied down around your IBC for full protection – great for staying secured outside in the wind.
When it comes to weatherproofing your IBC and protecting its contents from any and all potential weather damage, sometimes there’s more to consider than wind, rain, snow and ice. IBCs are frequently used to transport liquid goods such as inks, resins and coatings – goods which are UV sensitive and are susceptible to sun damage. This is why we stock our UV IBC covers, which not only come with all the great weatherproofing benefits of our woven IBC covers such as waterproofing, but also come with complete ultraviolet protection. These covers will keep your goods completely safe from sun damage while being stored or transported in an IBC. Not only this, but these covers can also come with eyelets at request, allowing them to be securely tied down for even more comprehensive protection.
What size IBC containers do these covers fit?
All of our covers are tailored to fit standard 1000 litre IBCs. However, we also offer bespoke sizes; just get in touch.
Can I fill or discharge my IBC tank without removing the cover?
Yes. Our UV-protective, insulated, and heavy-duty covers feature integrated access flaps at the top (for fill caps) and bottom (for outlet valves and hose connections) so you can operate the container while it remains protected.
