How to say "sack" in Japanese

• 袋ふくろJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounThe general word for a bag, pouch, or sack; the natural choice when 'sack' just means a bag-like container, whether of paper, cloth, or plastic.
  建物たてものは小麦こむぎの袋ふくろで一杯いっぱいです。↗

  The buildings are filled with bags of wheat.
• 塁るいCommon
  nounBaseball only: 塁 means a base, matching 'sack' solely as baseball slang for a base. For any physical sack or bag this is not the word you want.
• 俵たわらCommon
  nounA sack woven from straw; think of a bale of rice or grain. Use it only when the sack itself is this straw kind, not for sacks in general.

For a physical sack use 袋, the general bag word; use 俵 for a straw sack or bale, as of rice; 塁 applies only in baseball, where 'sack' is slang for a base.
