When Size Does Matter
We want to help you purchase the correct bag size for your needs. Not only do you save yourself some green, but you also help the environment stay green. And please remember to recycle when you can. Less makes a difference!
See our illustrations and guidelines below to help you calculate the optimal bag size for your intended packaging use.
Measuring Guidelines
Box Liner - Gusseted
Note: Depth (D) is the shorter of the 2 sides.
- Width (W) of the bag = width of the box + 1"
- Depth (D) of the bag = depth of the box + 1"
- Length (L) of the bag = height of the box + depth + 6" to allow coverage of box contents
Example:Box: 18" W x 12" D x 14" H
Bag: 19" W x 13" D x 33" L
Pallet Cover - Gusseted
Note: Depth (D) is the shorter of the 2 sides.
- Width (W) of the cover = width of the pallet + 1"-2"
- Depth (D) of the cover = depth of the pallet + 1"-2"
- Length (L) of the cover = height of the pallet + half of the depth
Example:
Pallet: 40" W x 36" D x 50" H
Cover: 42" W x 38" D x 66" L
Square Container - Layflat
- Width (W) of the bag = width + depth of container + 2" for a looser fit
- Length (L) of the bag = height of the container + half of the depth to the height; add 5" for overhang
Example:
Container: 14" W x 10" D x 32" H
Bag: 26" W x 42" L
Round Container - Layflat
- Circumference (C) of the container = Diameter (D) x 3.14
- Width (W) of the bag = Circumference divided by 2 + 1" for a looser fit
- Length (L) of the bag = container height + container diameter; add 5" for overhang
Example:
Container: 12" D x 30" H
Bag: 20" W x 47" L
Reclosable Bag
- Measure Length (L) from the bottom of the bag to the base of the reclosable seal
- Measure Width (W) of the bag from side to side
- For rigid items, add 1/2" to the width of the bag to allow the item to fit through the opening
- For thick and bulky items, adjust dimensions accordingly
- Add 1/2" to 2" to both dimensions for a looser fit
Example:
For a flat product 3 1/2" W x 5 1/2 D, the bag dimensions should measure at least 4" W x 6" L
Slider Top Bag
- Measure Length (L) from the bottom of the bag to the base of the slider closure
- Measure Width (W) of the bag from side to side
- For rigid items, add 1 1/2" to the width of the bag to allow the item to fit through the opening
- For thick and bulky items, adjust dimensions accordingly
- Add 1/2" to 2" to both dimensions for a looser fit
Example:
For a flat product 2 1/2" W x 5 1/2 D, the bag dimensions should measure at least 4" W x 6" L
