Calculating Bag Dimensions
Here's how to determine fit when you need to place a container in a bag.

  • Inner Box Liner
    1. For the bag width, add 1 inch to the length.
    2. For the gusset, use the width.
    3. For the length, add box width plus the box height plus 6 inches for a tie-off.
  • Pallet Cover
    1. For the bag width, add 2 inches to the pallet length.
    2. For the gusset dimension, add 2 inches to the pallet width.
    3. For the bag length, add one half of the pallet width plus the pallet height plus 5 inches.
