ROUND CONTAINERS
Round container sizes for flat bags can be found using Circumference(C), Diameter(D), and Height(H) of the container.
Example: Let's assume the container Height(H) is 25" and the Diameter(D) is 12". Step 1: Circumference(C)= Diameter(D) x 3.14
12(D) x 3.14 = 37"(C) Step 2: Width of Bag is found by Dividing 37"(C) by 2 and adding 1" for a looser fit.
37"/2= 18.5" + 1" = 19.5" Step 3: Length of Bag= Height(H) + Diameter(D) + 5" for overhang.
(H)25" + (D)12" + 5" = 42"
Bag Size Needed is 20" x 42"
SQUARE CONTAINERS
Square container sizes for flat bags can be found using Width(W), Depth(D), and Height(H). Depth is considered the shorter of 2 sides.
TO FIND BAG SIZE FOR A SQUARE CONTAINER, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW: Step 1: Width of Bag Needed: Width(W) + Depth(D) + 2" for a looser fit.
Step 2: Length of Bag Needed: Height(H) + 1/2 of Depth(D) +5" for overhang.
If container size is 14"(W) x 10"(D) x 32"(H), the formula would be:
Step 1: 14"(W) + 10"(D) + 2" = 26" Wide
Step 2: 32"(H) + 5"(1/2 of (D)) + 5" = 42" Long
Bag size needed is 26"x42"
GUSSETED PALLET COVERS
In order to determine the bag size needed, one must measure the WIdth(W), Depth(D), and Length(L). Step 1: Width(W) of the Cover = Width(W) of the pallet + 1-2". Step 2: Depth(D) of the Cover = Depth(D) of the pallet + 1-2" Step 3: Length(L) of the Cover = Height(H) of the pallet + 1/2 the Depth(D)
If pallet size is 40"(W) x 36"(D) x 50"(H),
cover dimensions are 42" x 38" x 68"
GUSSETED BOX LINERS
Sizes for Box Liners can be found using Width(W), Depth(D), and Height(H).
The following steps allow you to determine the correct size. Step 1: Width(W) of the bag = Width(W) of the Box + 1". Step 2: Depth(D) of the bag = Depth(D) of the Box + 1". Step 3: Length(L) of the bag = Height(H) of the Box + Depth(D) of the Box + 6" to cover contents.
If the Box size is 18"(W) x 12"(D) x 14"(H), then the bag dimensions needed are:
19"(W) x 13"(D) x 33"(L).
