Fitting
Lay Flat Poly
Bags to Containers
 For
a Round Container...
1. To calculate the width of the bag needed, multiply the diameter of the container
by 3.14 and then divide by 2. Add 1" to this total for a looser fit.
2.
To calculate the length of the bag needed, add 1/2
of the diameter to the height of the container
and then add 5" to this total for overhang.
3.
If tying bag, add 1/2 the diameter again to the bag length determined by step #2. |

 For
a Square or Rectangular Container...
1. To calculate the width of the bag needed, add
the width and length of
the container and then add 2" to this total for a looser fit.
2.
To calculate the length of
the bag needed, add 1/2 of the width to
the height of
the container and then add 5" to this total for overhang.
3.
If tying a bag, add 1/2 the width again
to the bag
length determined
in step #2. |

 Example for Rectangular Container...
To line a carton 14" (length)
x 12" (width) x 21" (height):
1. L + W + 2 = bag width
For example box: 14" + 12" + 2" = 28"
2. H + 1/2 shortest side + 5" = bag length
For example box below: 21" + 6" + 5" = 32"
Using
the formulas above, the ideal lay flat bag to use for a
14" x
12" x 21" container would be 28" x
32" by whatever gauge needed for the particular application.
