Lay Flat Poly Bag Dimensions For each lay flat poly bag there are three dimensions. The first measurement is the width across the opening of the bag. The length runs from the bag's opening to the base of the bag. Gauge, the third figure in the bag's dimensions, is a measure of its thickness in MILs. In this catalog you will find the MIL thickness listed above the dimension columns.
