Measuring for Lining a Box
1) Measure the width, depth, and height of the box to be lined. The depth should be the shorter side.
2) To determine the Width (W) of the bag, add 1” to the width of the box.
3) To determine the Depth (D) of the bag, add 1” to the depth of the box.
4) The Length (L) of the bag is determined by adding the depth plus 1” to the height plus 1”. Add another 5” to allow coverage of the box contents.
Example: If the box size is 18” (wide) x 12” (deep) x 14” (high), the bag dimensions are as follows:
Width (W) is 19” Depth (D) is 13” Length (L) is 33”
Measuring for a Pallet Cover
1) Measure the width, depth, and height of the pallet to be covered. The depth should be the shorter side.
2) To determine the Width (W) of the cover, add 1-2” to the width of the pallet.
3) To determine the Depth (D) of the cover, add 1-2” to the depth of the pallet.
4) The Length (L) of the cover is determined by adding ½ the depth to the height.
Example: If the pallet size is 40” (wide) x 36” (deep) x 50” (high), the cover dimensions are as follows:
Width (W) is 42” Depth (D) is 38” Length (L) is 68”
Measuring for a Round Container
1) Measure the Diameter (D) and Length (L) of the container to be lined.
2) To determine the Circumference (C) of the container, multiply the Diameter (D) by 3.14.
3) To determine the width of the bag, divide the Circumference (C) by 2. Add 1” for a looser fit.
4) To determine the Length (L) of the bag, add the Diameter (D) to the Length (L). Add 5” for overhang.
Example: If the container size is 12” (diameter) x 30” (height), the bag dimensions are as follows:
Width (W) is 20” Length (L) is 47”
Measuring for a Square Container
1) Measure the width, depth, and height of the container to be lined. The depth should be the shorter side.
2) To determine the Width (W) of the bag, add the width and depth. Add 2” for a looser fit.
3) To determine the Length (L) of the bag, add ½ the depth to the height. Add 5” for overhang.
Example: If the container size is 14” (wide) x 10” (deep) x 32” (high), the bag dimensions are as follows:
Width (W) is 26” Length (L) is 42”
