If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

There are two types of resins commonly used in the manufacture of trash bags: Linear Low and High Density.  To decide which one you need, answer this question: “Are sharp objects being thrown away?"

A) If Yes, you need Linear Low Density Bags, which are more puncture & tear resistant

B) If No, you need High Density Bags

2) What size container does the trash bag need to fit?

Ideally you should have about three to four inches of overhang on the trash can.  Anything more or less is wasteful.  The following are some guidelines to use when selecting the right size trash bag.

A) Use the product specification chart to determine the correct size

B) The gallon capacity or the size is usually printed on the trash can

3) What thickness bag do you need for your application?

The term "gauge" is used to describe the thickness of a bag.  Linear Low bags are measured in mils, while High Density bags are measured in microns.  The more weight the bag needs to bear, the higher the gauge will need to be.

A) High Density bags usually range from 6 to 24 micron in thickness

B) Linear Low Density bags range from .35 to 2.0 mil in thickness
