How Gusseted Bag Sizes Work

Gusseted bags are listed as width x gusset x length. An 18" x 14" x 36" bag has an 18" face, side gussets that open 14" deep, and is 36" long, so when it's opened the mouth is 18" x 14". To bag a box, choose a bag whose width and gusset are at least the box's width and depth, and a length of at least the box's height plus half the gusset (the bottom squares off), plus a few inches to fold or tie closed.

Gusseted Poly Bags by Thickness

Thickness is measured in mils, thousandths of an inch. Thicker bags hold heavier loads and resist punctures; thinner bags cost less.

  • 1 mil: bakery, snacks and light retail products
  • 1.25 mil: economical everyday packaging
  • 1.5 mil: general-purpose boxes, kits and food
  • 2 mil: the most popular gauge for carton liners and bulky products
  • 3 mil: heavy-duty liners, heavy parts and frozen food
