Understanding Liner Dimensioning

Instructions to Determine Proper Liner Dimensions
(For Equipment or Parts to be Shipped in Drums, Gaylords or Crates )

For Round Receptacles:

  • Determine the circumference. A x 3.14 = C
  • Determine opening width of bag: C/2 = width of bag
  • Determine Length of Bag: C/4 + B + 4" (for overhang) = Bag Height

Note: If you are planning on sealing the liner add ( C/2 + B + 4" ). This will give you a top to the liner and room for sealing.

For Square Receptacles:

  • Determine the perimeter. A+B+C+D = Perimeter
  • Determine width of bag: Perimeter/2 = width of bag
  • Determine Length of Bag: B/2 + E + 4" (for overhang) = Bag Height (where B is the shortest side)

Note: If you are planning on sealing the liner add ( E + B + 4" ). This will give you a top to the liner and room for sealing.
