Gusseted poly bags are measured in the following way: 1st Dimension = the width. 2nd Dimension = the depth of the gusset. 3rd Dimension = the length from the opening to the seal.
Our Gussetted Poly Bags are great for bulky, substantial items because the third dimension provides extra space.
PackagingSupplies.com offers three different grades of these bags: 1 mil, 1.5 mil or 2 mil. See above for details.

How to Size Gusseted Poly Bags
Read the listed dimensions as width, gusset depth, and length. Measure the contents and leave room for the expanded depth and the closure.
Choose Thickness for the Job
Compare the film thickness stated on the selected listing with the weight and handling needs of the contents. Size and thickness are separate choices.
Avoid an Overfilled Bag
Leave clearance around the item and enough material at the opening for closing. A stretched bag or crowded closure can make packing harder.
Check Fit Before a Bulk Order
Try the filled bag with the intended closure and handling method. Use a different size or shape if the contents put stress on the seams.
