How to Measure Shopping Bags

Shopping Bags with Handle

Measuring Shopping Bags with Twist Paper Handle

 

Video Details

Our Paper Shopping Bags can be used for Retail Store Bags or Gift Bags. Typically they feature a gusset which means the bags have a width or depth to them. They usually feature paper twist handles and come in a wide selection of color choices and sizes.

To measure these bags, we measure Length, by Width, by Height. For this example, we have an 8” x 5“ x10” Bag. The first measurement is the length, the second is the width, and the third is the height. Keep in mind that the handles are not included in the height.

  • For the Length: Measure, with the bag standing to face you, at the bottom of the bag from left to right.
  • For the Width (or Gusset): Measure at the bottom from front to back.
  • For the Height: Measure from the bottom to the top of the bag.
