Poly Bags: Calculate Your Needs
How to calculate amount of material for your plastic bag order?
First the plastic industry is currently going through changes of how do we get a better bag with less material. What this formulation shows is how to reduce gauge which in turn reduces your packaging cost.
Whether your are buying plastic bags, or printed stand up pouches, the pounds you require will play a part in not only your pricing but but also if the manufacture will even consider running of your job.
To figure out the number of pounds needed for 1,000 bags of your particular bag follow..multiply the length of the bag by the width of the bag (L x W) and by the mil thickness. Note: if this was a 3 mil bag multiply by 3, (not .003). Then take this amount and divide by 15. This will give you the number of pounds of plastic needed for 1,000 of your particular bag.
For example if your bag is 20" x 20" x .003 mil thick and divide by 15. The answer is 1,000 of your bags would weigh 80 pounds.
With todays technology there is a wide market of new materials that replace current materials that allow you to decrease the amount of material usage that not only decreases your cost on a per bag bases but also will decrease the amount of material going into a land fill.
I hope this will help as you continue to look at ways to improve your packaging cost.
