Gift & Shrink Bag Size Guide

Gift and shrink bags come in a variety of standard sizes made to fit the majority of presentations.

Gift Basket Bags:

Generally the smaller sizes are made of 25 micron thick Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) and are food safe. Larger size bags are made of stronger 30 micron (1.2 mm) BOPP. The lengths of the bags are fairly standard and vary based on the width of the bag so it is nomally only necessary to measure for the width required and then choose the bag size. This does not always apply for presentations that are particularly tall or short.

See below for the gift bag sizes that we carry. All of our gift bags are square bottom.

Shrink bags:

Our shrink bags are made of 30 micron thick Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are food safe. We sell both dome and square bottom shrink bags. See below for the shrink bag sizes that we carry. The sizing calculations below work for shrink bags that are filled from the top. If the shrink bag is to be used as an envelope it is best to test your basket with a bag first.

Determining the right gift or shrink bag size for your basket or container is quick and easy. Follow these calculations to assess which size gift bag or shrink bag you will need:

1. For round baskets or containers:

a) Measure the diameter of the basket or container, ensuring that you take the outside measurements.

b) Multiply the diameter by 2 (Ø x 2)

c) Choose a bag width wider than your calculation in (b) above. Round Bag Size

2. For oval, square or rectangular baskets or containers

a) Measure the length and width of the presentation, ensuring that you take the outside measurements.

b) Add the length and width measurements (L + W)

c) Choose a bag width wider than your calculation in (b) above.
