Plastic Bag Vocabulary:

Terms to know about Plastic Bags:

Gauge – a unit of measurement for the thick
ness of polythene film
1 gauge = 1/1000 of an inch
Metric conversion: 4 gauge = 1 micron

Gusset – a side or bottom fold that increases
the capacity of a bag
Bottom gussets also allow the bag to stand up

Measurement – in plastic bag specifications the
first measurement is always the length of the opening which is usually the width followed by the height. If there is a third number, it gives the measurement of the gusset.

Lip – the part of the bag from the top to the zipper seal

Taking the Measure of a
Reclosable Zip Lock Bag:
Reclosable bags are always measured on the outside from the bottom of the zipper to the bottom of the bag (L) and from side to side (W). There is about 1/2-inch of Lip above the zipper. Actual size may vary 1/4-inch larger or smaller overall.
     If is A bin bag or bin liner (British English) or garbage bag, trash bag, or also can liner (American English) is a bag used to line the insides of waste containers to prevent the insides of the receptacle from becoming coated in waste material. Most bags nowadays are made out of plastic;
     Plastic bags are a convenient and sanitary way of handling rubbish, and are widely used. Plastic rubbish bags are fairly lightweight and are particularly useful for messy or wet rubbish, as is commonly the case with food waste, and are also useful for wrapping up rubbish to minimize odor. Plastic bags are often used for lining litter or waste containers or bins. This serves to keep the container sanitary by avoiding container contact with the rubbish. After the bag in the container is filled with litter, the bag can be pulled out by its edges, closed, and tied with minimal contact with the waste matter;
     Plastic bags for rubbish or litter are sold in a number of sizes at many other stores in packets or rolls of a few tens of bags. Wire twist ties are sometimes supplied for closing the bag once full. In the mid-1990s rubbish bags with draw strings for closure were introduced. Some bags have handles which may be tied, or holes through which the neck of the bag can be pulled. Most commonly, the rather soft, flexible plastic used to make rubbish bags is LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) or, for strength, LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene). HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is sometimes used;
     Plastic bags can be incinerated with their contents in appropriate facilities for waste-to-energy conversion. They are stable and benign in sanitary landfills;
