Size guide

What size bag
do you need.

Every bag we make is cut to your exact dimensions. These are the sizes buyers pick most, each anchored to what it actually carries, so you can start from something real and adjust from there.

How to read the numbers

Paper and fabric bags are measured width × height × gusset: width across the face, height top to bottom, and the gusset is the depth of the base when the bag is open. Thermal bags are boxes, so they read width × depth × height with a litre rating. If you are unsure, tell us what the bag needs to carry and we size it for you.

Every size below is verified with our production side, September 2026.
