To
determine proper bag size for a round container:
Circumference
= Diameter x 3.14
For
the circumference of the bag, multiply the diameter
of the container by 3.14. Divide by 2 to get the
flat width. Add 1 inch for a looser fit.
Add
1/2 of the diameter to the height of the container.
Add 4 inches to this value for overhang. This is
the total length of the bag needed.
If
tying bag, add 1/2 of the diameter to bag length
in Step 2.
To
determine proper bag size for
a square or rectangular container:
Add
the width and length of the sides. Add 1 inch for
a looser
fit. This total equals the flat width of the bag
needed.
Add
1/2 of the shortest side to the height of the container.
Add another 4 inches to this value for overhang.
This is the total length of the bag needed.
If
tying bag rather than lining a box, add 1/2 length
of the shortest side to the bag length in Step 2.
