Plastic Key Characteristics
High-Density (HD)
• Makes “crinkly” noise when you move it – Think of a supermarket bag • Harder to start or puncture a hole in than Low Density (LLD) • Once a hole is started, will spread quickly or “zipper” • Thinner than LLD, but can hold same or greater weight as LLD liners • Gauge (thickness) measured in Micron (MIC) • Some suggested applications: cans without edges, paper, food, smooth heavy objects • Substantial cost savings on a per-liner basis
Linear Low-Density (LLD)
• Quiet when moved – No “crinkly” sound • Easier to start or puncture a hole in than HD • A hole will spread less quickly than HD • Gauge (thickness) measured in MIL • Most common type in the industry• Recommended for sharper objects and tough transport conditions
Bottom Key Characteristics
Star Seal • Most common type in the market • Bottom of the bag looks like a star or appears “bunched up” • Conforms well to large round trash cans • Minimum leak potential • Most expensive and highest quality • Star seal liners are designated by two dimensions (i.e. 40 x 46)
Gusset Seal • A flat style bag • Both sides tuck in to form a gusset • If bag is lying flat it will have a third dimension like an expandable envelope • Conforms reasonably well to the shape of the trash can • May leak – potential for weak bottom • Least expensive • Gusset seal liners are designated by three dimensions (i.e. 23 x 17 x 46)
Flat Seal • Bag will lay out perfectly flat like a tube with a seal on one end or resemble a pillow case • Does not conform to the shape of the trash can • Holds 20-30% more than a star sealed • Medium leak potential • Flat seal liners are designated by two dimensions (e.g. 40 x 46)

Can Liner 101
21
1 Choose bag size and bottom seal of the liner based on type of trash can being used
• Some manufacturers will state liner sizes in “gallons” in an attempt to offer smaller liners that use less plastic
• Most manufacturers use the item number to indicate the liner size even though it is not the actual size of the liner
• Star sealed can liners are the most expensive and highest quality since they conform better to larger, round trash cans
• Gusset sealed bags are the least expensive and will tend to leak, unlike star seal or flat seal
2 Choose plastic type (HD or LLD)
• High density liners are lower in cost than low density liners
• Recycled plastic or repro liners yield a bag with a lower capacity for weight at a lower cost.
• A thicker repro liner is needed to lift the same amount of static weight as a virgin resin bag
3 Verify the gauge or thickness of the liner
• Some manufacturers avoid stating the actual thickness of the liners, an attempt to sell less plastic for a higher price
• There is no governing agency to ensure that thicknesses listed on the carton is what is actually in the box. Weighing the case and comparing against other brands will help identify any differences. Less weight equals less plastic.
• Many manufacturers will test liner samples in their lab to give you the actual mil/mic thickness of a competitive product for comparison purposes
4 Check how many liners are in the case and calculate the cost per can liner pricing
• Fewer liners in a case gives the appearance of a better value because of the lower price
• Calculating the cost per can liner will give you the true cost per use
5 When in doubt, weigh the case! This will help determine what’s really in the box!

The Helpful Tips
When Choosing a Bag...
Can Liner 101
The Ultimate Tip:
The most effective way to save costs is to size your liner correctly with the proper strength
characteristic for your load application!

Can Liner Term used for garbage, trash or waste bags. Used in industrial, institutional and medical applications.
Colors Can liners come in standard colors: clear, black, white, gray, red, blue and yellow. (Other colors available.)
Food and Utility Bags Small clear bags designed to hold a variety of small objects (e.g., bread, poultry, vegetables, etc.)
Film Strength Refers to the physical strength of the can liner. Some resins have a higher film strength than others. Our can liners are made from highest quality resins, giving them the highest quality film in the market place.
Dart Drop Test ASTM test used to determine the resistance of a bag to local failure or puncturing of the film.
Elmendorf Tear Test ASTM test used to measure the resistance to tearing.
Wet Load Capacity Measurement of how much wet weight a can liner will hold.
Dry Load Capacity Measurement of how much dry weight a can liner will hold.
Gauge Term used to describe thickness. LDPE and LLDPE can liners are measured by mil thickness and HMW-HDPE can liners are measured by micron thickness.
Mil (One thousandths of an inch) Term used in the measurement of LDPE and LLDPE can liners. One mil is .001”. Can liners range between .35 to 4.0 mil.
Micron Term used in the measurement of HMW-HD can liners. 25.4 microns equals .001”. 1,000 microns (M) = 1mm. HMW-HDPE can liners are 6 to 24 microns.
Resin Short term for Polyethylene resin. The three types of PE resin are LDPE, LLDPE and HMW-HDPE (see below). Other plastic resins include vinyl, polypropylene, styrene and nylon.
LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) This resin was used with older can liner technology. Resin has good clarity but weak film strength. Today it is used primarily for Food and Utility Bags that don’t require heavy loads.
LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene) This is the primary type of resin used in modern can liner manufacturing technology. Bags made from LLDPE film provide excellent combination of film strength, puncture resistance and tear resistance.
HMW-HDPE (High Molecular Weight–High Density Polyethylene) Bags made from HMW-HDPE resin provide excellent film strength and puncture resistance, but less tear resistance than LLDPE.
Butene One of three types of LLDPE resin. Butene has weaker film-strength properties than hexene or octene.
Hexene One of three types of LLDPE resin. We use Higher Alpha Olefin (High Grade Hexene) in the manufacturing of can liners. Properties include high film strength and increased tear resistance.
Octene One of three types of LLDPE resin. We use Higher Alpha Olefin (High Grade Octene) in the manufacturing of can liners. Used in other applications because of its excellent physical properties.
Prime Resin Refers to the usage of high-quality, “fresh from the reactor,” resin. We use only prime resins in all of the products we produce, unless specified otherwise.
Blended Resin Refers to the combination of two or more types of resin.
Regrind Resin: Repro) Refers to resin that has been used at least once before. Can be post-industrial (scrap) or post-consumer (recycling). Strength properties of resin is decreased each time it is reused.
Seal Term used to describe bottom of a can liner. The three types of seals are flat, gusseted and star. (See Bottom Seal section.)
Flat Seal Straight seal along bottom of a can liner (looks like a pillow case). Though Flat Seals are strong, they may have a tendency to leak wet trash from the corners.
Gusset Seals A flat-style bag manufactured with both sides tucked in to form gussets. Has a tendency to leak wet trash from the center at gusset points where four layers of film meet two.
Star Seal Designed without gussets, the Star Seal eliminates gaps along the seal where leaks can occur. The bottom of the bag is folded over several times and sealed. Trash rests on the material instead of the seals. This leak-resistant seal holds wet trash better than the other two types of seals.
Individually Folded Can liners are separately folded, then stacked on top of one another. This allows the end-user to pull liners out of the box with much more ease vs. bulk-folded bags.
Cored Rolls Can liners are rolled together on cardboard cylinders (looks similar to a roll of paper towels). Can liners come inside a special box that dispenses with ease.
Coreless Rolls Can liners are rolled in groups of 25 or 50 per roll. There are 4 to 10 rolls per case. Rolls are perforated or interleaved.
