Choosing A Bag
There are 2 steps
to choosing a bag:
1. Understanding the 2 Plastic Types and Gauge
2. Matching Bag Sizes to cans
3
Can Liners 101_Layout 1 9/24/12 6:46 PM Page 4
Step 1–The Two Plastic Types
Linear Low Density Bags (LLD)
Used for rough or sharp objects under tough transport conditions.
These bags are very strong and are more resistant to tearing,
but handle lower load capacities than Hi–D bags.
Suggested LLD applications:
• Sticks, rough yard trimmings, glass
• Metal w/sharp edges
• Plastic eating utensils, food with rough edges
Hi Density Bags (Hi-D)
Used for paper and non-rough objects under moderate
transport conditions.
These bags are very strong and handle higher load capacities than LLD bags,
but tear easier once punctured.
Suggested Hi-D applications:
• Paper–plates , cups, towels, office
• Grass, rags, smooth heavy objects
• Cans w/out sharp edges, food with out sharp edges

Step 1– Gauge (film thickness)
Film thickness is no longer the standard for judging bag strength.
Advanced polymer blend formulations and unique additives have
allowed Heritage to produce thinner, lighter trash bags that are
stronger than thicker bags made from inferior polymer blends.
Below are basic gauge recommendations for Heritage bags:

Step 2– Heritage Sizing Guide
The Heritage Sizing Guide has a complete list of the most
common cans and matching bag sizes in both Hi-D and LLD.
(Recommended LLD bag sizes may differ from the Hi-D sizes
because of their ability to stretch.) The guide shows standard
bag sizes and the AccuFit® sizes where applicable.

Bottom Seals
Almost all Heritage liners are manufactured with Star Seals
because they provide the strongest seal. A Star Seal is not
possible with the thickest-gauge material, so a Flat Seal is used
to create the strongest possible seal for these heavy-weight bags.
High Performance Star Seal
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Most common type of seal
Designed without gussets
Eliminates gaps where leaks can occur
Conforms to the shape of the container
Distributes weight evenly
Maximizes carrying capacity
Sized in two dimensions, EX: 40 x 46
Other Seals
Flat Seal
• Two-dimensional bag (much like a pillow case)
• Strong, but has the potential to leak wet trash
from the corners
• Do not conform as well to the shape of can
• Sized in two dimensions, EX: 40 x 46
Gusset Seal
• Rarely used in the industry
• Flat-style bag design
• Both sides tucked in to form gussets
• Sealed through four layers of film
(the middle of the bag has only two sealed layers)
• A potentially weak bottom seal
• Sized in three dimensions, EX: 23 x 17 x 46

Dual-Dispensing Packaging
The Topside Dual-Dispensing Packaging is designed for end-user
convenience. Our topside dual-dispensing cartons were developed
in response to customer needs. Now, cartons may be stacked
to save space while still dispensing liners with greater ease.

Sales Tool #2 – Site Survey
Most end-users buy trash bags based on what they have bought in the past,
not necessarily based on their true trash disposal needs. There is money to be
saved when you are able to offer the right bag for the right application! Use the
Heritage Site Survey Tool to identify down-gauging and down-sizing opportunities.

Sales Tool #3 – Competitive Evaluation Kit
Don't sell bags against what’s on the competitor’s label, sell against what’s
actually in the box (the true performance specifications of the bag) by utilizing the
Heritage Competitive Evaluation Kit. Heritage Bag’s Laboratories are ready to
thoroughly test any competitor’s samples. The results can be amazing, and the
savings potential can be substantial.
Can Liner Evaluation Kit
Professional Lab
Let Us Show You How to Save Money on Your Can Liners!
Thickness doesn’t matter; strength matters.
“apples-to-apples” comparison of your current bag, just fill out this form
Although trash bags may look and sometimes feel alike, they don’t
and send us 2 samples. We will have it lab tested for important trash
act alike. Thickness doesn’t mean anything anymore! There are new
carrying qualities like puncture resistance, tear resistance, and lifting
resin additives and processes that effect trash bag strength more than
strength. We can then recommend a Heritage bag that will perform
anything! Heritage liners combine the highest quality resins and addi-
better than your current product. So put your can liners to the test.

Sales Tool #4 – Sizing Tape Measure
Identifying
Common
Can Sizes
The Sizing Tape Measure is an excellent
tool used to identify the gallon size of all
cans in the industry.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Starting at the beginning of the tape,
wrap the tape measure around the top
of the waste receptacle just below the lip
of the receptacle.
2. Extend the rest of the tape measure
straight down the side of the receptacle.
3. The bottom of the receptacle will fall
within markers on the tape measure
that specify the size of the receptacle.
4. Use your QuickPick brochure to select
the liner size accordingly!

Formulas
• Linear Low Density Case Weight Formula
Length x Width x Gauge (in mils) ÷ 15 ÷ 1000 x bags
per case = net lbs. per case (approximate)
• High Density Case Weight Formula
Length x Width x Gauge (in microns) ÷ 14.5 ÷ 25.4 ÷
1000 x bags per case = net lbs. per case (approximate)
• Microns to Mils Formula
Divide the microns by 25.4 to arrive at mil thickness.
Example:
10 Microns ÷ 25.4 = .39 Mil
24 Microns ÷ 25.4 = .94 Mil
• Mils to Microns Formula
Multiply the mils by 25.4 to arrive at mic thickness.
(1 Mil = 25.4 Microns)
Example:
.30 Mil x 25.4 = 7.6 Microns
.65 Mil x 25.4 = 16.5 Microns

Terms
Butene One of three types of LLDPE resin.
Butene has weaker film-strength properties
than hexene or octene.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
Elmendorf Tear Test ASTM test used to measure the
resistance to tearing.
Blended Resin Refers to the combination of two
or more types of resin.
Wet Load Capacity Measurement of how much wet
weight a can liner will hold.
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.
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.
Seal Term used to describe bottom of a can
liner. The three types of seals are flat, gusseted
and star. (See Bottom Seal section.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
HAO (Higher Alpha Olefin resin) A high-grade hexene-oroctene-based resin used in all our LLD liners. The
properties of this resin allow for a higher-quality can liner.
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.
