High-density (HD) bags are thin, crisp feeling, often clear bags that offer a cost-effective option. High-density bags are thinner than linear low-density bags and are not as puncture resistant, yet they can carry very heavy loads. High-density bags are ideal for office and bathroom waste, high traffic areas as well as trash cans located in public areas where sharp, heavy objects are not usually deposited. High-density bags are also perfect for storage of clothes, linens and dry goods. They are not recommended for use in the kitchen or objects with sharp edges.

High-density bags are measured in Microns.

Low-density (LD), or linear low-density (LLD) bags are stronger, thicker and more resistant to punctures and tears than their high-density counterpart. Low-density bags are ideal for kitchen waste, construction sites or trash that includes glass, metal, wood, cardboard or irregular-shaped items.

The thickness of low-density bags is measured in Mils.

That depends entirely on the type of trash you will be filling the bags with. For lighter, less bulky garbage, such as trash from bathrooms or a desk-side bin, a thinner (high-density) bag is sufficient. For heavier, bulky or sharp garbage, as is common in kitchens or construction sites, a thicker (low-density) bag is a good choice. Bag thickness is measured in mils and microns. Most trash bags you'll find in the store range from 0.7 - 1.0 mil in thickness. Thicker bags, like the bags contractors use, are usually 3.0 mil or more in thickness.

Yes. These are measurements for our gusset sealed bags. 23x10x39 is stating the width of the gussets separately while 33x39 is including the width of the gussets in the total width of the bag. Here's an example:

Width of the Bag: 23 inches Width of Gussets (5 inches each): 10 inches

Total width: 33 inches
