Can Liner Selection Guide

Linear Low Density Bags
(LLD Bags)

Used for rough objects under tough transport conditions.

i.e.: These liners are very strongand more resistant to tearing,but handle lower load capacitiesthan Hi–D liners.

Suggested applications:

• Sticks
• Rough yard trimmings
• Metal w/sharp edges
• Objects w/rough corners
• Plastic eating utensils
• Abusive transport conditions
• Glass bottles
• Food w/rough edges (crab legs)

Linear Low Density Bags
(LLD Bags)

Approximate Gauge Equivalents

In general, use light to heavy gauges for smaller cans; Extra Heavy to Super Heavy for midsize/large cans; Super Heavy to XXXH for very large cans.

Hi Density Bags
(Hi-D Bags)

Used for paper and non-rough objects under moderate transport conditions.

i.e.: These liners are very strong and handle higher load capacities than Low–D liners, but are less resistant to tears once punctured.

Suggested Hi-D applications:

• Office waste baskets
• Dirt, grass, rags
• Paper, paper plates/cups
• Cans w/out sharp edges
• Food w/out sharp edges
• Smooth heavy objects

Hi Density Bags
(Hi-D Bags)

Approximate Gauge

In general, use light to medium gauges for smaller cans; Heavy for midsize/large cans; Extra Heavy for very large cans.
