How to find out your poly bag size?

To determine the necessary dimensions, you will need to measure your product once you have chosen a poly bag type. If you chose a flat bag, choose the length by the width that is right for your product. It is important to consider the size and number of each component when creating a bag for a volume with very small products. Calculate the dimensions that would accommodate that volume based on the overall volume of product to be placed in each bag. To account for imprecision in Rutan Poly as well as to provide space between components, it is important to size up.

When converting a desired volume to dimensions for a gusseted bag, treat the bag as a rectangular prism. Even though you still need to add some room to your measurements to ensure the bags have enough room, gusseted bags are easier to fit correctly due to their depth and shape. Rutan Poly is happy to accommodate custom orders if your calculations reveal that you need a non-standard size.
