Bag thickness standards: what is a mil?

Most bag bans regulate the thickness of bag materials in mils. The problem is: most of us don’t know what is a mil. If you’re an engineer, you probably know what a mil is, but the rest of us need some help.

So, what is a mil? A mil is a thousandth of an inch. Generally, measurements of less than 1/8 of an inch are too small to see, but often we can feel them.

California has set the legal standard for a plastic film bag at 2.25 mil. Some cities allow bags a little thinner, and others require bags to be a little smaller, but more bans have this measurement than any other thickness.

Plastic fabric bags are not normally measured in mils but in GSM. Learn more about GSM here. Only plastic film bags, made with plastic sheeting that does not breathe, is so thin that mils become an appropriate measurement. In california, the minimum weight for fabric bags is 80 GSM.

To give you a tactile sense of how measurements in mils can be useful, here are some ordinary objects and their measurement in mils.

Thickness measured in mils

Bags of 2.25 mil are technically reusable, but few people reuse them. A study by save our shores surveyed shoppers in monterey CA county, after a bag ban had been implemented. Out of the 740 shoppers questioned, only 4 had reused a bag of that thickness. Save our shores and other groups are advocating that bags be at least 4 mils in order to be classified as reusable.

Bag bans are new and as more information comes in about how regulations affect consumers and stores, modifications are likely to be forthcoming. You can always call 1 bag at a time for a quote on our wholesale shopping bags and ask us to check your local bag laws to make sure our products are in compliance.

Understanding trash bag thickness

Posted by vivian mcneil on jan 09, 2020

There are so many trash bags types to choose from. How should one be able to understand what type of thickness they really need? Many individuals will purchase a set of trash bags without even thinking into it if these are right for me. Then you have the homeowners who have been buying a box of black garbage bags just because that’s what their mother did. Meanwhile, the bag is constantly slipping when a heavy piece of trash finds a home in the receptacle. At that point, whichever party in the kitchen feels responsible enough for the kitchen garbage can, will try and locate the two sides of the bag and attempt to bring it over the bin lip. They will then hope and pray that the lid will hold it in place and prevent it from slipping in again. Of course, that’s all until the next resident of the home needs to scrape their plate off from supper and there it goes again, into the trash bin. Finally, the trash bag is full and lifted out of the bin, all the trash sinks to the bottom which creates a significant air cavity on top. This will quickly fill up your outdoor trash can days before the local sanitation service picks it up.

Common frustrations like these can be avoided if both residential and commercial garbage bag consumers understand garbage bag types. By comprehending trash bag capacity and thickness you will be able to get the right type of trash bag the first time, and not get stuck with hundreds of bags that don’t fit your business or household needs.

What material is used to create a plastic garbage bag?

Before getting into the types of thickness and perhaps density, we need to first get a clear picture of how plastic trash bags are made. The commonality between most garbage bags is that they are made from polyethylene resin. The polyethylene film is made of extruding molten resins through a dye to create a bubble. Once this step is complete, the film will then be flattened and passed through many rollers until it cools down and is ready to be cut and boxed for distribution. The main ingredient, resin can come in two forms, processed resin and virgin resin. It’s possible that a thinner bag made of virgin resin might be able to outperform a thicker bag made of processed resin. In order to gain equal strength between both bag types, a significant amount of processed resin will be necessary, more than those bags made from virgin resin. It’s quite clear, virgin resin outperforms processed resin.

How is trash bag thickness measured?

There are many ways to measure a garbage bag’s thickness, but the most common way is done by a micrometer. There are both manual and electric micrometers which are used to measure the bag’s thickness in mil. A mil is defined by dictionary.Com as follows; “A unit of length equal to 0.001 of one inch (0.0254 mm), used in measuring the diameter of wires”. It’s a very small metric but can make the biggest difference when choosing a garbage bag. When the manufacturer measures the bag’s thickness, they take a micrometer and place the plastic between the two external jaws. The micrometer will then compute the measurement in mils.

Contractors that are transporting trash that’s heavy and possibly sharp, will want to shop for a high-density thick trash bag. Many contractor garbage bags can be thin and tear when handling heavy duty trash. For a household, fall cleanup, and other light trash, thickness might not be that important and a .82 mil bag should suffice. If your tall kitchen trash bag is not holding up, try looking for a higher mil trash bag. Once you find the right bag that works for you, stock up and buy a big box of these trash bags. People tend to take a liking to the brand and stick with a specific garbage bag which works for them and their family. Commercial facilities will pretty much do the same and be consistent with the trash bags they choose to use.

The trash bag thickness guide

In order to dumb down this concept, we will provide a description for each trash bag thickness followed by a comprehensive table which you can easily identify the specific garbage bag you’re looking for. It may come in handy for a homeowner or facility manager who is looking for garbage bags which match the trash that’s being handled.

Trash bag thickness chart

trash type	density	thickness range	mil or microns?	Can type
light	low	.30 - .49	mil	for small cans
heavy duty	low	.75 - 1.2	mil	for midsize cans
super heavy duty	low	1.3 - 2.0	mil	for larger cans

High density vs low density trash bags

There are two main material types which are offered to consumers. High density trash bags will have a thin and flimsy feel while low density garbage bags will feel smoother and softer. More cost-effective trash liners will often come in a high-density plastic. This is important to notate, because most laymen think that high density is stronger than low density, and now you know that’s not the case. When looking for a durable trash bag that’s strong, resistant to puncturing and tearing you want to go with low density garbage bags. Always remember to stay low when looking for heavy duty garbage bags.

Trash bag thickness in mil and microns

Once you know what type of density bag you're looking for, there will be two metrics to look out for, mil and microns. As explained above, a mil is 0.001 of one inch while a micron is a millionth of a micrometer or better known to those in the united states as 0.00004 inches. The micron is a significantly smaller metric than that of the mil. Therefore, if one is looking for a thick, puncture resistant trash bag, they should make sure to look for a thickness in mil while if one is looking for a trash liner to collect shredding, a thickness in microns would suffice.

Standard trash bag thickness

Since many homeowners are purchasing tall kitchen trash bags, we will choose three trash bags on amazon that had at least a 4.5 star rating, with 5,000+ reviews (the fact that there were 5,000+ reviews shows us that a good portion of the homes in the united states use these bags). The simplehuman® code H trash bag, holds 30 to 35 liters of trash and claims to be thick. With its 11,000+ reviews we could not locate the thickness measurement but found it on home depot, measuring at 1.2 mil. The next trash bag, with 6000+ reviews was the glad tall kitchen drawstring trash bags. It holds 13 gallons of kitchen trash and has a .72 mil thickness. The final garbage bag was amazon's own brand, with 5000+ reviews, the solimo tall kitchen drawstring trash bags. It holds 13 gallons of kitchen trash and has a .9 mil thickness. There are many high quality brands which offer the same codes, thickness, and low density as simplehuman® for less.

Upon review of the above three bags we can determine that the standard garbage bag thickness for tall kitchen trash bags ranges from .72 to 1.2 mil. Anything lower might be subject to puncturing, tearing, and leaving you with a big mess. Keep in mind that even though the trash bag made it from the kitchen to the outdoor trash can, it may not make it from the trash receptacle to the garbage truck. Did you ever see how those strong garbage men yank out those bags? They might take the bag but leave the trash behind.

White vs. Black garbage bags

There are claims that the chemical make-up of white garbage bags is from virgin resin and stronger while chemical make-up of black garbage bags may come from recycled plastic. This plastic is broken down and remade into resin type of plastic which can be reproduced into black trash bags. The deep black color gives more flexibility of placing other elements into the compound. Another advantage of using white garbage bags is that they are food grade and prevent food contamination. Black trash bags, on the other hand are not food grade and are susceptible to contamination.

Final words

There are many specifications in the trash bag or trash liner you choose. It’s important for the consumer to first identify what content will be placed in the trash bag. When disposing lighter items, thickness in density might not make that much of a difference. On the other hand, a kitchen trash receptacle might contain sharp items like plastic forks, aluminum pans, and other puncturable trash. You then want to make sure that your bag thickness is low density, and measures somewhere between .72 and 1.2 mil. If you wish to not get so technical and don’t care for microns or mils, it will be trial and error. Just make sure that when you are trying out a new trash bag not to purchase such a big box. You don’t want to get stuck with a big box of high-density trash bags that puncture and tear easily. What you are looking for is a garbage bag that is not trash.

Where L_mils is the length in mils and L_millimeters is its equivalent in millimeters.

The mil is a unit of measure typically used in manufacturing and engineering for describing distance tolerances with high precision or for specifying the thickness of materials. One mil is equal to one thousandth of an inch, or 10 -3 inches.

The mil is also referred to as thou.

The closest unit to the mil in the metric system is the micrometer: one mil is equal to 25.4 µm.

Millimeter

One millimeter, in the metric system, is equivalent to 1/1000 (one thousandth) of a meter. 1 mm = 10 -3 m.

It is used to describe lengths that are relatively small, like the widths of pipes, cables or connectors. The well known terms 8mm, 16mm and 32mm describe common widths of motion picture films.

To understand the approximate size of one millimeter, see this tiny red line:

Woodpeckers slab flattening mill

Woodpeckers slab flattening mill guides your router over your slab in a controlled plane. Since you’re using a router instead of a planer-style cutterhead, tear-out is minimal…the surface will only need light sanding afterwards. The slab flattening mill starts with two aluminum extrusions. The inverted “V” shape of these main rails sheds sawdust and provides a solid base for the mating extrusion. The second extrusion fits over the inverted “V” and glides on UHMW polyethylene runners. Simply mount the mill to any flat and level work surface…even a sheet of MDF on a pair of sawhorses. When you’re done, the modular design stores conveniently.

We now offer the slab flattening mill in 4 sizes to accommodate the needs of every slab woodworker. If you’re tight on shop space and are planning to do end-grain cutting boards and end table sized slabs, our smallest slab flattening mill will handle work up to 24" x 24". If you need more length, there’s the 24" x 48". The basic slab flattening mill accommodates slabs up to 38” x 57”. The extended slab flattening mill adds an additional pair of 72" rails that can either replace the cross rails to increase width, or connect with the base rails to extend length. The capacity grows to either 62” x 105” or 38” x 129”. These huge capacities are great…when you need them. Remember, though, you can always mount the rails closer together when it suits your project. See the chart in the photos for a guide to all the maximum size configurations. All sizes of the slab flattening mill can accommodate stock up to 3-7/16" in thickness. If your stock is thicker than that, you can use shop-made spacers to raise the slab flattening mill. Conversely, if you are dealing with thin stock, you can use the same approach on the underside of your thin stock. Since all routers vary in height capacity and router bits vary in overall length, you may need to elevate your stock or elevate the mill in order to achieve the desired results of the slab flattening mill.

Using the slab flattening mill is as easy as sliding your router across the slab and back, moving over a little less than the width of your cutter and repeating until you’re done. It works best with a variable speed router of 2 horsepower or more. You’ll get done sooner if you stick to a large diameter spoil board style bit. We’ve done some of the shopping for you and offer a couple of suggested router bits. One is an economical brazed carbide bit from whiteside. The second one, from amana, features reversible/replaceable carbide inserts so you can always have sharp edges.

This process produces lots of shavings. Our new optional dust collection port bolts to the carriage and rides along right beside the exit point of the shavings. It works with either shop vacuums or larger dust collectors. A brush surrounds the pick-up area, trapping the shavings equally well on smooth or uneven slab surfaces. Mounts to the carriage with 6 simple screws, replacing the carriage end-stops. This will retro-fit to any woodpeckers slab flattening mill, regardless of when you bought it.

Don’t put off that natural edge project you’ve been dreaming about any longer. Order your woodpeckers slab flattening mill today!

WHAT'S A MIL?

Aside from the dimensions of the bag, the mil thickness is another critical component in selecting the right plastic bag for your needs.

A mil is a unit of measurement used to measure the thickness of film in thousands of an inch; 1 mil = 1/1000 inch. While simple in principle, it's very hard to visualize 1/1000 of an inch. Look around; is there anything that you can relate to 1/1000 of an inch? For example, paper is about 9 mils and a human hair is about 2/1000 of an inch or 2 mils, but try visualizing two hairs stacked upon each other as a 4 mil bag. This is where most people get lost; there are few things that we understand as being 1/1000 of an inch.

Mils are sometimes listed in decimal as thousands of an inch; a 2 mil bag may be listed as .002. To convert the decimal to actual mils, simply shift the decimal over by three, .004 to 4 mils.

Choosing the right mil thickness

How thick of a mil needed is dependent on the application. If you're product is heavy or has sharp corners, it would be a wiser choice to go with a heavier gauge than lighter. Vice versa, you would not want to place food items; fruits, vegetables, etc… in a 6 mil bag. Keep in mind that the clarity of a bag is affected by the thickness. A 4 mil bag would not be a clear as a 1 mil bag.

The best way to understand the thickness of a mil is to use some perspective. Here are some common everyday bags and their associated mil thicknesses:
