BAG LENGTH FORMULAS
TO DETERMINE THE PROPER BAG LENGTH * FOR A
CONSISTENTLY SHAPED PRODUCT (E.G. Bread,Bun
Clusters, Trays, English Muffins, etc.) FOLLOW THIS
FORMULA:
TOTAL BAG LENGTH EQUALS LENGTH OF
PRODUCT PLUS 1/2 OF THE DIAGONAL OF THE
PRODUCT END PLUS 4 INCHES.
TO DETERMINE THE PROPER BAG LENGTH FOR A
LOOSE BULK PRODUCT (E.G. Oranges, Potatoes,
Sugar, Ice, Macaroni, etc.) FOLLOW THIS
PROCEDURE:
1. Fill bag to desired weight using
samples of the product to be
closed.
2. Close bag with the
proper Striplok closure.
3. Check length of the bag
above the closure. The
proper bag length allows
4" of bag above closure
(not including Lip of bag).
* Normal variations in size and density of products will
occur. Oranges, grapefruit and potatoes dehydrate as
the season progresses; bakery products vary due to over
proofing; and density of ice will change because of
certain manufacturing techniques. Therefore, the above
bag length formulas take into account these variations to
give maximum semi-automatic bag closing
dependability.
