LINEAR LOW DENSITY
Recommended for sharper objects under tougher transport conditions. Linear low density trash bags have excellent resistance to punctures and tearing. |
Good Resistance |
Greater Resistance |
Good Load Capacity |
HIGH DENSITY
Great for paper and non-sharp objects under moderate transportation conditions. Uses less plastic than linear low density garbage bags. High density garbage bags have excellent resistance to puncture and high resistance to tearing. |

UNDERSTANDING GAUGE THICKNESS:
Gauge is a term used to describe thickness. Film thickness is no longer the standard for judging plastic can liner strength. Advanced resins and additives have allowed manufacturers to produce thinner, lighter can liners that are stronger than thicker trash can liners made from lesser quality materials. Linear Low-Density Can Liners (LLD) are measured by mil thickness; High-Density Can Liners (HD) are measured by Micron thickness.
Mil (one thousandth of an inch) -
One mil equals .001". Can liners range between .35 to 4.0 mils
Micron
25.4 microns equals .001". 1,000 microns (M) is 1mm. Can liners range between 5 to 24 microns |
