Correct Sizing of Trash Can Liners

Choose the right trash can liner for the right application


Puncture Resistance Tear Resistance
Load Capacity

Linear Low Density Can Liner

Recommended for sharper objects under tougher transport conditions. Linear low density trash can liners have excellent resistance to punctures and tearing.

Good Resistance Greater Resistance Good Load capacity

High Density Trash Can Liner

Great for paper and non-sharp objects under moderate transportation conditions. Uses less plastic than linear low density can liners. High density plastic trash can liners have excellent resistance to puncture and high resistance to tearing.

Greater Resistance Good Resistance Greater Load capacity

Approximate Gauge Equivalents

Static load (lifting strength) is the best way to choose can liner strength. Below are the approximate gauge equivalents for static load


Linear Low Density Liner
High Density Liner
Refuse Weight .30 - .35 Mil Refuse 6 Mic
Light Weight .36 - .49 Mil Light 7 - 9 Mic
Medium Weight .50 - .60 Mil Medium 10 - 12 MIC
Heavy Weight .61 - .74 Mil Heavy 13 - 14 MIC
Extra Heavy .75 - .80 Mil Extra Heavy 15 - 17 MIC
Super Tuf .81 - 1.0 Mil XX Heavy 18 - 24 MIC
Super Heavy 1.1 - 1.2 Mil
XX Heavy 1.3 - 1.9 Mil
XXX Heavy 2.0 - 3.0 Mil

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
