High density liners are measured in microns. High Density Liners: Made from a resin which provides excellent lm strength and puncture resistance, but with less tear resistance. Using less plastic in the manufacturing process, high density bags are thinner and often more economical than Low Density Bags. They have more of a crinkly feel. Linear Low Density Liners: Made from a resin providing excellent lm strength, and is puncture resistant and tear resistant. The lm is thick and ex- ible. Micron: Term typically used to designate the thickness of High Density Liners. It is based on one millionth of a meter. Mil: Term typically used to designate the thickness of Low Density Liners. It is based on thousandths of an inch. Converting Microns to Mils: Divided the micron by 25.4. Converting Mils to Microns: Multiply the mil by 25.4 Can Liner Guide Conversion Chart Mil Thickness Approx.

Determine container size: Typically one should have about 3-4" of overhang on a trash receptacle. Often the container capacity is imprinted on the container itself. If not, use the chart on the next page to help determine the correct size. Selecting the Right Can Liner
