How to Measure Gift Bags

Length, Width, Height

You want your gift to fit perfectly in the bag, right? Measuring a gift bag is easy once you know what to look for. You need three numbers: length, width, and height. These numbers tell you how much space you have inside the bag.

Here’s how you measure each part:

  1. Length: This is the side of the bag that runs from left to right when you look at the front.
  2. Width: This is the depth of the bag, from the front to the back.
  3. Height: This is how tall the bag stands from the bottom to the top.

Most gift bags list their size as height x width x depth. You can use a ruler or tape measure to check these numbers. If you measure your gift first, you can pick a bag that fits without squeezing or leaving too much empty space.

Tip: Always measure the widest part of your gift. This helps you choose a bag with the right length and width.

Here’s a quick table to help you remember:

MeasurementWhat It MeansHow to Measure
LengthSide to sideMeasure across the front
WidthFront to back (depth)Measure from front to back
HeightBottom to topMeasure from base to opening

If you want a custom bag from INITI, you can tell us the exact length, width, and height you need. We’ll make sure your bag matches your product.

Why Dimensions Matter

Choosing the right size for your gift bag makes a big difference. If your bag is too small, your gift won’t fit. If it’s too big, your present might slide around and look less special. You want your gift to look neat and feel secure.

The dimensions also affect how easy it is to carry the bag. A bag with the right length and width feels comfortable in your hand. The height keeps taller items upright and safe. When you order custom bags, you can pick the perfect size for your needs.

Note: INITI can help you design bags for any occasion. You just need to share your measurements, and we’ll create a bag that fits your gift perfectly.

Picking the right size isn’t just about looks. It helps protect your gift and makes your brand stand out. When you use INITI’s custom options, you get a bag that matches your product and your style.

Extra-Large Gift Bags

Dimensions
