Rice Bag Size Calculator
Calculate custom bag sizes and weights
Custom Bag Dimensions
Bag Specifications
The bag weight is estimated based on the dimensions and material type:
- Calculate surface area: (Width × 2 + Height × 2) × (Height + Width/2)
- Apply material density factor:
- Standard WPP: 1.0× density
- Premium WPP with Liner: 1.2× density
- Vacuum Pack Material: 0.8× density
- If Denier and/or Fabric Weight are provided, these values are used for more precise calculation
Key Considerations for Export
Container Load Calculations
Critical information for export planning:
Palletization
For efficient and safe shipping, bags are almost always loaded onto wooden pallets and stretch-wrapped before being placed in a container. A standard pallet can typically hold 50 x 25kg bags (1.25 MT per pallet).
For accurate weight calculations, provide either Denier value or Fabric Weight if known. If both are provided, Fabric Weight will be used for calculation as it’s more precise.

Title: How to Calculate Custom Rice Bag Weight for Export & Shipping
Our Rice Bag Size Calculator is an essential tool for manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers. To use it:
- Enter Dimensions: Input the width and height of your finished bag in inches.
- Select Material: Choose your bag material (Standard WPP, Premium, or Vacuum) for an accurate weight adjustment.
- Input Fabric Specs (Optional): For a precise calculation, enter the fabric’s Denier or weight in grams per square meter (GSM).
- Calculate: Click the “Calculate Bag Weight” button to instantly get the empty bag weight, flat dimensions, and key specifications.
This tool helps you optimize packaging, plan container loads, and improve shipping efficiency.
SEO Friendly FAQs: Rice Bag Size Calculator | Custom Weight & Dimensions Tool
Q: How accurate is the rice bag weight calculator?
A: The calculator provides a highly accurate estimate based on industry-standard formulas. For the most precise results, provide the fabric’s GSM (grams per square meter) value.
Q: What is Denier and should I use it or GSM?
A: Denier is a measure of yarn thickness. GSM (grams per square meter) is a direct measure of fabric weight and is more accurate for calculations. If you have both, prefer using GSM.
Q: Why does the bag material type affect the weight?
A: Different materials have different densities and often include additional layers. For example, a premium bag with a liner is heavier than standard woven polypropylene (WPP), while vacuum-pack material is lighter and denser.
Q: How many 25kg rice bags fit in a 40ft container?
A: A standard 40ft container can typically hold between 1,600 and 1,800 bags of 25kg each, equating to 40-45 metric tons. The exact number depends on bag dimensions and palletization efficiency.
Q: Is this tool specific to rice bags?
A: While optimized for standard rice bag sizes and materials, the calculator can be used for other similar products like grains, seeds, and animal feed that use woven polypropylene packaging.

Properly calculated bag sizes ensure optimal palletization and container loading, maximizing shipping efficiency and reducing costs
