Choosing between nylon bag sizes in Nigeria looks easy until the bags arrive and your goods do not fit. A bag that is too small is useless, and a bag that is too big wastes money and looks careless. The right size does not come from a photo or a guess. It comes from your goods.

This guide explains the five nylon bag sizes we print, what each is commonly used for, and a simple way to decide which one fits your need. It is the starting point for our nylon bag series, and each section links to a more detailed guide.

What each of the nylon bag sizes in Nigeria is best for

Snack Bag, 8 x 11 inches

The smallest size. Phone sellers use it for phones and accessories, and many businesses use it for any small boxed item. It also suits snacks and small food packs. If your item is flat and fits easily on a sheet of paper of about A4 size, start here.

Short Stationery, 8.75 x 13.25 inches

A little taller than the snack bag. It is popular with jewellery sellers, gift sellers and anyone packing small boxes, stationery sets and accessories that need a bit more height.

Long Stationery, 10 x 15 inches

A good all-round size for food and drinks. A restaurant can usually fit about three takeaway plates stacked in it. Sellers of canned drinks and bottled drinks, such as cola bottles, often choose it. It is also the sensible choice when the short size feels tight.

Fashion Nylon Bag, 14 x 18 inches

A bigger bag for folded clothing, small photo frames and other items that are too large for the stationery sizes. Fashion sellers and boutiques often use it for shirts, tops and light items.

Polybag, 15 x 20 inches

The largest. Use it for bulkier clothing, several items together, or any big package. It is the safest size when your goods are large or you want room to spare.

How to decide between nylon bag sizes in Nigeria

  1. Start with the goods, not the bag. Take the real item you want to pack, in the form your customer receives it, boxed, folded or wrapped.
  2. Measure it. Note the width, the height and the thickness. See our guide on how to measure your goods before ordering nylon bags.
  3. Allow room. A bag is flat before it is filled. Once an item with thickness goes in, the sides pull in and the usable space shrinks. A flat bag cannot hold an item of exactly the same flat size, as a polybag sizing guide explains.
  4. Compare with the table above and pick the smallest bag that holds your goods comfortably.
  5. Test before a bigger order. Check one size against your real goods, or ask us for a small batch first.

Do not rely on a picture of a bag on a screen. A phone photo can make a small bag look large and a large bag look small. Always check the printed size list yourself against your goods.
