13 Gallon Trash Bag Dimensions and Bin Fit
“13 gallon” describes approximate capacity. It does not define one fixed bag width and length.
Two 13 gallon kitchen bins can have different shapes, so the correct liner dimensions may also differ.
Key factors include:
- bin opening width;
- bin depth or circumference;
- bin height;
- required rim overhang;
- bottom-seal structure;
- expected waste load.
For OEM projects, we can develop the bag from your existing specification, physical sample, or trash-can dimensions.
If you are still confirming the correct size, see our trash bag size guide.
For a deeper explanation of common kitchen-bag dimensions, see our 13 gallon trash bag dimensions guide.
Thickness Options for 13 Gallon Kitchen Trash Bags
Thickness affects bag weight, strength, puncture resistance, roll diameter, and cost.
18 μm
A practical option for lighter kitchen and food-waste applications where compact roll size and material efficiency are important.
20 μm
A balanced option for buyers who want greater strength while keeping the roll size suitable for retail packaging.
25 μm
Suitable for heavier loads or programs that require a more substantial bag.
The best thickness depends on the bag dimensions, waste type, material formulation, and required performance.
For new private-label projects, samples in different thicknesses can be compared before the final specification is approved.
Common OEM Configurations
The table below shows typical starting configurations for product development.
| Configuration | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 18 μm | Light kitchen and food-waste use |
| 20 μm | General private-label kitchen bag |
| 25 μm | Heavier kitchen or wet-waste applications |
| Core Roll | Standard retail and roll packaging |
| Coreless Roll | Compact retail packaging |
| Bulk Carton | Distributor and institutional supply |
| Printed Retail Box | Private-label retail programs |
These are examples rather than fixed SKUs.
Final dimensions, thickness, roll count, packaging, and certification scope are confirmed for each project.
Compostable Materials
ORIZON uses compostable polymer formulations selected according to required strength, flexibility, thickness, certification scope, and destination market.
Depending on the project, formulations may include PBAT, PLA, starch-based components, and suitable additives.
The final material formulation should be confirmed together with the required finished-product performance and certification.
For regulated projects, we recommend checking the relevant certificate scope before mass production.
Compostability Certification Options
Certification requirements vary by country, product specification, and composting system.
Depending on the final product and applicable certificate scope, available certification programs may include:
| Market / Application | Certification Options |
|---|---|
| United States | ASTM D6400 / BPI |
| European Union | EN 13432 |
| Industrial Composting | TÜV OK compost INDUSTRIAL |
| Home Composting | TÜV OK compost HOME where applicable |
| Australia | AS 4736 / AS 5810 where applicable |
Certification applicability should always be confirmed against the finished bag specification.
Factors such as material formulation, film thickness, printing, color masterbatch, additives, and finished structure may affect the applicable scope.
Certificate copies and relevant scope information can be provided to qualified buyers for review.
For factory and certification information, visit our Manufacturer & Certification Verification Center.
13 Gallon Compostable Bags for the U.S. Market
For buyers selling compostable kitchen bags in the United States, ASTM D6400 and BPI requirements are often important for commercial composting applications.
If your project requires BPI-related certification, the final material formulation, thickness, printing, color, and finished product configuration should be reviewed before certification applicability is confirmed.
Tell us your destination market and required certification when requesting a quotation.

FAQ
A 13 gallon bag is designed for bins with an approximate capacity of 49–50 liters.
There is no single universal flat dimension. The correct width and length depend on the trash-can opening, height, overhang, and bag construction.
For more detail, see our 13 gallon trash bag dimensions guide.
Common OEM options include 18 μm, 20 μm, and 25 μm.
Lighter applications may use 18 μm, while heavier kitchen or wet-waste applications may require 20–25 μm.
The final thickness should be selected according to waste load and required performance.
Standard customized production typically starts from approximately 500 kg per specification or design.
The equivalent number of bags or rolls depends on dimensions, thickness, and packing configuration.
Yes.
Custom logo printing, film colors, roll configuration, labels, sleeves, and retail boxes can be developed for private-label orders.
BPI-related options may be available depending on the final material formulation, film thickness, printing, color, and finished-product configuration.
Certification scope should be confirmed before mass production and artwork approval.
Usually, but not always. A 13 gallon compost bin can be tall and narrow or short and wide, so gallon capacity alone does not guarantee the correct fit.
Check the bin opening width, depth or diameter, and height before confirming the liner size. For bulk orders, you can send us the container dimensions or model specification and we can recommend a suitable bag size.
Yes. Stock samples are available for material and performance evaluation.
Custom prototypes may also be discussed depending on the final specification.
