Video transcript

  1. 0:00Size a huge shopping bag by four numbers, not an adjective.
  2. 0:05'XL' means something different to every supplier. A litre of water weighs about a kilogram, and people fill to the rim, so the handle seam fails first.
  3. 0:16Size the gusset for the bulkiest item. Width times height times gusset in centimetres, over one thousand, gives litres. Usable volume is less, so ask for litres.
  4. 0:28Rate the bag at its real full load and prove it: load, walk, repeat, then check handle joints, base corners and side seams.
  5. 0:39Test handle drop on your shortest and tallest carriers; two handle lengths beat one compromise. Then fold the sample and check it fits where users keep bags.
  6. 0:50Too bulky to carry along? Give up some volume.
  7. 0:55Send your litres, load rating, gusset and handle drop for a quote.
