Bag Selection

Bag Selection Tool

Single bag analysis and optimal bag selection with on-demand 3D rendering.

How to use this tool Bag dimensions, sealing allowance, max quantity, Top 5 selection, and result interpretation.

What the tool does

The Bag Selection Tool checks how many identical products fit inside a flat bag and estimates the required flat bag size for the arrangement.

How to use the modes

Single bag analysis tests one selected bag and calculates the maximum quantity that fits.

Optimal bag searches the packaging catalogue and ranks the Top 5 suitable bag options for the target quantity.

Single: Product + 1 bag → max quantity Optimal: Product + target qty + catalogue → Top 5
  • Use Single mode when you already know which bag to test.
  • Use Optimal mode when you want the tool to recommend candidate bags.
  • In Optimal mode, select a Top 5 candidate to generate the bag preview. PDF reports are available with KolliPack Plus.

Bag dimensions and sealing

Bag dimensions are flat dimensions in the selected display unit and are normalized to millimetres for calculation. The tool treats bag length and bag width as physical directions, not interchangeable labels.

Length
Includes sealing + tolerance Width
Opening span + tolerance only
  • The opening runs across the bag width.
  • The free sealing area is reserved along the bag length direction.
  • The graphic keeps this sealing area free; products should not visually consume it.

Interpreting results

The preview is a decision-support representation of the selected arrangement. The selected bag remains the real bag size; the required dimensions explain the minimum flat bag size for the arrangement.

Max qty
Maximum units that fit Bag usage
Required bag area vs. selected bag area Net weight
Product weight × quantity Total weight
Net weight + packaging weight Payload usage
Net weight vs. max payload Remaining capacity
Extra units that could fit
Use the unit shown beside each product dimension and weight field. Bag fit is based on canonical flat-bag geometry, sealing allowance, tolerance, and product orientation. Final packaging choice should still be physically validated for sealing quality, product protection, handling, branding, and transport requirements.
Product
Manual dimensions with selectable units, or product catalogue selection.
Design calculates bag dimensions; Single and Optimal evaluate existing packaging.
Single bag analysis calculates the maximum quantity automatically. Desired quantity is used in Design and Optimal modes.
Product shape affects the 3D visualization only. Packing calculations use the entered rectangular bounding dimensions.

These fixed shared-engine allowances are shown for transparency. Sealing is reserved along bag length; width receives tolerance only.
Packaging weight and max payload are optional. They are used only for weight and payload calculations.

3D rendering is generated only after selecting one Top 5 candidate.

Bag width and length are calculated outputs in Design Mode.
Result
Clean bag preview with capacity, usage and weight summary.
Run a single analysis to calculate max quantity, or select one Top 5 candidate to generate the result.
