How to Use This Bag Volume Calculator

This tool helps you estimate the internal capacity of a bag or pouch using just the dimensions you already know. It works for flat bags, stand-up pouches, zipper bags, and more.

What You’ll See

After entering your measurements, you’ll get an approximate volume shown in different units—use whichever is most useful for your product or packaging type.

Who Uses This?

Online sellers, small manufacturers, warehouse teams, food packagers, and DIY crafters all use this calculator to quickly understand how much space a bag provides.

No Email, No Downloads

Can This Help Me Pick the Right Bag?

Yes—whether you're choosing packaging for a new product or mailing samples, knowing the volume of a bag helps you avoid over- or under-packing. For example, two bags might look similar in size but hold very different amounts if one has side gussets or a stand-up base. This calculator makes that difference obvious.
