Overview
kSIST FprEN ISO 8367-1:2026 sets out dimensional tolerances for paper sacks manufactured for general purposes. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in alignment with international practices, this standard is the first part of the ISO 8367 series, focusing on paper sacks as defined in ISO 6590-1. It ensures consistency and uniformity in the production and measurement of paper sacks, which are widely used across various industries for packaging and transporting diverse products.
The standard provides a clear framework for manufacturers, suppliers, and purchasers by specifying permissible variation limits in dimensions and grammage of paper sacks. Adoption of the standard supports quality assurance, supply chain integration, and regulatory compliance in packaging operations.
Key Topics
Dimensional Tolerances: The standard defines acceptable tolerances for the key dimensions of paper sacks, including length, width, bottom width, gussets, and valve openings. These tolerances help prevent inconsistencies in storage, transport, and filling operations.
Grammage Specifications: It lays out permissible tolerance levels for the grammage of single and total plies (layers) of paper, including specific requirements for coated paper and sacks incorporating polyethylene (PE) film.
Measurement and Sampling Methods: Guidance on the measurement of each sack dimension and grammage is given by cross-referencing established standards such as ISO 536 and ISO 6591-1. The standard also references ISO 7023 for sampling empty sacks for testing, which helps to ensure representative quality checks.
Purchaser-Supplier Agreement: Where stricter tolerances are needed for specialized applications, the standard encourages direct agreements between purchasers and suppliers to tailor requirements accordingly.
Applications
The provisions of kSIST FprEN ISO 8367-1:2026 are valuable for:
- Packaging Manufacturers: Ensuring processes meet consistent and recognized dimensional and quality criteria for paper sacks.
- Product Suppliers and Distributors: Specifying and verifying paper sack quality in procurement contracts, especially where uniformity is critical to logistics or product safety.
- Quality Control Laboratories: Applying internationally harmonized methods for sampling and testing of paper sacks, supporting both compliance and customer confidence.
- End-User Industries: Such as food, chemicals, agriculture, and construction materials, where the proper sizing and integrity of sacks directly impact operational efficiency and product protection.
Following standard dimensional tolerances helps prevent issues in product handling, enhances compatibility with automated filling and palletizing systems, and reduces waste due to bag failures or misfits.
Related Standards
kSIST FprEN ISO 8367-1:2026 builds on and is used alongside several key international standards in the packaging industry:
- ISO 6590-1: Packaging - Vocabulary - Part 1: Paper sacks - Standard definitions used in relation to paper sack types and components.
- ISO 536: Paper and board - Determination of grammage - Central for assessing the mass per unit area of sack plies.
- ISO 6591-1: Packaging - Dimensions and method of measurement - Part 1: Paper sacks - Guidelines for dimensioning and measuring sacks.
- ISO 7023: Packaging - Sacks - Method of sampling empty sacks for testing - Ensures statistically sound sampling for quality assurance.
Professional adherence to kSIST FprEN ISO 8367-1:2026 and its related standards supports the production of reliable, high-quality paper sacks, facilitating worry-free packaging, transport, and storage globally. For the most current requirements and best practices, users are encouraged to consult their national standards body or the ISO online platform.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
