How to Fold a Plastic Bag to Maximize Space

Lay out the plastic bag flat and fairly neat

Fold it in half, length-ways so the ‘handles’ match up with each other.

Fold it in half again in the same manner

Starting from the bottom, fold the corner up so it forms a triangle

Now fold it up at the crease, and repeat this process all the way to the top

At the top, fold the handles down and tuck it into the opening. If the opening isn’t facing the right way, just fold or unfold once.
