A quart-size bag, as approved by the TSA for carrying liquids in carry-on luggage, typically measures about 6 inches by 9 inches or 7 inches by 8 inches. This size corresponds to a volume of approximately 1 quart (about 946 milliliters or 32 ounces)
. The bag is usually a clear, plastic, zip-top pouch that allows TSA agents to quickly inspect the contents without opening it. While some slight variations in dimensions exist (such as 7.5 x 8.5 inches or similar), the key requirement is that the bag holds no more than about one quart in volume to comply with the TSA's 3-1-1 liquids rule
. In summary, a standard TSA quart-size bag is roughly:
- Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches or 7 x 8 inches
- Volume: 1 quart (32 oz or ~946 ml)
- Material: Clear plastic with a resealable zip-top
This size ensures the bag fits easily through airport security checks and meets regulatory requirements for carrying liquids on planes
