Bags are storage items that, like barrels and bins, conserve stockpile space by containing several seeds of the same type, as well as allowing for the collection and storage of edible leaves and edible and inedible powders (eg. flour, dye, and sand). Bags can be made at a Clothier's workshop out of 1 plant, silk, or yarn cloth; or they can be made at a Leatherworker's workshop out of 1 leather. They can also accept all types of decoration.

Bags containing plant-derived items (seeds, leaves, flour, sugar, and dye) are stored in Food stockpiles, and in fact cannot be prevented from being used to store items there so long as the items contained in the bag are permitted. Dwarves will always store seeds in bags whenever possible. If the Food stockpile also allows barrels, then bags containing plant-derived items may then also be stored in barrels, saving even more space.

Empty bags and all other bags except sand bags are stored in Furniture stockpiles under Bags, with the material specified under Other materials (Leather, Plant cloth, Silk). Despite there being an entry for gypsum plaster under Stone/clay, this is ignored and gypsum plaster and quicklime bags will be stored along with your empty bags.

Sand bags have their own category in Furniture stockpiles, Sand bags, and do not require any material type to be selected.

Unlike in previous versions bags can no longer be constructed as storage furniture.
