Matthews Sandbags come in a variety of shapes and weights. They are used for securing the bases of light stands and set walls. Many have handles, for hanging on hooks or risers. Some have two wings, to allow draping over light stand legs.
Most are cordura nylon, some are vinyl covered and waterproof.
Some models of sandbags are shipped empty, for convenience and economy. They can be filled with sand, or any type of weight you provide, and emptied for storage, or transport.

Q: 3. Box dimensions, please?

A: Not sure what you mean by box dimensions but the order came in a small bag. All 6 are empty and folded. They altogether measure @ 5' (thickness of all 6) x 13 x 9 , unfilled. How much sand you need to fill the bags depends on how much weight you are trying to hold in place. There should be a formula for this somewhere.. now I need a trip to the beach!
