Film Weight Calculator

How to use it

1. Enter the film width in inches.
2. Enter the length in feet.
3. Enter the film thickness (gauge) in mil.
4. The weight appears in pounds and kilograms as you type.

Example

A 24″ wide, 2 mil sheet that is 1,000 ft long: 24 × 1,000 × 12 × 2 ÷ 30,000 = 19.2 lb (8.7 kg).

Good to know

• This is for a single layer of film. For tubing or bags, which have two layers, double the thickness, or use the width of both sides.
• Results are estimates. Additives, colour concentrates and blends change the density slightly.
• For bags, the MOQ calculator works out weight per 1,000 bags and how many bags make a minimum run.
