❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔹
Why do I need to subtract core weight?
The paper core adds weight but no tape length. A 500g roll might have only 422g of actual tape - that's 78g of paper core you're paying for!
🔹
How accurate is this calculator?
With correct inputs, accuracy is 99.9%. The formula is based on fundamental physics - mass, volume, and density relationship.
🔹
Can I use this for any BOPP tape?
Yes! Works for all types - transparent, colored, printed, single/double sided. Core parameters are industry standard.
🔹
How much money can I save?
Companies save ₹15,000-25,000 daily by eliminating errors. Small businesses save 10-15% on tape purchases.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on standard industry parameters (76mm core ID, 4mm thickness, density 0.91). Actual values may vary slightly by manufacturer. Always verify with physical measurement for critical applications.
