❓ Why Use This Calculator?

Understanding the importance of accurate length calculation

🚨 The Biggest Industry Problem

"Customer ordered 100 meters, but we only have the roll weight!"
Without this calculator, you're working in the dark. Weight doesn't directly tell you length.

🎯 Key Benefits

🏭

For Manufacturers

QC checking, production planning, quality assurance

🚚

For Suppliers

Accurate billing, inventory management, stock checking

👥

For End Users

Verify purchases, prevent fraud, ensure value for money

💰 The Cost of Being Wrong

❌ Error per roll: 10 meters
❌ Daily production: 1000 rolls
❌ Total error: 10,000 meters/day
❌ Cost per meter: ₹2
⚠️ Daily Loss: ₹20,000

👥 Who Uses This Tool?

✅ Quality Control Managers: Verify every roll meets specifications
✅ Production Planners: Calculate daily output in meters
✅ Inventory Managers: Track stock accurately
✅ Procurement Teams: Verify supplier deliveries

🏭 Manufacturing Unit - Old Way
"Sir, 100 rolls made, weight 52 kg"
"What's the length? - Don't know, trust us"
❌ No quality control
🏭 Manufacturing Unit - With Calculator
Roll weight: 520g
Width: 48mm | Micron: 45µ
✅ Net Length = 228.5 meters (exact)
🏪 Retailer - Old Way
"Brother, this 48mm roll is 100 meters"
"Sure? - Yes, it's written on it"
❌ Blind trust in packaging
🏪 Retailer - With Calculator
Weigh it → 480g
Check micron → 43µ
✅ Actual length = 221.3 meters
⚠️ Claimed 250 meters (Fraud!)

📏 Net Length Calculator Overview

🎯 What It Does

❓ 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.
