1. Roll Weight Calculator

Calculate the gross and net weight of a stretch film roll

📖 What is Roll Weight?

Roll weight refers to the total weight of a finished stretch film roll including the plastic core. In stretch film production, knowing the precise roll weight is critical for inventory management, transportation cost calculation, and customer billing. Net weight is the weight of film only (without core).

Formula:

Core OD (mm) = Core ID + (2 × Wall Thickness)
Volume (cm³) = (π ÷ 4) × [(OD/10)² − (CoreOD/10)²] × (Width/10)
Film Wt (kg) = Volume × Density ÷ 1000
Gross Wt (kg) = Film Wt + Core Wt
─────────────────────────────────────────
Film Length (m) = (π ÷ 4) × (OD² − CoreOD²) ÷ Micron × 1000 [all in mm, µm]

Enter Roll OD, Core ID + Wall Thickness (OD auto-filled), Film Width, Micron (thickness in µm), and Density. Calculator gives both Roll Weight (from geometry+density) and Film Length in meters (from geometry+micron). Core weight field is optional — use Core Weight Calculator below.

PP Stretch Film	0.900 – 0.910	500mm	20–25 microns
Pre-Stretch Film	0.918 – 0.922	500mm	8–12 microns

📏

2. Film Length / Yardage Calculator

Calculate total meters of film on a roll

📖 Why Calculate Film Length?

Film length (also called yardage) determines how many wraps a roll can provide on a pallet. It is specified in customer orders, and directly affects the price per meter. The length is calculated from the roll geometry and film thickness.

Core OD (mm) = Core ID + (2 × Wall Thickness)
Thickness (mm) = Micron ÷ 1000
Length (mm) = (π ÷ 4) × (Roll OD² − Core OD²) ÷ Thickness_mm
Length (m) = Length (mm) ÷ 1000
──────────────────────────────────────────────
Width cancels out — Length depends only on Roll OD, Core OD, and Micron.

Enter Micron directly (e.g. 20). Core OD is auto-calculated from Core ID + Wall Thickness. No manual OD needed.

3. GSM & Thickness Calculator

Convert between GSM, thickness (micron), and density

📖 Understanding GSM and Micron

GSM (Grams per Square Meter) is the weight per unit area of film. Micron (µm) is the thickness unit (1 micron = 0.001 mm = 0.000001 m). Both are interchangeable using density:

GSM = Thickness (micron) × Density (g/cm³)
Thickness (micron) = GSM ÷ Density (g/cm³)

Example: 20 micron LLDPE = 20 × 0.920 = 18.4 GSM

4. Cardboard Core Weight Calculator

Estimate the weight of paper/cardboard cores

📖 Core Weight Importance

The cardboard core (tube) adds to gross roll weight. Knowing core weight allows accurate net film weight calculation, which affects pricing and specification compliance. Standard stretch film cores are 3-inch (76mm OD), 2-inch (52mm OD). Cardboard density ≈ 1.0–1.2 g/cm³.

OD (mm) = ID + (2 × Wall Thickness)
Volume (mm³) = (π ÷ 4) × (OD² − ID²) × Length
Volume (cm³) = Volume (mm³) ÷ 1000
Weight (g) = Volume (cm³) × Density (g/cm³)
Weight (kg) = Weight (g) ÷ 1000
─────────────────────────────────────────────
Short: Wt (kg) = (π÷4) × (OD²−ID²) × Length × Density ÷ 1,000,000

✅ Example: ID=76, Wall=5 → OD=86, L=460, Density=0.73
Vol = (π÷4)×(86²−76²)×460 = 585,279 mm³ = 585.28 cm³
Wt = 585.28 × 0.73 ÷ 1000 = 0.427 kg

Enter ID (Inner Diameter) and Wall Thickness. OD auto-fills. Paper/cardboard core density ≈ 0.65–0.80 g/cm³ (default 0.73) — NOT 1.10 which is solid material density.

5. Production Output Calculator

Calculate daily/shift kg output from extruder line speed

📖 Line Speed to Output Conversion

In stretch film extrusion, the line speed (meters per minute or m/min) combined with film dimensions determines how many kilograms of film are produced per hour or per shift. This helps plan production schedules and raw material consumption.

Output (kg/hr) = Line Speed (m/min) × 60 × Width (m) × Thickness (m) × Density (g/cm³) × 1000

7. Stretch Ratio & Elongation Calculator

Calculate stretch ratio, pre-stretch %, and effective gauge

📖 Stretch Ratio & Pre-Stretch

Stretch film is stretched during application (hand wrap or machine wrap). The stretch ratio determines how much the film elongates. Pre-stretch (on machine wraps) can extend film up to 250–300% of its original length, reducing material cost per pallet.

Stretch % = [(Stretched Length − Original Length) / Original Length] × 100
Effective Thickness (µm) = Original Thickness ÷ (1 + Stretch% / 100)
Effective GSM = Original GSM ÷ (1 + Stretch% / 100)

Production Tips

Best practices for stretch film manufacturing

Core Size MattersStandard 3-inch (76mm) cores are most common. 2-inch cores for light-duty rolls. Always weigh cores in batches for accuracy.

Density VariationResin density can vary batch to batch. Always verify with the resin supplier's Certificate of Analysis (COA).

Gauge ToleranceIndustry standard allows ±10% thickness tolerance. Use calibrated gauges for QC at least every 30 minutes.

Pre-Stretch SavingsPre-stretched film at 250% stretch uses ~3× less material per pallet wrap vs non-stretch application.

Temperature EffectsFilm density slightly decreases at higher temperatures. Store resin and film in stable temperature conditions.

Waste BenchmarksWorld-class stretch film plants achieve <2% startup/changeover waste. Average is 3–5%.
