Packaging Calculators

11 free calculators built from real flexible packaging plant experience. Film roll weight, GSM ↔ micron, metalliser capacity, converting capacity, minimum manpower and more. No login required.

⚖️

Film Roll Weight

W = L × W/1000 × μm/10⁶ × ρ

Calculate exact roll weight for PET, BOPP, CPP, LDPE or paper from length, width and thickness.

Open →
📏

Roll Length from Weight

L = W / (W/1000 × μm/10⁶ × ρ)

Reverse calculation — find how many metres are in a known-weight roll.

Open →
🎯

Roll OD (Outer Diameter)

OD = √((4×L×μm)/π + (Core ID + 2×Wall)²)

Estimate outer diameter for storage, handling and machine loading decisions.

⚗️

GSM ↔ Micron Conversion

GSM = Micron × Density (g/cm³)

Convert between GSM and micron for PET (1.38), BOPP (0.91), CPP (0.90) and more.

Open →
📊

Production Yield %

Yield = (Output ÷ Input) × 100

Quick yield check for any converting or metallising process.

Open →
🏭

Machine Utilisation %

Running time ÷ Shift time × 100

Measure how much of available shift time the machine was actually running.

Open →
💰

Cost per Square Meter

₹/sqm = ₹/kg × GSM ÷ 1000

Convert material cost from ₹/kg into ₹/sqm for quoting and comparison.

Open →
⚙️

Met M/C Capacity

Cycle → Rolls/day → MT/day

Three-step metalliser capacity: cycle time, rolls per day, then tonnes per day.

Open →
💹

Met Conversion Cost

Actual vs Equivalent ₹/kg · product-mix aware

Calculate actual and equivalent conversion cost with product-mix difficulty factors.

Open →
🏭

Converting Plant Capacity

All machines → MT/day · plant bottleneck

Model multiple machines, speeds and efficiencies to find true plant capacity and bottleneck.

Open →
👥

Min Manpower

Shifts × Machines × Relief × Buffer → Headcount

Same formula as the Man Power app — calculate minimum headcount with relief and buffer.
