Need to know the square inches per pound of film? Here's a chart of several types of film with several film thicknesses.
This chart is for reference only. Film with a coating or other treatment would have a different density.
To calculate the yield of a square inch of film, multiply the thickness (gauge) by the density, then divide by 27.68.
We specialize in providing custom printed packaging materials. We also supply large-quantity orders of consumable packaging materials, such as shrink film, roll bags, shipping cases, case sealing tape, strapping material, corner boards, and stretch film.
Please contact Pro Pac or call 888-318-0083 for your packaging materials.
