Useful for

  • Freight and handling estimates
  • Inventory cross-checks
  • Estimating length on an unlabelled roll

03 / BOUNDARIES

Assumptions and limitations

What the estimate assumes

  • GSM and width are uniform across the roll.
  • Weight input is net textile weight.

What it does not model

  • Finish moisture, coating, width variation, and GSM tolerance affect the result.
  • Do not use estimated roll length as the sole basis for inventory or sale.

04 / NOTES

Frequently asked questions

Does roll weight include the cardboard tube?

No. Subtract tubes, cores, wrapping, and other packaging first.

Why can measured length differ?

Actual GSM, moisture, coating add-on, and width can vary along a roll.
