BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Film path = (height / supplied pitch) × hypot(2(width + length), pitch) + additional complete turns × perimeter + tail extra. Does not recommend film tension, wrap layers, load restraint or safe pallet handling.

Film path = (height / supplied pitch) × hypot(2(width + length), pitch) + additional complete turns × perimeter + tail extra.Calculated with normalised units

Continuous film rolls: 2 rolls

Continuous cuts use decreasing-length first-fit packing. This is a feasible count, not a guarantee of the minimum. Any per-cut extra is explicitly reserved by you. Uses a rectangular perimeter helix with no stretch conversion, tension recommendation or corner deformation model.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.

Does not recommend film tension, wrap layers, load restraint or safe pallet handling.
