PE Films Weights and Measures


Complimentary Slide Rule Complimentary Slide Rule
                                                                     Complimentary Slide Rule ca. 1976




Polyethylene (PE) film extruders buy PE resin by the pound or kilogram and sell PE film by the pound or kilogram.
Whether LDPE film is invoiced by the pound, 1000 lineal feet, 1000 square inches (MSI), lineal yard or 1000 bags, it is sold by weight.

You need to know how a pound of film translates to cost per package.

Choose one of the calculators below and simply input the dimensions of the package in either English or Metric units to derive the weight per 1,000 packages then multiply by the price per pound for cost per 1,000 packages.

We have endeavored to make this so easy there is no math required. Any feedback would be appreciated.
