Example


Find the linear footage (and yardage) for a 1000# roll of 36" wide, basis 60# Gloss Text paper.

Formula:

 (Roll Weight x [Area of Basic Size]) x 500 

(Basis Weight x Roll Width) x 12

   =   Linear
Feet 		  ÷ 3  =   Linear
Yards

Equation:

 (1,000 × [25 × 38]) × 500 

(60 × 36) × 12

  =  18,326
Linear Feet 		  ÷ 3  =   6,109
Linear Yards

 
*  Results are rounded to the nearest foot or yard.
