Corrugated Sheet Weight Calculator

Calculate the net weight of a corrugated sheet and a sheet order from actual sheet dimensions and complete-board GSM.

Use a saved product specification (optional)

First time using this calculator?

Replace the example values with figures from your supplier sheet or measurements. Choose the unit beside each value. Results update as you type; fix any highlighted field before using the result.

GSM means grams per square metre. Net weight excludes the core and other packaging. MOQ means the minimum order quantity. An optional field can stay blank unless the result you need depends on it.

Prices keep the selected currency; changing its label does not convert an exchange rate. Save or export the result after checking your inputs.

g/m²
Help with actual board gsm

GSM is the weight of one square metre of material, in grams. Find it on the supplier specification; use the complete laminate value for layered film.

Weight per sheet

0.4800 kg/sheet
Total sheet weight480.000 kg
Area per sheet0.9600 m²

Use actual board GSM. Flute designation, ECT and BCT do not determine basis weight.

Sheet kg = length (m) × width (m) × board GSM ÷ 1,000; total kg = sheet kg × quantity

0.8 × 1.2 × 500 ÷ 1,000 = 0.48 kg; × 1,000 = 480 kg

How sensitive is this result to your assumptions?

Vary one input and inspect weight per sheet

All other entered inputs stay fixed. Ranges are your scenarios, not statistical confidence or supplier performance predictions. This uses the same validated calculator engine.

The formula, made clear.

Weight/sheet (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Board GSM ÷ 1,000

Sheet area multiplied by complete-board basis weight gives the material mass before any die cutting. Multiply by sheet quantity for the order total. Enter measured or supplier-declared board GSM, including all liners and fluting. Flute designation and wall construction describe the board but do not uniquely establish its basis weight.

How to use this calculator

  1. 01

    Enter the supplied sheet length and width.

  2. 02

    Enter complete-board GSM and sheet quantity.

  3. 03

    Read weight per sheet and total net board weight.

Check the displayed formula and units against your quotation. Use measured GSM, net weight and actual layout dimensions where available. Default densities are planning assumptions, not certified material properties. Calculated cost does not certify strength, compatibility or safe loading.
