Shrink Film Cost per Bundle Calculator
Enter the full opened web width, twice the folded width for centre-fold film. Cut length comes from the actual qualified process, not a guessed product perimeter.

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.
Help with measured film 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.
Help with price per kg
Use the price for one kilogram of the quoted material, excluding freight unless the quote explicitly combines them.
Help with loss on gross input
Use a measured or supplier-confirmed percentage where possible. Check whether it applies to gross input or finished output; the formula below shows the basis used here.
Label only; no exchange-rate conversion.
Film cost per good bundle
Cost/bundle = Width(m) × Cut length(m) × GSM/1,000 ÷ (1 − Loss%) × Price/kg
width = 600; length = 800; gsm = 60; price = 2.5; loss = 5 → Film cost per good bundle = 0.07578947368 currency/bundleSaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.

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.
Enter the full opened web width, twice the folded width for centre-fold film. Cut length comes from the actual qualified process, not a guessed product perimeter.
How to use this calculator
- 01
Confirm total opened film width, qualified cut length per bundle, measured film gsm, price per kg, loss on gross input.
- 02
Enter consistent units; zero means a confirmed absence of a charge or allowance.
- 03
Review the arithmetic, rounding and limitations before using the result in a purchasing decision.

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.
