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 process loss
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.
Recurring allocated tape cost
Allocated tape cost/box = Tape/box ÷ (1 − Loss%) × Price/roll ÷ Length/roll
per = 2.6; roll = 66; price = 2.2; loss = 5 → Recurring allocated tape cost = 0.09122807018 currency/boxSaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.

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.
