Running length of label stock for job.

Happy to see you here.

Hope you are well ! 

In this blog, I am going to share a most important formulae used in label printing industry. 

I am using this formulae to know how much length of label stock required to print the given job.

The formulae is written as: 

Running Meters =    R.Length x Quantity

                                     ________________________

                                       No. Of ups x 1000

Where, 

1.) R. Length means the circumference of printing plate cylinder.

*It is generally given in Teeth.

For example:  92T

So, we have to convert in mm by multiply with 3.175mm

= 92 x 3.175mm = 292.1mm 

2.) No of ups means the no of around label into across label.

3.) Quantity = Total no of label required.

Sample question : 

Cylinder teeth : 92T

No of around label : 4

No of across label : 4

Quantity : 100000

Solution :

R.Length : 92 x 3.175mm = 292.1 mm

Running meter = 292.1 x 100000

                                ________________

                                    16 x 1000

                             = 1826 metre.

Hence, To print the 100000 label requires 1826 metre label stock.
