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.
