Project calculations by area or weight
Saturating grade papers

There are many projects presented to you that you need to determine "quickly" what quantities need to be ordered or if you have sufficient inventory on hand to meet the requested deadlines. This calculator finds the weight raw paper needed based on the area of the project or finds the area of a roll of untreated saturating grade paper will cover.

• Partial clearing of the calculator is supported - just re-enter the value to a eariler step
• Decimal point accuracy up to five places - default is 2 decimal places (1/100)

• Step 1: enter basis weight in (pounds or grams) in the appropriate field. Note: Grammage & basis weights are usually quoted on raw paper. On printed designs, pigments (ink) can add 3 to 10% to the basis weight depending on the design.
• Step 2: enter the area of the project in square meters or square feet or enter the weight of the roll in Kilo's or pounds
• Press the 'PLANit' button.
