Calculate paper weight

Weight of paper and printing materials (flyers, brochures, etc.)

Paper weight should be calculated by using the following formula

Sheet size (cm) × paper weight (g/m²) / 10,000 × sheets = total weight

Example

DIN A4 with 105 g/m², 16 sheets
(21 × 29,7) × 105 / 10.000 = 6,55 g × 16 sheets = 104,78 g

Optional values can be set if necessary

Cellophane glossy: approx. 20 g/m² per sheet
Cellophane matt: approx. 25 g/m² per sheet
Colour spread: approx. 2 g/m² (depending on ink coverage)
