Following are calculations to figure M-weights on different products. We find it beneficial to the distributor to approximate the weight for an order. M-weight is the weight per thousand sheets.

For Plain Chipboard, Pasted and Claycoated.
Length x Width  ÷ 144 x (Factor) = M Weight
Example for 30 x 48 .025 Chip
30 x 48 ÷ 144 x 85 = 850M

Below is the caliper with the corresponding factor to calculate an M-weight.

Caliper Chip Claycoated Caliper Pasted
Factor Factor Factor

.020 76 82 .060 200
.022 80 88 .070 245
.025 85 96 .080 279
.030 103 120 .100 350
.035 120 136 .120 419
.042 144 160 .130 454
.045 153 140 490

For Utility Chipboard, Wallboard, Creamface, 620 News etc.
Length X Width X 375 ÷ 1000 = M-Weight.
Example: 40 x 48 X 375 ÷ 1000 = 720# per thousand sheets

For Kraft, Newsprint, Butcher, Bleach, Deli, Meat Wrap and Tissue in Sheets
Length X Width X Basis Weight ÷ 432 = Weight per 1,000 Sheets
Example: 36 x 48 x 50 (BS. 50) ÷ 432 = 200# per 1,000 Sheets

For Kraft, Butcher, Bleach, Deli and News in rolls:
Length x 12 X Basis Weight ÷ 432 x Lineal Feet = Weight per roll
Example for 36” BS 40 Natural Kraft 1275’
36” x 12 x 40 (BS. 40) ÷ 432 x 1275= 51# per roll.

Lineal Footage

Standard Kraft Counter Roll Standard Butcher & Deli
BS 30 1625’ BS 30 1625’
BS 40 1275’ BS 40 1300’
BS 50 1025’ BS 50 1100’
BS 60 825’
BS 75 650’

TIP: If 100% recycled kraft is marked standard lineal footage and is 9” in diameter or less it would be doubtful if the roll contained the correct lineal footage. 100% Recycled Kraft is a thicker sheet of paper than virgin paper.
