Labels Per Roll Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the number of labels per roll is:

\[ LPR = \frac{RL}{LL + G} \]

Where:

\(LPR\) is the number of labels per roll
\(RL\) is the roll length (inches)
\(LL\) is the label length (inches)
\(G\) is the gap between labels (inches)

What is Labels Per Roll?

Labels per roll is a measure of how many individual labels can be printed or manufactured on a continuous roll of label material. This number is important for production planning and cost estimation in the printing and packaging industries. It ensures that the correct amount of material is used and helps in determining the production capacity.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Roll Length (RL) = 1000 inches
Label Length (LL) = 2 inches
Gap Between Labels (G) = 0.1 inches

Using the formula:

\[ LPR = \frac{1000}{2 + 0.1} = \frac{1000}{2.1} = 476 \]

The number of labels per roll is 476.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Roll Length (RL) = 1500 inches
Label Length (LL) = 3 inches
Gap Between Labels (G) = 0.2 inches

Using the formula:

\[ LPR = \frac{1500}{3 + 0.2} = \frac{1500}{3.2} = 468 \]

The number of labels per roll is 468.
