Very informative. What if you're flow wrapping a cylindrical product like a pretzel rod? What is the formula?

Wow! What a timely video. I’ll be needing some film to wrap a package soon and this was very helpful.

Very Helpful, keep it up

Does that include the fin seal? Can't the size/width of the seal vary depending on the flow wrap machine? Also, do you have a formula for the length? That is usually the tricky part for me. Give a little wiggle room so that a product slightly displaced is not chopped off by the end sealer.

Thanks for sharing! Do you know of a place to order sustainable rolls?

Will it work for metric film after conversion?

Where does the 1.5” measurement come from?

It is the extra film width needed for fin seal
