Whats the diameter of a 50 meter roll??

[Phill Fenton]

Different brands and ranges will differ slightly – but assume about 150mm

[Hugh Potter]

i’d go nearer 175mm Phil,

[Phill Fenton]

I reckon I must have been short changed on a full roll of vinyl then

😕

[Fred McLean]

will differ on material & liner thickness, but wouldn’t have thought 25mm!!!

Just opened a roll of thickish over laminate……150 mm dia.

[Cheryl Smith]

full roll just delivered 150mm

[Phillip Patterson]

thanx guys appreciate that. Will be using my new found knowledge in the making of a rack for me rolls 😀

[Phill Fenton]

Something else to consider….

When I built all my racks I set these to accommodate rolls for a 610mm width. A year or so later my main supplier changed the width from 610mm to 620mm. Fortunately I had made my racks slightly wider than required so the new width still fits (but only just).

Avery 2000… 155mm for 50mtrs

I’m just wondering how many have seen this thread and have done what I’ve just done

Taken a tape measure and measured a full roll

(Hugh! 175mm? are we talking magnetic roll here? 🙂 )

[Harry Cleary]

This is annoying me now, have just had 3 full rolls delivered and decided to check….Avery 528. The roll diameters are 142mm 140mm – 145 mm. Quie a few turns to get to 150mm And the ends have been cut with a knife. 😮 Should I be calling my supplier? 🙁

[David Rowland]

you could always get the hi-quality digital scales out

[Steve Morgan]

There could also be a variation in how tight the material is wound onto the core, just a tiny variation would easily account for 5mm on diameter.

[Harry Cleary]

It was more the way the roll was cut/hacked that annoyed me and only one piece of tape holding it, when it’s normally 2. I doubt it left the factory that way.
Rang them about it so we shall see.
Nice wee scam for a warehouse packer/part time signmaker 😀

Unless I’m mistaken, the 500 series is real estate grade, I’d call shrinkage variation lol
