Understanding Film Thickness Units

Different industries and regions specify plastic film thickness using different measurement systems.

  • Gauge – Commonly used in North American plastic film specifications

  • Mil – Widely used in packaging and converting applications

  • Micron – Standard unit used in international markets

Using a conversion reference helps ensure the correct material thickness is selected for packaging, lamination, and converting requirements.
