FILM THICKNESS GUIDE

PE film and bag thickness: microns to mm

50 μm equals 0.05 mm. Before comparing film or bag specifications, check that both the units and the number of layers measured are the same.

Convert microns and millimetres

1 mm equals 1,000 μm. Divide a value in μm by 1,000 to convert it to mm. These examples are unit conversions, not a statement of Hanafilm’s available manufacturing thicknesses.

  • 30 μm = 0.03 mm
  • 50 μm = 0.05 mm
  • 100 μm = 0.10 mm
  • Check whether a document labelled micron is using μm.

Distinguish one film layer from two sides of a bag

A measurement through a closed bag, a fold or a seal can differ from a single-layer film measurement. State the number of layers, measurement location and instrument used. A photo or ordinary ruler alone cannot establish the thickness of thin film.

Thickness alone does not establish strength or suitability

Material, bag format, sealing, contents and use conditions also need review. Send the size, weight and edges of the contents, the packing process and existing product information. The required specification and production feasibility are confirmed during the enquiry.

QUESTIONS TO CHECK

Questions buyers often check

How many mm is 50 μm?

50 μm equals 0.05 mm. There are 1,000 μm in 1 mm, so divide the micron value by 1,000.

Can I reorder a bag based only on its thickness?

Thickness alone does not establish that two products are equivalent. Check the material, width and length, folds and seals, contents and quantity units as well.

How do I enquire if I do not know the thickness?

Send photos, labels and any existing specification. If you have a measurement, include its unit, the number of layers measured and the measurement location. Leave unknown details marked as unconfirmed.
