How Many Meters of Edge Banding Can You Get Per 3 Jin (kg)? A Comprehensive Guide381

As a leading edge banding manufacturer in China, we frequently receive inquiries about the relationship between weight (measured in *jin*, the Chinese unit of weight, approximately equivalent to 0.5 kilograms) and length (measured in meters) of our edge banding products. The question, "How many meters of edge banding can you get per 3 jin?" is a common one, and understandably so, as it directly relates to cost and material usage for our valued customers. The answer, however, isn't a simple one-size-fits-all. Several factors influence the final meterage you'll receive for a given weight.

Firstly, the material itself plays a crucial role. We offer a wide range of edge banding materials, each with its own unique density. Consider these examples:
PVC edge banding: PVC is a relatively lightweight material. A 3 *jin* (1.5kg) roll of thin PVC edge banding will yield considerably more meters than a 3 *jin* roll of thicker PVC banding. The thickness variations, ranging from 0.4mm to 3mm, dramatically impact the overall length.
Melamine edge banding: Melamine edge banding often has a paper overlay on a particleboard core. The density of the core and the thickness of the paper layer contribute to its overall weight. Therefore, a 3 *jin* roll of melamine banding might have a shorter meterage compared to a similarly weighted PVC roll.
ABS edge banding: ABS edge banding is known for its durability and resistance to impact. It tends to be denser than PVC, meaning a 3 *jin* roll will generally have a shorter length compared to PVC of the same weight.
Wood veneer edge banding: Wood veneer edge banding varies greatly depending on the type of wood used. A heavier wood like oak will yield fewer meters per 3 *jin* than a lighter wood like pine. The thickness of the veneer also impacts the final length.

Secondly, the width of the edge banding significantly affects the length per weight. A wider roll of edge banding will naturally weigh more per meter than a narrower one. For instance, 20mm wide banding will weigh more than 10mm wide banding for the same length. Therefore, 3 *jin* of 20mm banding will yield fewer meters than 3 *jin* of 10mm banding.

Thirdly, the roll's core contributes to the overall weight. The cardboard core within the roll adds weight but doesn't contribute to the usable edge banding length. Larger diameter cores will increase the total weight without a proportional increase in usable material. This is particularly noticeable with smaller rolls.

To illustrate, let's consider some hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario 1: 0.4mm thick PVC edge banding, 20mm wide. 3 *jin* might yield approximately 150-200 meters. This is a rough estimate, and the actual meterage could vary slightly depending on the manufacturer's tolerances.
Scenario 2: 2mm thick PVC edge banding, 20mm wide. 3 *jin* would likely yield significantly fewer meters, perhaps only around 30-50 meters due to the increased thickness and resulting density.
Scenario 3: 1mm thick Melamine edge banding, 25mm wide. The final meterage will likely fall between the PVC examples, possibly around 80-120 meters.

It's crucial to understand that these are estimations. To obtain the precise meterage for a specific 3 *jin* order, we strongly recommend contacting our sales team directly. Provide the following information for an accurate quote:
Desired material (PVC, Melamine, ABS, Wood Veneer, etc.): Specify the type and if possible the exact brand and model.
Thickness: State the exact thickness of the edge banding in millimeters.
Width: Indicate the width of the edge banding in millimeters.

Providing this information allows us to accurately calculate the length of edge banding you'll receive per 3 *jin* and ensure you receive the correct amount of material for your project. Our team is always ready to assist you and provide tailored solutions to meet your specific needs. We value your business and strive to provide the highest quality edge banding with excellent customer service.

Remember, weight is just one factor to consider. Always prioritize specifying the exact material properties for a precise calculation of the edge banding length you require.
