Unit converter

The units designers actually bounce between: length, weight, volume, and board caliper. Type in either field and the other updates. Caliper points here are board points (1 pt = 0.001 in), not typographic points.

Length

Inches, millimeters, centimeters, feet.

Weight

Ounces, grams, pounds, kilograms.

Volume

Cubic inches, cubic feet, liters, milliliters, fluid ounces.

Board caliper

Points, mils, inches, millimeters. Board points and mils are the same thing (0.001 in); paperboard is usually quoted in points, plastic film in mils.

Common paperboard calipers: 14 pt and 16 pt for lightweight cartons, 18 pt to 24 pt for standard folding cartons, 28 pt and up for rigid setups and heavy blister cards.
