Question: Mark Records of Smith Valley, NV asks “How do I figure out how many pieces of 5″ x 7″ I can get out of a full roll of magnet sheet?  I am currently using 50′ long rolls and there seems to be a lot of scrap.  Are there different size rolls on the market?  I look forward to any suggestions. ”

Answer: Hello Mark.  The easiest way I know to calculate yield is to use Adams on-line sheet calculator.    This is a great automated tool that will take whatever magnet sheet size you input and give you a piece count.  This will enable you to quickly calculate the yield of our various size rolls.  Magnet sheet is commonly supplied in 50′ and 100′ roll lengths, but is available as long as 600′ by special order depending on the thickness.
