Inches to Micrometers Converter — Packaging Film Gauge & Shim Stock Foil

Converting decimal inches (in) to micrometers (µm / microns) helps flexible packaging manufacturers, polymer extrusion plant operators, and toolmakers calibrate ultra-thin plastic film gauges and precision brass shim stock. When translating a 0.001-inch food wrap film gauge (25.4 µm) or ordering 0.003-inch metal shim foil (76.2 µm), multiplying inches by 25,400 yields exact metric micrometer thickness values.

Tutorial

How to Use

01
Enter the foil or film thickness in decimal Inches (in).
02
The engine multiplies by 25,400 to determine total Micrometers (µm).
03
Inspect packaging film and shim foil presets (0.0005 in = 12.7 µm, 0.001 in = 25.4 µm, 0.002 in = 50.8 µm, 0.005 in = 127 µm).
04
Set the resulting micrometer thickness on your film extrusion gauge or caliper.

Guidance

Tips & Best Practices

💡
Multiply inches by 25,400 to get micrometers (e.g. 0.002 in × 25,400 = 50.8 µm).
💡
1 mil (0.001 in) = 25.4 microns; 2 mils (0.002 in) = 50.8 microns.
