What do paper roll sizes such as 57x40x12 or 80x80x12 mean?

Sizes such as 57x40x12 or 80x80x12 give the dimensions of a paper roll in millimetres, in this order: width x roll diameter x core diameter. A 57x40x12 roll is therefore 57 mm wide, has a roll diameter of 40 mm and a 12 mm core. An 80x80x12 roll is 80 mm wide, has a roll diameter of 80 mm and a 12 mm core.

Because of differences in paper weight and paper thickness, the actual roll diameter can differ from the diameter in the roll name. So always check the maximum roll diameter your device can take. Compare the roll length too: rolls with the same size designation do not necessarily contain the same amount of paper.
