Size 2, #2 or 10 mm?

Size numbers are a trade habit, not a standard. A US #2 medium roll is 3/8 in, about 9.5 mm across, while a European Size 2 is 10 mm, and brands differ by a millimetre or so for the same number. That is why we quote by diameter and length in millimetres. To match the rolls you buy now, send a photo next to a ruler or post us a few rolls.

Besides the four standard sizes, we make any diameter from 8 to 30 mm and cut rolls to any length. Tell us the diameter and length you need.
