When it comes to fabric and material handling, understanding product dimensions is crucial. Whether you’re ordering PVC, ripstop canvas, or specialized textiles, having the right measurements ensures smooth logistics, optimal storage, and cost-effective transportation.

At Smart Ikhaya, we provide a detailed breakdown of our products’ lengths, widths, heights, and weights to make your delivery/collection process hassle-free.

Why Product Dimensions Matter

1. Logistics & Transport Efficiency
   • Knowing the weight and size of rolls helps us optimize packaging and shipping. Most couriers will request the parcel dimensions and weight when shipping is booked.
2. Storage & Handling

Calculating Product Dimensions

Accurate dimensions and weight ensure better shipping costs. Here’s how to estimate your order correctly:

Product	Roll Length	Length (cm)	Width (cm)	Height (cm)	Weight (kg)
Ripstop 400 gsm	50.00	180	20	20	36.00

Custom cut length kortROL Order of 15 m Ripstop 400 gsm

1. Dimensions:

• Length: The length remains constant (180 cm).
• Width and Height:
  • Step 1: Divide the height (20 cm) by the roll length (50 cm).
    • 20÷50=0.42
  • Step 2: Multiply the result by your desired order length (15 meters).
    • 0.4×15=6 cm
      • The total width and height of the 15-meter roll will be 6 cm.

2. Weight:

• Step 1: Divide the weight (36 kg) by the roll length (50 meters).
  • 36÷50=0.72
• Step 2: Multiply the result by your desired order length (15 meters).
  • 0.72×15=10.8 kg.
    • The weight of the 15-meter roll will be 10.8 kg.

Product	Cut Length (m)	Length (cm)	Width (cm)	Height (cm)	Weight (kg)
Ripstop 400 gsm	15	180	6	6	10.8

If you’re unsure how to estimate the size and weight of your order, our team is always ready to assist!

Note: If you order multiple cut-length items, we may be able to package them on a single roll, depending on the quantity and fabric widths. This helps optimize packaging and reduce shipping costs.

3 m Wide Rolls

For 3m wide cut lengths, the fabric can be folded depending on the quantity and its intended application. This option helps with handling and shipping efficiency. Let us know your requirements when ordering!

When transporting 3m wide rolls of fabric via The Courier Guy, you must schedule truck collections at least one business day in advance. Collection times will be confirmed upon scheduling.

Established Couriers

Shipping large rolls and heavy materials requires precision and reliability. That’s why we rely on couriers with a proven track record like iConnect, The Courier Guy, and JKJ Express for fast and efficient deliveries nationwide whilst timely and carefully handling our material at affordable shipping rates.

We have in-depth knowledge of the above couriers—their service levels, rates, and routes—and can recommend the best shipping option for your needs.
