FORMULA The composite weight in Gms per Sq.Mtr.(GSM) of the export product is to be calculated as A+B+C+D+E+F where: A = Weight in Gms per Sq.Mtr.(GSM) of relevant film used as 1st layer as at Sr.No.1 which is to be determined as follows: Specific gravity of the film X thickness(Micron) = GMS/Sq.Mtr. B = Weight in Gms per Sq.Mtr.(GSM) of relevant film used as 2nd layer as at Sr.No.1 which is to be determined as follows: Specific gravity of the film X thickness (micron) = GMS/Sq.Mtr. C = The weight of ink at S.No.2 on dry weight basis shall be taken as 2.5 Gms/Sq.Mtr. on an average having total solid content of25%+/-3%. D = The weight of adhesive at S.No.3 on dry weight basis shall be taken as 2.5 Gms/Sq.Mtr. on an average having total solid content of 60%+/-5%. E = The weight of additive at S.No.4 on dry weight basis shall be taken as 0.20 Gms/Sq.Mtr. on an average having total solid content of 50%+/-5%. F = The weight of relevant hotmelt in gms per sq.mtr. The above is for two layer printed flexible packaging material/laminate. In case of single layer flexible packaging material in the export product items at `B', `D', `E' shall be excluded. A + B + C + D + E + F GMS = wt. of 1 sq. mtr. of export product. Therefore, 1000 1 Kg. of export item =___________________ = Sq.Mtr. of export product.

NOTES FOR FORMULA: 1. Exporter shall declare type of flexible packaging material i.e. adhesive laminated or extrusion laminated flexible material. In addition the exporter shall also declare composition of export product indicating no. of layers, thickness of each film/substrate in respect of the inputs as at Sr. No.1 to be used in the export product. 2. FLEXIBLE PACKAGING MATERIAL/LAMINATE CONTAINING SINGLE LAYER OF INPUTS AS AT SR. NO.1 In the case of export of single layer printed flexible packaging material, import of relevant inputs at Sr. No.1 2is allowed with wastage of 12% (twelve) and 10% (ten)respectively. Further, the import of input at Sr. No.5 is allowed with wastage of 10% (ten) if the product is exported with hotmelt. (However, import of inputs at Sr. No.3 4 will not be allowed for said product). 3. FLEXIBLE PACKAGING MATERIAL/LAMINATE CONTAINING TWO LAYERS OF INPUTS AS AT SR. NO.1 i) In the case of export of two layer printed flexible packaging material/laminate the import of relevant inputs as at Sr.No.1,2,3 4 is allowed with wastage of 15% (fifteen), 10% (ten), 10% (ten) and 10% (ten) respectively. The import of input at Sr.No.2 i.e. liquid printing ink will not, however, be allowed in the case of export of unprinted flexible packaging material. Further the import of inputs as at Sr.No.5 is allowed with wastage of 10% (ten) if the product is exported with hotmelt. ii) In the case of export of extrusion coated flexible packaging material/laminate the import of inputs as at Sr.No.1(k) i.e. LDPE granules will alone be allowed with wastage of 10% (ten). However, the import of items as at Sr.No.3 4 will not be allowed. 4.

In case of unprinted material, ink is not to be allowed and consequently wt. of dry ink taken at `C' in the formula is not to be taken for calculation purposes. 11.
