Not sure which till roll you need? Learn how to measure a till roll, understand roll dimensions, and choose the correct size for your printer.
Choosing the correct till roll is essential for keeping your till, card machine or thermal printer running smoothly. While it might seem confusing at first, measuring a till roll is actually very straightforward once you know what to look for.
In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how till rolls are measured and how you can check you’re ordering the right size.
How Are Till Rolls Measured?
Till rolls are measured using two key dimensions: Width × Diameter
For example:
A 52 × 95 till roll means:
- 52mm wide
- 95mm in diameter
That’s it – simple as that.
What does the width mean?
The width is the measurement across the face of the paper, from one side to the other.
This measurement is crucial because your printer is designed to accept a specific paper width. If the roll is too wide or too narrow, it won’t feed correctly (or at all).
What does the diameter mean?
The diameter is the overall size of the roll when fully wound.
The diameter matters because:
- A roll that’s too large may not fit inside your printer
- A roll that’s too small will run out more quickly
Different machines have different maximum roll diameters, so this is an important detail to check.
How to measure your Till Roll
If you already have a roll:
- Measure the width of the paper in millimetres
- Measure the diameter across the roll from edge to edge
If you don’t have a roll to hand, your machine manual will usually list the required roll size.
Still not sure?
