What is a linear meter?

A linear meter (also called a running meter or linear metre) is a piece of fabric 1 meter long and as wide as the roll. It is often used in the textile industry to measure and sell fabrics, particularly for use in clothing and home furnishings.

The linear meter is used to measure things that come on a roll and have width. It is a meter in length with the width of the fabric roll. Each fabric has its own width, which is indicated in the description of the fabric in our catalog in the parameter "Printing width".
