There is one thing all of the shingling formulas do not have. That is the use of pi (3.14). Since we are dealing with something that actually curves at the fold, pie should be part of the formula.
Below is the formula using pie. NOTE: the Creep Correction Factor is for paper tolerances/roughness of paper and for how tight or loose a folder is.
Steps to produce good shingling
1.) Total Number of pages (p) divided by 4 is the total number of sheets
2.) Thickness of 1 sheet of paper (t)
3.) n * t * 3.14
4.) Take the value of step 3 and divide by 2
5.) Take the value of step 4 and multiply by the Creep Correction Factor of 1.2
The formula should look like this
(((p/4) * t * 3.14)/2) * 1.2
NOTE: This formula came from Scenic Soft Engineering.
