The first thing to consider when selecting a mould is the cheese to be sold, its price point and type. From there you should:
Choose the final weight of the cheese you want to market
Select the shape and dimensions
Look for the appropriate mould in our catalog
Moulds are presented on our website according to their type. Some cheeses can be made in various types of moulds. We suggest that you first decide on the type of cheese, its final weight and shape before contacting us. We will then be in a position to help you more efficiently.

There are mathematical formulas to evaluate the appropriate size of paper to use to wrap a given cheese according to its shape:
Cylindrical cheese: Lenght = Width = ( 2 X H + 2,33 X Ø ) / 1,414
Regular square cheese: Lenght = 2 X H + 2 X c + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + c
Optimized square cheese: Lenght = Width = (2 X H + 2 X c + 40 mm) / 1,41
Half-Moon cheese: Lenght = 2 X H + Ø + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + Ø
Rectangular cheese: Lenght = 2 X H + 2 X l + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + L
Wedge: Lenght = Width = (4 X r / 3 + 2 X H + 10 mm) / 1,41
Example: We use a square piece of paper to wrap a round cheese. To find out the dimension, we used the following formula ( 2 X H + 2,33 X Ø ) / 1,414. Then, if a cheese is 4'' (100mm) of diameter x 1,5'' (38mm) high, the answer will be 8,7'' (220mm) . You then need a paper of 8,7'' (220mm) x 8,7'' (220mm) to wrap it.
