Court configurations

Packalines were originally designed to be used in sports arenas with polished wooden flooring, where they provide the best adhesion. By virtue of the fact they are supplied in rolls of 60 metres and 10 metre lengths (un-cut) they can be used for a variety of court markings. Some of the more popular courts and the lines required for each are shown below.  The measurements below are estimates and line lengths may need to be checked for accuracy.

Packalines can also be used for adhoc court markings e.g. throw lines for the Paralympic sport of Goalball

Boccia

Packaline line lengths (# required):

1. Back line (x1) - 6m each
2. End of court line (x1) - 6m each
3. Throwing line (x1) - 6m each
4. Side of court lines (x2) - 12.5m each
5. Dividing Lines (x5) - 2.5m each
6. V – Line (x2) -  allow approximately 3.1m for each (see note below)

TOTAL LENGTH OF PACKALINE REQUIRED = 62 metres (approx.)
(requires 1 x 60m and 1 x 10m reels of Packaline)

Note: alternative option is to use ribbon or tape marking for the V-line instead of Packaline which provides a flatter line to cater for those players with slower boule throws (e.g. ramp players). In which case only 56m of Packaline is required. 

Measurement Guidelines

• 6 metre lines: from the inside of the side lines
• 12.5 metres side lines: from inside of the front line and inside of the back line
• 10 metres: from inside the front line to the back of the throwing line
• 5 metres: from inside the front line to the centre of the cross
• 3 metres: from inside the side line to the centre of the cross
• 3 metres: from the back of the throwing line to the front of the V line
• 1.5 metres: from the back of the throwing line to the front vertex of the V line
• 2.5 metres: from inside the back line to inside (which is also the back) of the throwing line
• 1 metre box lines: evenly spread over either side of the meter marks.

Pickleball

Packaline line lengths (# required):

1. Side line (x2) – 13.3m each
2. Service line (x2) – 6 m each
3. Base line (x2) – 6m each
4. Centre Lines (x2) – 4.6m each

TOTAL LENGTH OF PACKALINE REQUIRED = 60 metres (approx.)
(requires 1 x 60m reel of Packaline)

Badminton

Packaline line lengths (# required):

1. Side line for doubles (x2) – 13.4m each
2. Side line for singles (x2) -13.4m each
3. Short Service line (x2) – 6.1m each
4. Long Service line for doubles (x2) – 6.1m each
5. Long service line for singles (x2) – 6.1m each
6. Centre Lines (x2) – 4.72m each

TOTAL LENGTH OF PACKALINE REQUIRED = 100 metres (approx.)
(requires 2 x 60m reels of Packaline)

Volleyball

Packaline line lengths (# required):

1. Side line (x2) – 18m each
2. Back line (x2) - 9m each
3. Attack line (x2) – 9m each
4. Centre line (x1) – 9m each

TOTAL LENGTH OF PACKALINE REQUIRED = 81 metres (approx.)
(requires 1 x 60m and 3 x 10m reels of Packaline)

Note: If no attack or centre lines are required then this reduces the Packaline requirement down to 54 metres and therefore you will only need 1 x 60m reel 

Tennis

Packaline line lengths (# required):

1. Baselines (x2) - allow 11m each
2. Sidelines (x4) - allow 24m each
3. Service lines (x2) - allow 8.5m each
4. Centre service line (x1) - allow 13m​

TOTAL LENGTH OF PACKALINE REQUIRED = 148 metres (approx.)
(requires 3 x 60m reels of Packaline)

Note: Alternative Packaline configuration could be used (using 10m reels) BUT care must be taken when laying out lines and cutting. Safest bet is to use 3 x 60m lengths which will provide spare capacity if mistakes made. ​

Measure twice and cut once

Remember, to avoid wastage, it is important to double check your measurements before cutting your Packalines.
