What method is the most cost effective?

[Guest deanjones]

dude, I don't follow your math.

40/ 2 = 20 so how is it more cost effective to just use a 40" than it is to use a 20" on doors?

in other words 20" roll = X, 40" roll = XX

unless your dist is rapin you on 20" rolls

If I could post prices, it would make sense.

I'm talking about an entire car, not just roll-ups. If you just use a 40" roll for the entire vehicle you use 11 ft of film. If you use a 20" roll for the roll-ups and a 40" roll for the back window, you end up using 17 ft of film. 5 ft of the 40" roll for the back window and 12 ft of the 20" roll for the roll-ups.

When I add these numbers up with the prices I get charged from my distributor, I would save $12 a car by just using a 40" roll to do the work.

Ok if you say so, yes you use more linear ft off of a 20" to do the doors, but youor still using the exact same SQ FT to do the job.

If your dist isn't charging you 1/2 as much for a 20 as he is a 40 then theres a problem IMO

stocking a 24" and 40" makes good sense

I would like to see a film Co.

use their head and offer 22' and 38" from a 60"

that would keep waste way down

700 cars a year at 12$ is $8400 bucks

If you're interested, I'll PM you my math.

[Guest deanjones]

Nevermind... I figured out where I went wrong on that.

Using a 40" roll actually increases the cost by .12 per car.

Thats how I get mine cut. Most (not all) major film companies price sheets Ive seen are a little cheaper by the square foot. I try to order 60" rolls cut to my preferences.

I am with a company now that doesnt charge for cuts and usually the combined order of 60" rolls meets the quota for free shipping also.

I carry llullu and I have 10's 18's, 20's, 24's, 25's, 30's, 36's, and 40's. the 10's are just limo and the 25 is just 3M. basically I carry almost all sizes. I figure its tint and if you do a lot of biz you will end up using it eventually.

Werd. If you tint, you will use it.... Hopefully
