How many cars out of a 40x100 roll

[doug g]

Currently I purchase all of my rolls 60" cut 38x22 but thinking of going to upsell film but only going with 40" roll to start out with.

 

On my 60" roll I can get 17 cars give or take (Depending on 2 door, 4 door or just 2 front etc) but all in all its about 17 cars I have found.

 

Just curios what you guys get out of a 40" roll so I can kick around a price point for the upsell film.

 

Thanks

9 to 10 4dr cars if you don't waste much film at all.

I would agree with CTC. I use a plotter and have very little waste so I might get one extra car from a roll if I'm lucky.

I would estimate 8 4dr cars if you hand cut... That leaves a little room for error/ strange end roll wrinkles/ etc...

Also, What Manufactures lines do you offer in a upsell film? How often do you get the upsell?

 

Sorry for so many questions.

 

Thanks

It will average out to be about 10 cars per 40" roll if you do not waste film. I always divide the cost of a 40" roll by 10 to get a rough cost of window film per car for costing purposes. Some cars may use a little more, some a little less, but 10 is a good number.

I always found a good way to estimate cost on a typical 4 door car (If splitting a 40" roll) is this:

Front roll up windows 36-38" pull

Back roll up windows 28-33" pull

Vent/Quarter windows (if you can't use the scrap from the fronts) 4-10" pull

Back Glass 50-54" pull

Windshield strip (Hope you have enough extra scrap from back glass)

Using a Plotter the average is about 12 FT per 4 door car so your looking at an average of 8 cars per roll, on Audi's and Mercedes, Porsche size cars your looking at about 12 per roll...
