Roll widths

[noteboom80]

What size Rolls do you guys tend to use most? I currently by 1520mm (60") wide rolls but is it more or less economical to use 760mm (or 30" in old money)

As a film supplier, we do not sell a 30" roll of film and I can't think of anytime anyone has ever had a 60" roll cut to a 30"/30". We stock all films in 20", 24", 36", 40", 60" and some 72". Even when someone orders a 60" and have it split it is still most commonly slit 24"/36" or 20"/40". We have seen a rise in recent years of 60" rolls being slit 22"/38" and one customer that has his films slit 18"/19"/23". Hope that helps some.

20"  --  24"  --  36"   with an occasional 40" for certain windshields and backglasses  

 

I just don't see the need in a 30" roll unless it's strictly for backglasses.  

 

I split my 36" into 18"x18" to do almost all car doors.  20" roll for trucks-- 24" for bigger trucks.  36" covers almost all but a few backglasses

When we hand cut everything we did 20" 36" 24" for truck sides, and a 40" on hand that lasted a long time for that once in a while big back glass.

Now we use a plotter so we never buy 20" any more.

20", 36", 40" and a 20" split to 2-10" rolls for windshield strips.

36'' will cover almost everything. Most door glass is under 18''

for trucks turn film sideways and shrink from sides instead of bottom.

Good luck turning a F250 front window pattern sideways on a 36" roll. 

[OverLord]

F250 glass is 343/4 exposed glass f150 is 313/4

it works

40 inch. I use a splitter to slice it up how I need it.
