Vinyl Square Meter Calculation for a Roll

[David Hammond]

Correct.

Total sq/m is 1.37m x 50m giving 68.5 sq/m

Divide the cost by sq/m on the roll.

Thanks.

Keep in mind, some manufacturers give you 50 "YARDS" , NOT 50 Metres, which works out at 45.7 metres per roll.

Also bear in mind that you don’t use it by the square metre…you use it by the linear metre. I always retail all off-the-roll media as a linear rate. Don’t care if it’s 1600x1000mm or 1000x1000mm…. I’ve still used a metre of vinyl / banner etc.

I’m with you David, I sell by the linear metre, if they only need a couple of A4 stickers I’d be left with a sq mate of waste!
