1.
Determine the foil roll width. |
| Assuming master roll is 24"
wide you want to get the maximum number of even roll you can
get. In this example the print width is 2.25". You should allow
at least .25" each side your print actual print size. This would
make your required roll width to be 2.75". If you divide
your master width 24' by your required foil width 2.750"
you get 8.72 rolls. This would give you usable 8 rolls and
one roll too small to use. To make the maximum use to the
master make the foil cut width a number that will evenly divide
into 24. For this project that would be 3" wide rolls.

| 2. Determine Parts Per Roll |
| Assuming a 1000' master you need you
multiply 1000' times 12 if get 12,000 inches of foil. In
this example the foil pull distance is 6.5". Divide 12,000
by 6.5 gives you 1,846 parts per roll. Multiply 1,846
times 8 rolls gives you 14,769 parts per master roll. |

| 3. Calculate cost per part |
| The cost of the master roll in this example is
$220.00. Divide 220.00 by 14,769 gives you .01489 or $0.015 per part. |
