Wreath pricing questions
How do I measure ribbon used in one wreath?
Measure the total length cut for bows, tails, loops, and other pieces. Use the same construction method you normally use, then add a waste allowance that reflects unusable remnants and mistakes.
Why does the calculator round designs per roll down?
A partial design is not a sellable design. The yield shows only whole wreaths the roll can support at the entered usage and waste allowance.
Is the waste percentage an industry standard?
No. The default is only an example. Replace it with your observed cutting waste, mistakes, and unusable remnants.
Can I use this for decorative mesh?
Yes. The length and cost math is the same, but construction methods and practical waste differ. Select mesh and enter the usage you actually measure.
