How We Calculate This
The calculator checks how many pieces of your required size fit on the chosen sheet (testing both orientations) and then divides your total quantity by pieces per sheet to get the number of sheets needed.
When wastage is enabled, 10% is added to your project count to allow for cutting errors, misprints and test pieces.
Enter your price per sheet to see total material cost.
