What does made-to-measure protective film cost? How the price is made up

Each of the four films has a price per square metre. The calculation uses the area of your shape, not the enclosing rectangle: a round table therefore costs less than a square one with the same diameter as edge length. Small cut pieces are charged at least for a small minimum area.

The area follows from your dimensions. You calculate a rectangle yourself: width times length, in metres. A table of 90 by 180 centimetres has 0.9 times 1.8, so 1.62 square metres. This area times the film's price per square metre is the base price.

Which price per square metre currently applies is shown on the product pages and in the configurator. It comes live from the shop and can change; that is why we name no figures here.

An example with shape: a circle 100 centimetres across has about 0.79 square metres, a square with 100-centimetre edges a full one. So anyone who orders round pays only for the area actually covered. We do not charge you for offcuts from the roll.

Clear has the lowest price per square metre, High Gloss the highest; Matte and Premium Clear lie in between. If price is the deciding factor, it is worth looking at which surface really needs the thicker film.

A mix saves money without giving up protection: Premium Clear for the dining table that is used every day, Clear for the sideboard next to it. In the configurator you choose the film for each cut piece separately.

For “Exact to size” there is a surcharge per piece. It does not depend on size: a small and a large cut piece pay the same amount. On large surfaces it therefore hardly matters; with many small parts it adds up.

For the freeform there is a surcharge per piece for cutting to your file. Rectangle, circle, oval, rounded corners and trapezoid cost only the area, with no shape surcharge. The configurator shows the exact amounts in the price line.

With “Cut yourself” you pay no cutting surcharge but cut edges, radii and cut-outs yourself. How much allowance you need there is explained in the article on the two cutting options.

The prices in the configurator include VAT. Shipping costs are added; above a certain order value they are waived, and the shipping page names the value. We currently deliver only within Germany.

If you order several pieces, the configurator calculates quantity times unit price. With identical fronts you set the quantity; each piece arrives separately. For series and parts from a drawing there is the enquiry for business customers.

In the basket you see every item with dimensions, film and cutting option. That lets you check before checkout whether quantity and price match what you measured, and still change or remove individual cut pieces.

Measure the surface, choose film and cutting option in the configurator and compare. The price is shown immediately, and you can switch the film without re-entering anything.

You can save in the right place: not on the quality of adhesion or preparation, but on the choice of film per surface, on the cutting option for simple rectangles and on bundling several parts in one order. Looking at the sample set beforehand costs little and can avoid a wrong order.

And one more point: the price you see in the configurator is the price you pay, plus shipping. No hidden items are added in the basket, and checkout checks the price once more against the shop's values.
