I have a roll of paper that has to be slit into 3 different widths, may be
more than one lane of each width. Lets say 5quot;, 10quot; and 15quot;.
I need to decide the best layout of the slitters that will be slitting this
parent roll to ensure the least amount of waste.
Is there a formula that I could use to figure the optimal layout or is this
something that I'll just have to figure manually.
At this time the width of the paper could be ordered around 48quot; total width
but could go /- a few inches either way to accomodate optimal slitting.
Any help would be appreciated.Try the free trial of CutListPlus.
