A supplier quotes $78 per roll. Another quotes $84. Once both shipments reach the same warehouse, the $84 offer may cost less. Before you compare any PPF supplier quotation, put the film, the order quantity and the delivery point on the same basis.
Check what each supplier is quoting
Start with the model and finish, then confirm the TPU construction, nominal thickness and tolerance, and which layers count toward the stated thickness. Ask for the usable roll width and length. If one offer is for 15 m and another for 12 m, compare the cost per usable square meter after checking that both widths fit your installers’ patterns.
KSB D75 and TOP75 show why thickness alone leaves room for confusion. Both are listed at 7.5 ± 0.3 mil. D75 has a listed six-year warranty and TOP75 an eight-year warranty. Put the exact model and finish on each quote and request the written warranty terms for your market. See the KSB PPF specifications comparison.
Read the trade term and the place together
Ask for the Incoterms® 2020 rule and the named port, terminal or warehouse address. Use the same destination when your forwarder prices the charges you’ll pay.
| Term on quote | What to check |
| FCA or FOB | FCA names the handover point to the buyer’s carrier. Under FOB, delivery is on board at the named shipment port. Price the onward freight and import costs. |
| CIF | Seller pays ocean freight and arranges insurance to the named destination port. Risk passes on board at origin. Check destination charges and inland delivery. |
| DAP or DDP | Both name a destination. Under DAP the buyer handles import clearance and duties. Under DDP the seller handles them. Confirm who unloads and how taxes are shown. |
For container handover at a terminal, ask your forwarder to price FCA. See the ICC Incoterms® 2020 guidance.
Work out the cost at your warehouse
Add the film invoice and the charges you’ll pay through delivery to your warehouse. Depending on the quote, that can include freight, insurance, port handling, brokerage, duties, nonrecoverable import taxes and final delivery. Count each charge once. Confirm import charges with your broker. Divide the total by the number of rolls.
A comparison for 100 rolls
These figures are illustrative. Both offers cover 100 rolls of the same approved specification, with the same roll dimensions and warehouse destination.
| Cost in USD | Quote A · FCA | Quote B · DAP |
| Quoted price per roll | $78.00 | $84.00 |
| Quoted total | $7,800 | $8,400 |
| Buyer-paid costs through delivery | $1,550 | $730 |
| Total cost at warehouse | $9,350 | $9,130 |
| Landed cost per roll | $93.50 | $91.30 |
Quote B costs $220 less at the warehouse. In this example, A’s extra costs cover onward transport and import charges. B’s quote includes transport to the warehouse, with import charges still payable by the buyer.
Check charges that sit outside the roll price
Check setup fees and minimums for branded cartons, cores and labels. Separate one-time fees from recurring charges. Confirm the minimum per model, payment schedule, quote expiry and the date the rolls will be ready to ship.
Before issuing the purchase order, have the supplier reissue the quote with the approved model, roll dimensions, packaging, quantity and named delivery point. Confirm who pays for replacement freight if a roll fails inspection.
