Very nice.
So how does this work, do you have custom competent tape making vendors that can do this or did you go another route ?

That's correct, there are companies out there that make this stuff.
You talk with them, give them prints, and some time later you get some parts.

Minimum order is 1km lol, I think $400?
You also need to have a tool made (that's the custom bit) I think that was about $200?

Yes, but on your end, can you do :
- 1km total (eg: 250 m per tape type)
- 1km per tape type, so 4km minimum.

I think I understand.
Basically with companies there's a MOQ (miniumum order qty)
This is basically raw materials + setup cost and whatever it takes to cover that cost.
There is a chance we could have ordered more.

Thanks for the info.
I am also quite curious about the process of putting on the protective clear plastic film on top of the tape.
So if you ever take a video of that machine in action I would be very interested.
