If you find what you need on their sale page, you can get some great deals.
I just ordered a "sheet" each of two sizes. 10 10 10 & 10 20 10 BMB.
A sheet makes about 135 pieces. Worked out at $.77 for each strip of 34" long purflings.
You can get them double length if you prefer. They custom cut to any width.
Good folks, good products & great service!

A layup is 6 inches wide .. depends on what width you get them cut at as to how many pieces you get .. I tend to use .100, and get about 54 or so per ...

I should have mentioned, I had the strips cut at .090". At .060" you should get a lot more. I like the 090" for side purflings. I'd MUCH rather scrape down a purfling strip, than the side & the binding!
I like to use fairly thick bindings on larger instruments. The .080" strips I recently ran out of, frustrated me more than once.
Hindsight being 20/20, I should have asked if they would slice half of each layup at .060" & the other half at .090".
