If you can purchase a large enough order of BOPP film, you can get a lower cost per pound and save some coin while stocking up on this material.
That being said, every vendor is different, and not all vendors will give you a discount on your film purchase. It is advised that you compare pricing from at least three to five packaging vendors to find a seller that will give you a discount for larger orders.
