U-shaped paper edge protector length is the figure buyers ask about most, because it decides whether the profile fits. Inside width runs 15-150 mm, side height 25-75 mm, wall thickness 2.5-5 mm, and cut length is made to order from 300 mm to 6,000 mm. None of the four is fixed: change any one of them and the price per metre changes with it, but the forming process does not.

Width, height and thickness are set at forming and cutting, so a change is a production instruction rather than a new die. That is why a custom size carries the same 3,000 meter minimum as a standard one, and why a sample of a new size takes 3-5 working days rather than weeks.
