I'll echo what Sally said (I'm sure we use the same company), and add that
we have them slice their huge rolls to the length of our drawers and then
have them perforate the rolls at intervals that correspond to the width of
the drawers, making it easy to just tear off a 'sheet' and use it. Saves
alot of time and costs very little extra.
