£51 for volac topwrap. Up on last year and says will be rising more.
Seems to be a fair bit of profit taking being made by suppliers this year if most customers are paying more than last year.
£49.50 for black Silawrap with mine. Good few years since I last paid under £50
Said they bought 3 artic loads pre Brexit. Doubt they were alone in doing something like that.

Before I left school in the early 80s my brother bought a wrapper and I remember the film was 28 roll which was dear then , we were one of the first to have a wrapper and salesman patter was oh yes but these will take off and the film will get cheap 
it’s went up ever since I think .
it’s went up ever since I think .I've no idea.... if you're uncomfortable that your margin is a bit high, and competitors might slip under you, absorb it and explain that you have.
If you're close to the edge, pass it straight on.
What kind of customer could complain? (oh, and i know the answer to that...but I'd suggest substituting 'a soon to be ex customer'.
£7.50 for 4 layers, £8.50 for 6 layers, all chopped unless asked not to, still same charge for unchopped. was last years price, this year could be 50p more depending on fuel and net, as said i swallowed the last price rises not doing it this time.
when i started 15? years ago same plastic was £37.50, net £90ish for tama 3000metre and i still use tama. we were dear at £6 for 6 layers when 4 layers could be got for £4.50-4.80, now we are about standard or slightly cheaper. If they think it too dear i dont be there, its their choice not my obligation.

I am so glad you said that.
I got shot down when I said contractors don't pay for their shiny new toys , the farmers do.
You just backed up what I said.
So what do contractors intend to do when farmers taxpayers handouts get changed to payments for environmental benefits delivered that include a cost of delivery?
Anyway all this film was made when oil prices were low. No need for the price rises!

How well does it store for that long?
I've some left over from last year and was worried about keeping that long.
It is in a dry cool dark place.
Don't they make wrap here ?
If the price goes up then the price goes up.

Think I've swallowed for long enough. I've been same price since 2015 when I got onto film on film. I won't do 4layers. Charge £8-£8.50
Yes they do but if the raw material isn't made here which I don't think it is...
