Custom perforated sheet metal pricing – Standard perforated sheet metal pricing
How is the price of your perforated sheet metal calculated?
Here are the three main concepts of manufacturing cost management:
- Interlocking: Several small formats interlock better on the surface of the raw panel, preventing metal loss during cutting, reducing scrap rates during shaping, and speeding up production on the machine.
- Lead time: If we use time to our advantage, your order will be better incorporated into production with different scheduling options that reduce costs. Conversely, by choosing a shorter lead time, we isolate your production from the scheduling cycle, resulting in increased costs.
- Pooling: several best-selling designs are perforated very regularly, and 1 mm thick galvanized steel is used in basic production. If you combine these two elements, you will benefit from lower production costs through pooling.

*Discounts are applied based on the total amount of the shopping cart and the Pro customer's profile.
The price of perforated sheet metal in the Dampere shop Dampere according to:
- The chosen format (small format less expensive than large format)
- The requested lead time (the time needed to optimize manufacturing)
- The selected material (steel and galvanized steel are more suitable for production)
Based on these parameters, certain technical packages are required for machine programming, machine loading, specific packaging, bending adjustments, color priming for powder coating, and environmental decontamination to clean the workspace before shaping aluminum, stainless steel, or brass.
At the end of the shopping cart, the shipping cost will be calculated based on the largest format ordered and the delivery address.
Explanation of Pricing Formulas
Mass production in a single format allows for very low production costs. Dampere opted for batch production of each custom format to offer you the advantages of industrialization in the perforated sheet metal production process. Our pricing is linked to the scheduling, pooling, and industrial interleaving of your order with other similar productions in order to share the fixed start-up costs.
