Choosing the Right Till Rolls and Controlling Spending on Consumables

Choosing the right till rolls and consumable products and keeping business costs low is important for maintaining a high profit margin in retail and service businesses.  While businesses use a variety of budgeting methods to keep costs down, one often overlooked area is the cost of certain administrative supplies.  

Supplies like till rolls, ink ribbons, and related items can quickly create a dent in your budget if you aren't careful about choosing the right consumable products.

Till rolls are, of course, necessary for any business that offers goods and services to the public.  Unfortunately, businesses often spend more than necessary on till roll paper and related supplies, and since these are consumable items, the cost can begin to add up quickly.  If you need to cut costs to increase the profitability of your business, choosing the right till roll paper can help you achieve this goal.

First, choose a competitively priced supplier.  Remember that supplier pricing may not be consistent across all product lines.  

In practical terms, this means you should comparison shop for companies that offer competitive pricing on the types of till rolls that you use most frequently.  Company A might offer a better deal on single-ply till rolls, whereas Company B might have more competitive pricing on double-ply till rolls.  Choosing a supplier that offers the best pricing on the products you use most frequently will maximize your savings.

In addition to choosing a reasonably priced supplier, you'll want to compare the cost of different types of till rolls.  The least expensive option is economy paper single-ply till rolls.  

Grade A paper is brighter than the standard off-white economy paper, but isn't necessarily more expensive.  This is the best option if you don't require carbon copies of printed receipts.  

In many cases, a register can also print duplicates.  However, if you require more than one copy of each transaction receipt (one for your records, and one for the customer, for example), you'll want to compare the cost of printing a duplicate receipt on single-ply till roll paper, to using multi-ply paper.  

Multi-ply paper, most often double or triple ply, also saves money by saving time and conserving the printer ink ribbon.  It's up to you to compare costs and decide whether single or multi-ply till roll paper is best for your needs.

Other till roll options include thermal and impact action paper rolls.  Thermal till roll paper is most often used in chip and pin machines, and for industrial use.  Impact action paper is a type of carbonless paper also used in chip and pin systems that eliminates the need for ink printing ribbons, since the printed images are produced by the impact of the printing pins on the paper.

With careful planning, it is possible to improve the profitability of your business by limiting the cost of consumable supplies.  By taking stock of your needs for till roll paper and related supplies, and by carefully choosing a supplier that offers competitive pricing, you can save a significant amount of money in your day-to-day business operations.
