This is a Manufacturer Special Quote product we don’t stock; despite this, we’ve had a number of questions recently concerning MOQ for the product and why it’s priced and sold in this way.

This is a 3M (TC) product, which means it’s a Tape Cut product custom cut as a value-added service. This particular product is custom cut at the manufacturer and sent to you that way, which necessitates a certain MOQ as well as lead time for this part number. Since this is custom-cut product, it cannot be canceled or returned once ordered; once purchased, it is yours.
