Leather: Measuring a Natural Material
Animal hides and skins vary considerably in their surface area depending on the age and girth of the animal. In addition to this, variations in humidity and changes in temperature can influence the final leather area measurement. Optimised leather measurement applies specific methods and expertise to measure leather surface area accurately.
Financial Impact of Incorrectly Sized Leather Hides
Under measurement can have a serious impact on the earnings of a company and over measurement can cause disputes. Regular check measurement can reduce complaints and minimise the potential for costly claims.
The size of a piece of leather has a direct effect on profits, it is vital to have complete confidence in measurements for all production.
