Read the roll width on the label before you count strips
53 cm European rolls and wider US rolls change how many strips fit the same wall. Enter the label width, not a guess.

Answer: On the cut plan, set roll width from the product label (and the same units as the wall). Strip count follows that width across the wall.

A wall that needs eight strips at 53 cm may need fewer strips at a wider roll — or more if you bought a narrow craft roll by mistake. The planner does not invent the width; you type what is printed.
Pattern repeat and match type still matter after width is set. Half drop burns length even when width is correct. Fix width first, then match, then read leftover length.
Print the cut list at 100% scale and dry-fit the first strip. Shop labels can round; a millimetre on the wrapper is still worth checking against a tape on the wall.
