I think it depends on whether they filled the order on a Friday afternoon...
In much earlier years (using 3M Scotchcal) there would always be an added tab/note stating an extra yard has been included for the 'inconvenience', but that only happened buying full 10 or 50yd rolls. If it posed a real problem, my supplier wouldn't think twice about crediting my account for a fair amount. Buying only 7 yards, your supplier had to have seen it when cutting it -- I'd take it up with him considering the circumstances of needing that long run. If you're an established customer, they'd be foolish not to do right by you.

Always request non-spliced vinyl. It is a common request and easily accommodated. As a supplier I never send out a spliced roll without asking the customer first.

If I had ordered a 50 yard roll maybe I put up with a splice...but seven yards? and the splice was at the 27" mark from the front of the roll? I assumed I had extra material at the end, but NO!! Good thing I had a couple yards in stock.... Reflective is one of the priciest vinyls around so don't be giving me any splices that cant go through the Edge printer. My supplier is usually pretty good about this stuff so i will get credited for it. I am also only a 5 minute drive away...so replacing is not really an issue... The guy who cut this is an issue....

i had the same issue before. Needed so much and they spliced it. They ended up having to ship me more for free.

What I mean is that if you are buying the cheapest vinyl such as 4 year vinyl or buying off brands from ebay and amazon, then you probably will get splices. The 3 top companies are really good about splicing which is probably why I don't see it.

From the perforations on the OP's picture, it appears to be Gerber material (3M). In this case, it has zip to do with the "buying the cheapest vinyl" or "off brands."
3M (Gerber), Avery, Oracal and Arlon all will occasionally have splices. Even the print media. You are just lucky to have never gotten a roll that did.

I thought splices were a thing of the past... granted, 95% of my rolls are 10 yards, but I haven't gotten a spliced roll since the mid 2000's...
But I do seem to remember getting 50 yard rolls in the 90's, and seeing that little tab somewhere in the middle...
