Shipping roll characteristics

A good shipping roll should possess the following qualities:

1. Uniform density throughout the diameter of the roll.

2. Freedom from winder dust, trim shavings, and broke scraps wound in with sheet.

3. Freedom from distortion, i.e., absence of hard and soft spots, baggy edges, winder wrinkles, starring, etc.

4. No evidence of run-together on ends of roll.

5. Wrinkle-free splices, preferably made diagonally across roll face with their positions clearly marked on the roll end.
