Paper can absorb moisture, suffer crushed edges or develop scuff marks on printed surfaces. Rolls and flat sheets need different support, so define the pack format first.
Identify the product-specific risk
Use flat support and corner protection for sheets, and end supports that prevent roll crushing. Keep outer packaging clean and dry. Tape should close the pack seam without crossing the printed face.
Match inner protection, closure and pallet pattern
Balance the pallet and use a suitable base against floor moisture. When selecting a weather cover, assess condensation risk inside the covered load as well.
What to check in a shipment trial
At receipt, inspect paper moisture, roll ends, sheet corners and print surfaces. Record the route, pack type and pallet layer count.
- Record product and carton dimensions, weight and lot details.
- Check carton closure, pallet arrangement and label access on a sample load.
- Compare damage and material use after shipment using the same criteria.
This is general packaging guidance. Confirm product-specific limits in current supplier documentation.
