Storage
Rolls are stored on end, boxed, off the floor and out of sunlight, sorted by line and shade so a picker reaches the right roll in seconds. Ceramic+, Ceramic and Carbon each have their own bays; Forged PPF and 60" rolls have theirs. The same on-end, boxed, out-of-sun rule is the one we recommend for the shop; see why accessible tools are essential.
Every roll has an ID
Each roll carries its own identifier, tied to your order the moment it is pulled. If there is ever a warranty question the answer is on the label: which roll, which order, which day. Before packing, the roll is inspected end to end, damage check, edges and liner, and the inspection is photo-logged to the order. That ID is what a shop writes on the invoice and the aftercare card, as covered in final steps: glass cleaner and conditioner.
From order to truck
- The order routes to the closer warehouse automatically.
- A picker pulls the roll by line, shade and width and scans its ID to the order.
- The roll is unboxed and inspected end to end: liner, edges, core, damage.
- The inspection is photographed and logged against the order.
- The roll is re-boxed in its branded shipping box and labelled.
