Storage and Handling of Asphalt Roofing Felt Rolls

Prepare the storage area before the shipment arrives

Merily’s product guidance is to store asphalt roofing felt rolls upright in a dry, shaded area and protect them from moisture and handling damage. Make this arrangement part of receiving preparation rather than finding space after unloading.

Keep product codes and labels accessible so staff can separate the specifications in the shipment. This is especially useful for distributors stocking several roll lengths or weights with similar packaging.

Protect the finished sales unit

Wrapping and roll-end materials are part of the delivered presentation. Handle the roll in a way that protects the sheet, winding and label panel. Inspect visible damage during receiving and connect it to a shipment reference.

Use handling arrangements suitable for the roll size and the agreed packing. Do not assume that a packing choice eliminates the need for careful unloading and storage.

Keep inspection and receiving records

Check the product identification, quantities and packing condition against the shipment documents. Record any discrepancy with clear photographs and the relevant product code.

If an opened roll is retained as a reference, label it with its specification and order details. This gives sales and purchasing staff a useful sample without confusing it with a different stock item.

Carry the guidance into distribution

Include the agreed storage instructions in your label and warehouse records. Your distributors and customers should receive the same product identification and handling information that accompanied the supply order.

Merily can coordinate packing and labeling requirements with your roll specification. Tell us how your business receives, stores and resells the rolls when planning a repeat supply arrangement.
