Guidelines for orders 30 meters or more

  • Roll the fabric on a 5-centimeter (2-inch) hardcore tube, with the tube length matching the fabric’s width.

  • The face of the fabric must be inward when rolled, and rolls must not be stored vertically.

  • Roll size diameter (with textile) should be a maximum of 25-28 cm (10 inches), except for high volume and low weight textiles (such as fleece, quilting, and insulation material).

  • Wrap the rolls in strong, heavy-weight plastic bags, then raphia/tarp bags should be applied over the plastic bag.

Each roll must be identified with the following information: Vendor’s product identification number, fabric description information (construction, fiber content, weight, finishes if applicable), and the Supplier’s name.
