Roll

Roll is a foreign trade packaging term referring to goods packaged or delivered in roll form, commonly used for flexible materials such as textiles, paper, plastic films, metal foils, and carpets. Usage scenarios include: contract packaging clauses, letter of credit document descriptions, packing lists, and bill of lading product names. Precautions: 1) The length, width, weight, core inner diameter, and material of each roll (e.g., paper core, plastic core) must be specified to avoid rejection due to specification mismatch; 2) Rolled goods are usually loaded upright or horizontally, requiring consideration of container space utilization and moisture-proof and pressure-proof measures; 3) It differs from 'Reel' and 'Spool': Roll emphasizes the wound form, Reel often refers to a spool with a core, and Spool is commonly used for wire materials; 4) If the letter of credit requires 'in rolls', delivery in folded or sheet form is not allowed, otherwise it constitutes a discrepancy. In addition, roll packaging may involve 'Roll No.' markings for easy counting and claims.
