B2B procurement · Buyer guide
Unwrapping can damage a tissue mother roll edge if wrap removal catches the sheet or handling tools touch the wound web. A tissue mother roll supplier and converter should document the intact wrapped roll, exposed end faces and first usable layers in sequence. This separates damage visible on arrival from damage created while opening, and supports a fair decision about trim or claim.
This is a receiving and evidence-preservation method, not a claim that a particular Sansheng shipment was damaged or that one wrapping method prevents every defect.

Unwrapping can damage a tissue mother roll edge if wrap removal catches the sheet or handling tools touch the wound web. A tissue mother roll supplier and converter should document the intact wrapped roll, exposed end faces and first usable layers in sequence. This separates damage visible on arrival from damage created while opening, and supports a fair decision about trim or claim.
Record the roll before opening
Photograph the roll label, core, end caps, wrap, pallet supports and any cuts, crushing or wet marks before removing material. Match the roll ID to the packing list and note where it sat in the load. The tissue mother roll supplier needs these arrival details before discussing responsibility for a later exposed-edge defect.
Remove protection without contacting the web
Stabilize the roll under the converter’s approved safe-handling procedure. Remove outer wrap and end protection with tools kept clear of the tissue edge; record each stage if damage is suspected. TAPPI describes roll handling and wrapping as protection from physical damage, moisture and debris during movement and storage. It does not specify a tissue-roll unwrapping technique or liability rule.
Inspect the first exposed layers
Photograph both end faces with a scale, then identify split, crushed, telescoped or damp areas and their circumferential and radial positions. Record whether the defect was already visible through the wrap, appeared as protection was removed, or was first seen deeper in the roll. Do not cut away suspect layers before their dimensions and location are recorded.
Connect the defect to usable width
Run a controlled unwind only when the roll is safe to use. Record any edge trim, web break or yield effect with the roll ID. Agree a disposition path for an isolated opening nick versus damage that extends into usable web. The tissue mother roll supplier and buyer should settle evidence requirements before the next shipment, not after the wrap is discarded.

Questions buyers also ask
Does a clean outer wrap prove the web edge is sound?
No. Inspect the exposed end face and first layers after safe removal.
Should the converter trim first and photograph later?
No. Record the original location and extent before material is removed.
Is every edge defect a supplier claim?
No. Arrival, opening and converting evidence must be considered separately.
