Roll Cradles for Flooring, Rugs and Wallpaper
When considering all the time and money you put into manufacturing high-quality flooring, the last thing you want to deal with is damage from shipping, handling or storage. Finding an effective packaging method that protects your roll products can often be challenging. Conventional cartons are usually not an option because of the void areas between the box and the product.
Rollguard® has developed a revolutionary fiber cradle that provides superior shipping protection, eliminating the need for expensive foam inserts and cushioning that many companies use for long-distance transport. We offer these cradles in multiple stock options and custom designs to fit the needs of your product and shipping applications.
What Are Roll Cradles for Flooring and Rugs?
Our roll cradles are a warehouse storage solution that allows you to efficiently stack your flooring and rug rolls on a pallet without having to worry about instability or damage. We manufacture our cradles from molded pulp using a combination of recycled newsprint and corrugated fiberboard. We blend the materials into a slurry and mold them into shapes based on the product application.
All the materials we use to make these cradles are 100% biodegradable and recyclable.
Rollguard’s roll cradles are strong enough to efficiently handle all your flooring products, including vinyl rolls, rubber mats and rugs. Our fiber cradles can provide significant protection to your product regardless of its size and shape.
Custom Roll Cradles for Wallpaper
Our roll cradles also provide optimal solutions for shipping wallpaper rolls. We can supply you with cradles to accommodate almost any size roll from 8 to 127 centimeters in diameter. If you need a design we don’t stock, our team can help you develop a cradle designed specifically for your application.
The cradles work by placing them along the base of a pallet, then laying the product securely into the cradle. A new set of cradles hold another level of rolls for each tier.
Let Rollguard® Solve Your Shipping and Storage Challenges
Rollguard cradles can handle all the challenges associated with packaging, shipping and storing your rolled flooring and wallpaper products. If you’ve encountered issues with pyramid stacking, boxes or wood storage, here are a few ways our roll cradles can tackle your most common concerns.
Maintaining Quality
When you ship flooring, rugs and wallpaper, packaging is everything. These items must be properly wrapped and protected to prevent creases and damage. They must also remain clean when shipped or stored to maintain the quality of these high-end products.
Our roll cradles consist of soft materials that cushion goods against collisions that could damage delicate flooring and wallpaper. Each cradle keeps rolled products in place on the stacks, providing secure support.
Rollguard solutions are molded fiber, a far cleaner alternative to wood storage that’s filled with sawdust and splinters and can even foster bacterial growth. Our packaging resists humidity, moisture and extreme temperatures to help maintain the quality of your flooring and wallpaper products.
Saving Space
Rolled flooring is irregularly shaped. Stacking it on shelves or in boxes risks damage, as it may roll off or become compressed.
Roll cradles are an incredible space-saving solution. They are far less bulky than wooden pallets or large racks. The design is easily nestable and stackable, allowing you to store your rolled flooring vertically in your warehouse or storeroom, taking up far less space than standard solutions.
Staying Organized
Finding a place to keep your rolled flooring or wallpaper can be problematic. When pushed against walls or piled in corners, these products quickly become disorganized.
Our roll cradles are a visually appealing solution for clearing unsightly messes and organizing cylindrical items in a way that looks great and lets you find what you need when you need it.
Pallet Configurations for Flooring and Wallpaper
Rollguard’s fiber roll cradles allow you to use many different unitization formats. We manufacture our cradles to hold one or several rolls on each pallet layer. Check out our roll handling configuration tool to discover which cradle and pallet pattern works best for your application.
Benefits of Using Roll Cradles for Flooring, Rugs and Wallpaper Applications
If your current storage and shipping solutions aren’t cutting it, you need a new way to package your rolled flooring, rugs and wallpaper. Advantages of using our roll cradles for your flooring products include:
- Strength and durability: Depending on the type of flooring and its dimensions, your rolled material may weigh hundreds of kilograms per pallet. Our cradles can handle the heaviest pallet loads, from single large rolls to stacks containing multiple rolls.
- Eco-friendliness: Other packaging products like thermoformed plastics require disposal after each use. Our cradles are entirely recyclable and biodegradable. They utilize far less material while still providing optimized packaging. Once the product has been used, simply dispose of it with your other recyclable materials.
- Increased space and production efficiencies: The ability to nest allows you to store more finished roll products in less space, and it is much easier for your employees to work with. The cradles assemble and disassemble quickly for a simple and efficient solution to creating cubed stacks of rolled flooring.
- Easier unpacking: Your customers will appreciate you more when they discover how easy it is to unpack flooring rolls secured by our cradles. De-nesting hubs make separating stacked items a breeze.
