Properly relocating oversized print media requires strategic coordination to safeguard both the material and personnel involved

Whether you're shuttling cylinders from an in-house studio to an offsite installation location

implementing proven protocols minimizes the risk of damage and delays

Start by selecting the right equipment

Opt for a heavy-duty roll transporter or industrial hand truck built for round, weighted media

These carts often have padded supports and secure straps to keep the roll from shifting during transit

Do not lift heavy print cylinders manually unless they are compact and under the recommended weight limit

Use heavy-duty work gloves to prevent abrasions and ensure a firm, secure hold

Verify that the core isn't cracked and the print is tightly and uniformly wound

Loose or uneven winding can cause creases or tears during movement

For delicate substrates such as PVC or coated fine art paper, encase the roll in a soft, lint-free cover or sealed polyethylene wrap

This shields the surface from dust, moisture, and accidental scratches

Never apply adhesive tape across the printed area—it may stain, lift pigment, or damage the coating

Align the print face upward or downward according to manufacturer guidelines for optimal protection

Some materials are more prone to marking when pressed against surfaces, so consult the manufacturer's recommendations

Secure the roll with strong, nonstretching straps or bungee cords that are tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they deform the roll

Make sure the cart's wheels are in good condition and suitable for the terrain you'll be navigating

Never traverse stairs, potholes, or steep slopes without additional support

When moving the roll, push rather than pull the cart to maintain better control

Engage your core and lift with your knees, never your spine

If the roll is particularly heavy or bulky, always have at least one other person help

Never try to balance a roll on a forklift or pallet jack unless it is properly secured with a cradle or frame designed for cylindrical loads

Never pile rolls vertically unless they’re engineered for upright storage with spacer inserts

During transport, especially in vehicles, ریسوگراف secure the rolls with tie downs to prevent them from rolling or falling during sudden stops

Use padding between the rolls and the walls of the vehicle to avoid abrasion

Shield rolls from heat, cold, or moisture with insulated wraps or temperature-regulated enclosures

Always examine the print before removing it from transport

Record any imperfections with photos and written logs and inform all stakeholders without delay

Store the roll in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled environment until it is ready to be used

Never leave large print rolls exposed to direct sunlight, high heat, or damp areas

Adhering to these guidelines preserves quality, cuts costs, and prevents avoidable project setbacks

Always prioritize safety, proper handling, and environmental control to protect both your materials and your team
