Separate the causes
Pallet condition
Photograph wet or stained pallet areas and their alignment with affected packages.
Barrier failure
Inspect the actual protective layer and any breaks; do not assume the documented packaging was used.
Cloth penetration
Map whether moisture or marks stop at the outer wrap or extend into particular cloth layers.
Steps before deciding
- Isolate affected packages and identify their pallet positions.
- Retain transport and receiving photographs.
- List packaging layers actually found.
- Inspect cloth condition by roll and metre location.
- Agree prevention changes and any stock-release conditions separately.
Worked example
Hypothetical case: only the two bottom rolls show stains aligned with a damaged barrier. Record that location pattern; do not assume upper rolls have the same damage.
Buyer questions
Does clean outer wrapping rule out a problem?
No. Inspect the contact side and internal condition where indicated.
Should I clean the pallet first?
Preserve evidence before approved cleanup and relocation.
Discuss the evidence with Fred Textile
Give Fred Textile the pallet map, barrier photos and roll-specific findings for a packaging remedy discussion.
