20190724 Started moving these around as we are about to need a new 1200mm roll so don’t want to be moving a full roll as is heavy.
Rethinking a minimum:
- 1200mm Corrugated roll
900mm Corrugated rroll600mm Corrugated roll- 300mm Corrugated roll
- 300mm bubble wrap
A litle inconvenient to use 1200mm for shorter widths but.. less is more?
Tasks:
- remove shelving from rear wall of bay 1 – DONE
- move existing 1200mm to be hard up against back wall above bench 2 – DONE
- Temporarily move 900mm roll elsewhere – DONE

Between brown paper, bubble wrap & corrugated cardboard a lot fo space is taken up by these materials
Having them hanging above bench 2 is fine, but above bench 3 limits that benchs usefulness: Bench top to ceiling to 1200mm and each roll hangs down at least 600m when full so we can;t place drill press / 3d printers etc on that bench
So what do we actually need for packaging:
Current:
- 1200mm corrugated cardboard roll: essential? YES for single long extrusion orders helps keep straight in shipping
- 900mm corrugated cardboard roll: essential NO but very useful..
- 600mm corrugated roll: essential: YES for 400-600mm orders
- 300mm corrugated roll: essential: YES
Reconsidering:

If only above bench 2 (packing bench we have about 2.5m length available if remove rear shelves from back of bay 1 then we can pretty much fit above the 2.5m bench 1:
- 1200mm Corrugated roll
- 600mm Corrugated roll
- 300mm Corrugated roll
- 300mm bubble wrap
So the plan:
- Run down current 900mm roll, don’t replace
- remove shelving from rear wall of bay 1
- rellocate above rolls to above bench 2
- Note: no place for the 600mm roll of brown paper but worry about that later as full roll is only ~220mm diameter vs bubble wrap/corrugated cardboard which are ~600mmD
