5.1   Establishing Manufacturing Runs
If a manufacturing run has not been established for a non-standard grade, and an inquiry for a product cannot be filled from inventory, the inquiry will be quoted “Subject to acceptable trim and minimum tonnage”. Once the minimum requirement is established for a manufacturing run, the order will be acknowledged and processed.
   
5.2   Minimum Grade Run and Frequency of Production
 

Standard grades are produced every cycle.

Non-standard grades are produced subject to accumulation.

The next two digits represent the day of the month. The sixth and the seventh digits represent the “master reel” from which the roll was cut.

The eighth digit represents the set from within the master reel. Depending on the diameter of the roll, it can range from 1 to 7. The larger the number the closer to the core of the master reel the roll was cut.

The final letter refers to the position across the machine with “A” being the front side of the machine and “S” being the back side. The letters “I” and “O” are not used.

5.10   Skid Packaging
 
Sheets are packaged on 2-way entry skids constructed from new wood and prepared in the following sequence:
•  2 softwood runners 2" × 4" (notched for banding) generally aligned along the short side of the skid (may vary with customer and size of skid). A minimum of 29" clearance is required between runners.
•  Minimum 3/4" thick base. The base must exceed the edge of the sheets by 1" on all 4 sides.
•  All skids must contain a bottom moisture barrier that covers and exceeds the entire base by 4" on all 4 sides. The excess is folded upwards along the edges of the sheeted board when it is stretch-wrapped.
•  Chipboard sheet or reasonable facsimile.
•  Sheeted board.
•  Top moisture barrier that exceeds edges of sheeted board by 3"-4" on all 4 sides.
•  Edge protectors are put along the top perimeter of the skid/pile.
•  The excess bottom and top moisture barrier is folded up while the entire skid is stretch–wrapped.
•  Kraft wrap around sheeted board.
•  A 3/4" -1" thick picture-frame skid top is put on exceeding the sheet edge by 1" on all 4 sides.
•  2 metal bands are strapped along the short side of the skid, with 2 along the long side.
•  It is recommended that the height of a skid from the floor does not exceed 54", therefore a maximum of 48" of paper is advised.
To calculate the height of a skid: 1 inch per caliper = the # of sheets per inch. eg: .010 (caliper) × 3,000 sheets = 30" of paper + 6" skid (top & bottom) = 36" high
•  The maximum weight for a finished skid cannot exceed 2,500 lb.

5.11   Sheet Carton Packaging
 
Cartons are packaged on 4-way entry pallets constructed from new wood and prepared in the following sequence:
•  3 stringers aligned along the long side of the pallet. Nominal dimensions of wood used: 1" × 4".
•  2 notched softwood runners aligned along the long side of the pallet. The notches are covered by softwood board 1" × 3". Nominal dimensions of wood used: 2" × 4".
•  The base (from softwood) exceeds the surface of the cartons by 1" on all 4 sides. Gaps between top boards must not exceed 3". Nominal dimensions of wood used: 3/4" × 4".
•  Cartons.
•  Moisture barrier that exceeds edges of cartons by 3"-4" on all 4 sides.
•  Stretch wrap around cartons.
