Reel and Roll Changeover Verification Log

Inspection log for verifying correct core fit, splice quality, roll identification, and label accuracy at each reel changeover on a converting line to reduce mixed-material and mislabeled-roll errors.

Changeover Identification

• Line, machine, and shift identified
• Previous roll removed and incoming roll staged at the correct position
• Incoming roll ID matches production order or traveler
• Material grade, width, and lot number verified against specification

Core Fit and Roll Condition

• Core size matches shaft or chuck requirement
• Core ends are undamaged, round, and seated securely
• Roll edges, wraps, and outer surface are free from crushing, telescoping, or contamination
• Incoming roll orientation and unwind direction are correct

Splice Verification

• Splice location identified and documented
• Splice is straight, secure, and fully bonded
• Splice thickness, overlap, and alignment are within line standard
• No loose tape, wrinkles, adhesive squeeze-out, or web contamination at splice

Label and Material Control

• Roll label is present, legible, and matches the job specification
• Old labels, hold tags, or obsolete identifiers removed or covered
• Mixed-material risk controls in place for adjacent rolls, scrap, and WIP

Startup Authorization and Sign-Off

• Line cleared for startup after verification
• Any deficiency or non-conformance documented with corrective action
• Inspector or operator signature
