rollenfertig

Rollenfertig is a German term used in manufacturing, logistics and packaging to describe items that are prepared for handling or processing on a roll. The word is formed from Rolle (roll) and fertig (ready). In practice, 'rollenfertig' indicates that a material is supplied wound on a roll (or spool) and is ready for feeding into a roll-to-roll process, a labeler, a dispenser, or other continuous equipment. The designation is common for flexible materials such as films, foils, papers, adhesives, and textiles, as well as for some labels and tapes. It can also describe goods that have been wound onto a master roll and are intended to be unwound for further processing.

In procurement and cataloging, 'rollenfertig' helps distinguish rolled goods from cut sheets, bundles, or loose-stock. The term can appear in specifications, price lists, or work orders, sometimes alongside details like roll width, core size, and total length/area. Depending on the industry, additional terms such as 'auf Rolle geliefert' (delivered on a roll) or 'Rollenware' may be used to convey similar meaning. The concept emphasizes efficiency in automated handling, storage, and processing by enabling continuous operation and reducing handling steps.

Limitations: Because terminology varies by sector, 'rollenfertig' may have slightly different nuances. When precision is required, it is advisable to check the specific product specification or supplier definition.
