The Carol products will be marked to match corresponding reel lengths, which may be 250, 500 or 1,000 feet, with large, visible printing for accuracy with 1% tolerance.
“TRU-Marked product can cut down on shortages and scrap both in the field and at distribution,” said Todd Sweeney, Product Manager of Carol Brand Cord Products, General Cable. “By always knowing how much is left on the reel, this system will improve the efficiency of our distribution customers, giving them the ability to more effectively manage their partial reel inventories, improving customer service, and saving on scrap cost.”
