or you could start labeling them by hand.
Our process we developed was when ever the roll came off the machine, like as a step of "unloading the machine", you would use the caliper to math the remaining media, and that would be labeled on the open roll.
So we could easily check to make sure the open roll had enough media to complete whatever run came next.
Sometimes that would leave us with a few open rolls of the same media, but this was on a production floor with 10 printers.
Also my experience is that you can feel the tension in calendared vinyl, but that's my experience.

We gut little "T" shapes out of scrap plastics and use a dry erase marker to label every roll that arrives. We have to keep track of lot numbers on every order/print for MCS stuff so it helps making that easy to find. When the roll goes on the printer the T goes into the back of the RIP's monitor to show you which printer has which roll on it.

What are you gonna do with the vinyl? What do you need it for?

Since my old post got deleted, hahahaaha! Your coworkers are jerks for surrounding that bathroom. If it were my shop, at some point someone would line up rolls while the bathroom was occupied... Once had a guy ratchet strap a door shut by tying the doorknob to a desk. The guy in the bathroom had a screwdriver on him and took the knob apart!

I don't really have any coworkers. This is my responsibility. Recently I cleaned that up some. I'm almost down to what will fit on the racks.

So a sort of Hari-kari scenario then?
