Roll or pole crush marks is a common condition seen in newly installed carpet.
Roll or Pole crush marks develop as a result of weight of the carpet on top of itself during storage, or from the weight of other carpet rolls during transport.
This causes a bending and compression of the pile yarns that can be seen as light or dark width-wise bands across a carpet.
The bands vary in length and are spaced at increasing or decreasing intervals, depending on which end of the roll you look at.
Roll or pole crush marks will be more closely spaced as you get closer to the roll's core, and will become increasingly wider spaced as the circumference of the carpet increases with each wrap around the roll.
