    Dimensions & Weight (Packaged)

    - **Storage Size/Dimensions:** Minimum 200 square feet, or a 15ft x 13ft area. Height clearance: 12 feet is recommended for efficient storage. - **Storage Conditions:** The storage area should be dry and well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation and maintain product quality. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. - **Special Handling:** Laminate wood is relatively fragile. Pallet wrapping or protective sheeting is highly recommended for all stacks and individual boards. Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting surfaces. Consider using corner protectors. - **Stacking/Shelving:** Pallet storage is ideal, utilizing 48” high pallets. Alternatively, adjustable shelving units with a minimum shelf height of 5 feet can be used. Stacking should be limited to no more than 3-4 pallets high for stability. - **Access Requirements:** A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet is necessary for truck access. The warehouse door should be a minimum of 10 feet wide for easy maneuverability. A clear aisle space of 10 feet should be maintained around all storage areas for forklift access. Ensure adequate overhead clearance (at least 14 feet) for forklift operation.
