    * **Storage Size/Dimensions**: Minimum 200 square feet, 15ft x 13ft area, Height clearance: 9 feet. A dedicated aisle space of 4 feet wide is required for access. * **Storage Conditions**: Dry storage is essential. The area should be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation and maintain air circulation. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. * **Special Handling**: Hosiery footwear is considered delicate. Items should be stored on flat surfaces, ideally with a layer of protective padding (cardboard or foam) to prevent scuffing and abrasion. Boxes should be labeled clearly with "Fragile - Hosiery Footwear". * **Stacking/Shelving**: Shelving units with adjustable height are recommended. Shelves should be spaced 18 inches apart to accommodate various box sizes. Pallet storage (48” x 40” pallets) is acceptable, but ensure boxes are securely stacked to prevent collapse. Consider using shelving with a lip to prevent items from falling. * **Access Requirements**: Loading dock needs a minimum width of 12 feet. A standard 8-foot wide access door is required. A clearance space of 3 feet adjacent to the loading dock is needed for forklift operation. Forklift access is required for efficient retrieval. Ensure adequate lighting within the storage area.
