Packing, transport and storage
Packing of plywood
Sheets of plywood are piled up on single-decked pallets made up for panel size. Depending on client’s requirements packets are secured with foil, cardboard or hardboard. All packets are banded with plastic band, with edges secured by clips. The height of the palette is 12 cm. Standard packet heights are 80 cm and 40 cm (without pallete). Number of pallets of certain thickness contained in single packet is shown in table below. There are forklift trucks being used for loading pallets. Vehicles collecting plywood should have possibility of side loading – min. loadingwidth - 2,48 m.
Numbers of plates of certain thickness contained in single packet:
| Thickness of the panel [mm] | 80 cm packet | 40 cm packet |
| 4 | 200 | 100 |

Transport
During transport plywood shall be properly secured. Loading and unloading must be curried in such a way as to avoid damage of the panels. The carrier vehicle must protect the load against water, humidity and other atmospheric factors. Packets must be placed horizontally. Pallets ought to be securely strapped to the transport deck to exclude possibility of movement.
Storing
Plywood panels shall be stored horizontally. They should not be placed directly on the ground. One should avoid storing of panels of different sizes, different wood types, and different glue bond on the same pile. The storage place for storing plywood should provide protection against direct exposure to water, excessive humidity, and drastic temperature changes.
