Packing and Delivery

We understand the importance of your project and the value of the laminate sheets you order from us. That's why we've developed a meticulous shipping process to ensure that your laminate sheets arrive at your doorstep in perfect condition:

  • Each laminate sheet is rolled around a sturdy 3-inch core, providing a solid structure that prevents bending or warping. To cushion the sheet and protect it from any potential impact during transit, we wrap it in foam. This foam layer acts as a shock absorber, ensuring that the laminate sheet remains undamaged even if the package is jostled or dropped.
  • But we don't stop there. The foam-wrapped core is then placed inside a robust box, providing an additional layer of protection. This box is designed to withstand the rigors of shipping, ensuring that the laminate sheet inside remains secure and undamaged.
