Take care when handling Formica® decorative laminates to avoid breakages and damage. Large sheets should always be handled by two people.
When loading and unloading, slide sheets rather than lifting them. Avoid abrasion between decorative faces.
Carry individual sheets with the decorative face held towards the body. Sheets become more rigid and thus easier to handle if they are bowed along the longitudinal axis. Sometimes it is convenient, especially with thinner grades of laminate, to roll the sheet, decorative face inward, into a cylinder of approximately 600mm diameter.
When transporting stacks of sheets by mechanical handling, use pallets of sufficient size and rigidity.
