Pallet Breakdown and Handling Guide

Inspect the pallet and products on receipt, before unpacking or returning anything to the store. If you see damage or have questions, contact CASTICO Customer Care at (844) 364-2502 or contact@castico-tx.com.

Unpacking the pallet

  1. Remove the stretch wrap. Take the stretch wrap off the pallet and keep the packing slip.
  2. Cut the black straps. Locate and cut the three (3) black straps securing the first box.
  3. Cut the white strap. Locate and cut the one (1) white strap to release the second box on the opposite side.
  4. Remove the retaining boards. Use appropriate tools to pry off the three (3) retaining boards and remove the final box.

Handling and storage

  • Stack flat. Stack all boxes flat, from the widest and largest to the smallest. Store them flat on the floor or in the back of a truck.
  • Do not lean at an angle. Do not lean or store panels at an angle. Keep them vertical or properly supported.
  • Carry vertically. Always carry and transport pieces on their edge (vertically) rather than flat, to avoid center sag and stress fractures. Use a two-person team at minimum.

See Bowing & Warping for how storage affects panel flatness.
