How to Store Flat-Packed Long Boxes Safely in Warehouses
Warehouse storage tips for flat-packed long boxes: keep them dry, flat, and ready to use.
Storage challenges
Quick answer
Store flat on pallets in a dry area, off the floor, and away from heat sources or external walls where condensation forms. Stack flat-packed long boxes no more than 1m high to prevent compression damage to bottom boxes. Keep them in their delivery wrapping until needed to protect from dust and moisture. Ensure the storage area length accommodates the box length with access clearance.

Space planning
Calculate storage footprint by box length x pallet width x stack height. A pallet of 200 flat-packed 1.5m boxes stacked 0.5m high occupies roughly 1.5m x 1.2m of floor space. Plan for access clearance on at least one long side for picking. Consider call-off orders to reduce storage requirements.
