    Packaging & Availability

    Packaging Type
    Packaging

    All veils are wound onto a heavy duty 3 inch I.D. cardboard core, immediately sealed against contamination in a polyethylene bag and identified with a unique, product specific label. Based upon quantities, Pearlveil is shipped on wooden pallets, typically 9 rolls per pallet. Optional packaging is available. All material is supplied in roll goods form with trimmed edges.

    Storage & Handling

    Storage

    For best results, Pearlveil should be stored indoors, with temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) and relative humidity below 80%. It should remain upright, on a pallet and in the original packaging until ready to use.
