How many pounds of raw paper = How many panels?
Yield per pound depends on the basis weight of the paper. For a quick estimate, normally 1 pound = 1 decorative sheet. For specific details on raw paper yield, contact a customer service representative.

Why can’t you mix resin systems on a panel?
Too much variance in resin systems top to bottom, could translate to different weighted sheets on top and bottom. This could lead to an imbalanced panel which contributes to warp. To learn more about warp, visit our reference library.

What is the minimum number of pounds to qualify for a special design match?

How many pounds of a solid color qualify for a special match?
3000-5000 lbs is typically a very small run for matching a solid color. The cost benefit of ‘matching’ a solid becomes more evident , the higher the volume.
