Default Laminate flooring - "acclimatize" in room in box?

Should one "acclimatize" their flooring in the room of installation with the
flooring in the plastic container (and box) or in the open air? Just
curious about humidity and if the humidity of the room can get at the
flooring if it is in the shipping plastic...

When I installed mine it said leave it in the boxes. I let it sit for a
week.

We typically unwrap the ends and sit for one week at least.
