When it comes to storing your packaging materials for your business it really is not as simple as throwing your cardboard boxes up against the wall. You could definitely do that but we here at Prime Auto Routes GmbH don’t recommend it. We want to make sure that no matter the size of your business you have the tools to make the right choices on packaging storage for you and your supplies.
Environmental Conditions That Will Affect Your Packaging
Believe it or not, there are many outside factors that affect a product’s packaging. The types of packaging, sizing, thickness, and storage conditions are all examples of variables that can affect the life and quality of protection that packaging provides. Sometimes these things can be minor but it is important to know so you can make the best choice for your supplies. Temperature changes are a big factor when it comes to most types of storage materials, whether they be paper or plastic.
Humidity can cause cardboard and paper bags to retain moisture increasing their fragility. Extreme temperatures can affect plastic and paper materials causing them to melt or become rigid. Dust is messy and can cause tape not to stick properly and stretch film not to work as well as it should.
Best Practices For Storing Cardboard and Paper Packaging
When storing paper packaging, whether cardboard or paper bags, you are going to want to keep it off the ground. This will help to keep it safe from pests, dirt, and foot traffic. This can also reduce dust buildup and water damage from water dripping or leaking onto floors. If possible store boxes inside one or more central boxes to reduce exposure to dirt and dust. The same can be done for bags.
Store in a climate-controlled area if possible to keep paper from becoming moist and tearing or breaking down. The packaging your goods come in is also the first impression many people get of your business. It’s important to make their first thoughts and opinions on your company the best they can be. The last thing you want to do is offer your product in sub-par packaging.
