Packman: Logistic Packaging: Where to store poly mailer
Storing poly mailers properly is essential to maintain their quality and ensure they are ready for use when needed. Here are some tips on where and how to store poly mailers:
-
Dry and Cool Place: Store poly mailers in a dry and cool place to prevent them from getting damaged or deteriorating. Avoid areas with high humidity as moisture can weaken the material and reduce its integrity.
-
Flat Storage: Lay the poly mailers flat to avoid creasing or folding which can compromise their sealing ability.
-
Protect from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the poly mailers to become brittle and less flexible. Store them away from windows or direct sunlight.
-
Stacking: If you need to stack them, do so carefully without putting excessive weight on them to prevent deformation.
-
Organized Storage: Keep them in an organized manner to easily access them when needed. Using bins, shelves, or storage boxes can help keep them tidy and prevent them from getting crushed.
-
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect the quality of poly mailers. Store them in a place where the temperature remains relatively stable.
-
Away from Chemicals: Keep poly mailers away from chemicals, solvents, or sharp objects that could potentially damage them.
-
Check for Damage: Before using, always check for any signs of damage like tears, holes, or weak seals to ensure they are in good condition and will protect the contents during shipping.
-
Use FIFO (First In, First Out): If you have a large stock of poly mailers, use the FIFO method to ensure that the oldest mailers are used first to maintain freshness and quality.
-
Resealable Bags: If your poly mailers are stored in resealable bags, ensure they are properly sealed to keep out dust, moisture, and insects.
Remember, the goal is to store poly mailers in a way that maintains their quality and ensures they are ready for use when you need them. Proper storage can extend the lifespan of poly mailers and help you avoid any issues during shipping.
