Cartons can suffer damage if they are left for long periods. By following a few simple practices, you can ensure that your packaging is stored safely and is ready for use when required.

Lift Stock Off the Floor

Cardboard packaging deteriorates rapidly if stored incorrectly. Simple storage habits ensure that your packaging stock does not weaken or become warped over time.

Avoid Damp Areas

Storage near external walls, loading bays and areas where there is drainage from roofs and walls contain higher humidity. Therefore storage areas should be kept as dry as possible and well ventilated.

Stack Flat and Within Safe Limits

Stack your cardboard packaging flat rather than on edge and ensure you are not stacking boxes too high. Follow safe stacking and storage in warehouses to avoid collapse and crushing.

Keep Away From Heat and Sunlight

Avoid storing boxes near sources of heat and, where possible, store away from direct sunlight, such as near skylights and south-facing walls.

Rotate Your Stock

Use the oldest boxes first. e. oldest delivery first.
