Jeff asks:

Do you have a recommended storage condition requirement for corrugated material such as boxes, inners, etc. in terms of temperature, Relative Humidity (RH) and max storage time?

I can summarize the recommended practices for the storage of KD corrugated boxes.

• It is best to store unfilled boxes in the flat manner they were received.
• It is best to store at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% Relative Humidity (RH).
• Fluctuating RH can loosen the adhesive bond and invite the invasion of insects.
• Uneven moisture can cause warp.
• Fluctuating moisture can change box dimensions.
• Packaging should be stored on clean flat surfaces.
