•
Paper that has been stapled, folded, photocopied, or wrinkled

Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, padding, or adhesives with release strips

Media Storage Guidelines
If media handling problems are a common occurrence, review the following storage guidelines
with the customer.
•
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
•
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity
•
Avoid light, heat, and dampness.
•
Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier
than outside walls where moisture can collect.
•
Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
•
Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
•
Do not open sealed packages of paper until needed. Leave paper in the original packag-
ing. For most commercial grades, the wrapper’s inner lining protects the paper.
•
Some specialty media is packaged inside sealed plastic bags. Leave the media inside the
bag until needed; return unused media to the bag.
