Never ship a cartridge in a commercial shipping envelope. Always place it in a
box or package.
v
If you ship the cartridge in a cardboard box or a box of a sturdy material, ensure
the following:
– Place the cartridge in polyethylene plastic wrap or bags to protect it from
dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
– Pack the cartridge snugly; do not allow it to move around.
– Double-box the cartridge (place it inside a box, then place that box inside the
shipping box) and add padding between the two boxes.
Environmental and shipping specifications for tape cartridges
Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment to
prevent condensation in the drive (the time will vary, depending on the
environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed).
