Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts.

Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.

Office materials should be stored in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture.

For office equipment, Avoid storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
