How to properly store and maintain Kraft paper to ensure its long-term performance?

1. Selection and preparation of storage environment
As a high-quality paper, Kraft paper has relatively high requirements on the storage environment. First, a dry, well-ventilated, and dust-free indoor space should be selected as a storage location. Excessive humidity can cause the paper to absorb moisture, deform, or even become moldy; while poor ventilation can easily cause the paper to become damp or dusty, affecting its quality. Therefore, ensuring that the humidity of the storage environment is controlled at around 50% and regularly opening windows for ventilation is the basis for maintaining the excellent performance of Kraft paper.

2. Stacking and placement of paper
The stacking and placement of paper is an important part of ensuring that it maintains excellent performance for a long time. For Kraft paper, the way it is stacked and placed should follow some basic principles to maximize the quality and integrity of the paper. The stacking of paper should follow the principle of "handle it with care and be neat and orderly". During transportation, violent vibrations and collisions should be avoided to prevent damage to the paper. When stacking, paper should be stacked vertically and avoid stacking horizontally to reduce friction and wear between papers. At the same time, the stacking height should be moderate and should not be too high to avoid excessive pressure on the paper at the bottom. When placing paper, pay attention to the flatness and smoothness of the paper. Papers should be sorted into categories of the same size and type to make them easier to manage and find. For Kraft paper, due to its generally large size and weight, special care should be taken when placing it to avoid bending, wrinkles, or damage to the paper. In order to prevent the paper from getting damp and moldy, the floor where the paper is stacked should be kept dry and clean. Pallets or racks can be used to isolate the paper from the floor to ensure some air circulation between the paper and the floor. At the same time, when stacking papers, enough space should be left for ventilation and inspection. To prevent paper from fading or aging due to exposure to direct sunlight, the paper should be stacked in a location that avoids direct sunlight. You can use shades or curtains to keep the paper in a cool environment. For long-term storage of Kraft paper, it should also be turned and inspected regularly. Turning the paper can reduce the adhesion and indentation between the papers and keep the paper flat and smooth. At the same time, check whether the paper is deformed, moldy or damaged, and deal with it in time if found.

3. Measures to prevent pests and rats
To ensure the safety of Kraft paper, insect and rodent prevention should be done. Install rat-proof nets, insect repellents and other measures in storage areas, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance. At the same time, keep the storage area clean and hygienic to avoid food residues and other attracting pests.

4. Fire safety measures
Kraft paper is flammable, so fire safety measures are crucial. Fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment should be equipped in storage areas and their effectiveness should be checked regularly. At the same time, we strengthen fire safety awareness training for employees to ensure that they can respond quickly and effectively in emergencies.

5. Regular inspection and turnover
To maintain the excellent performance of Kraft paper, stored paper should be checked and turned regularly. Check whether the paper is deformed, moldy, damaged, etc. If found, deal with it in time. At the same time, turning the paper regularly can reduce the adhesion and indentation between the papers and maintain the flatness and smoothness of the paper.

6. Reasonable control of inventory
Reasonable control of Kraft paper inventory is also an important measure to ensure its long-term excellent performance. Excessive inventory will lead to a long backlog of paper, increasing risks such as moisture and deformation; while too little inventory may affect production progress and cost control. Therefore, a reasonable inventory plan should be developed based on actual demand and market demand to ensure a balance between paper supply and demand.

7. Precautions during transportation and use
When handling and using Kraft paper, you should also pay attention to some details. During transportation, violent vibrations and collisions should be avoided to avoid damaging the paper; during use, friction and scratches on the paper should be avoided to keep its surface flat and smooth.

Correct storage and maintenance of Kraft paper requires many aspects, including choosing a suitable storage environment, reasonable stacking and placement, taking insect-proof, rodent-proof and fire-proof safety measures, regular inspection and turning, and reasonable inventory control. Only by doing these things well can we ensure that Kraft paper maintains excellent performance for a long time and provide stable and reliable guarantee for production and use.
