Keep the packaging and directions that came with your patches. Storage requirements belong to the specific product and packaging version you receive.
Before storing
Read the storage instructions on the package. Keep unused products in their intended packaging and follow the printed precautions.
Before opening
Check the condition of the packaging and the printed expiration and lot information. If anything is missing or unclear, send the team a photo of the package before use.
When traveling
Carry the original packaging so the product name and directions stay with the patches. Avoid opening a package before you are ready to follow its instructions.
