Ribbon cartridges require storage areas of at least 200 sq ft with 12 ft height clearance. Use 5-tier shelving for 48” x 40” pallets and ensure level, dry floors to prevent damage.

Protect cartridges with bubble wrap or foam inserts to prevent impact damage. Use dedicated racking systems, maintain FIFO rotation, and ensure forklift access with 10 ft clearance at loading docks.

Individual padding, secure shelving, and palletized stacking are critical. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure ventilation to maintain cartridge longevity.

Loading dock dimensions (12ft x 10ft) and door widths (9 ft) are required for forklift access. Include security measures like monitored access to safeguard inventory.

Secure storage, specialized handling, and compliance with NMFC/HTS codes increase logistics costs. Optimize supply chain efficiency through experienced personnel and strategic warehouse placement.
