What precautions should I take when storing bulk wooden ice cream sticks in a warehouse?
What precautions should buyers take when storing bulk wooden ice cream sticks in a warehouse? How do we prevent them from splitting due to dryness?
Dear customer, once you receive your shipment of our wooden ice cream sticks, proper warehouse management becomes essential to maintaining their quality and preventing splitting or molding. Natural birchwood is highly sensitive to ambient temperature and humidity. We strongly recommend that your warehouse management team strictly implement the following four practical measures:
1. Keep original packaging sealed; avoid prolonged exposure after opening
Our products leave the factory with strictly controlled moisture levels (8% to 12%) and are completely sealed. Do not open the plastic inner bags or outer cartons before they are actually needed on the production line. The original packaging forms a micro-protective barrier that keeps dry air from stripping moisture from the wood, which is the most effective way to prevent dry-weather splitting.
2. Strictly control warehouse relative humidity (Recommended: 50% - 65%)
Wooden products require a balanced storage environment. If your warehouse runs high-power air conditioning or heating for long periods, or during dry seasons, the air humidity can easily drop below 40%, causing the wooden sticks to lose water and crack rapidly. We suggest placing thermo-hygrometers throughout the warehouse. If the environment becomes too dry, use industrial humidifiers or damp-mop the floors to maintain the ideal 50%- 65% humidity range.
3. Avoid direct heat sources and sudden temperature shifts
Never stack cargo near windows, direct sunlight, intense lighting, or warehouse heaters and A/C vents. Drastic temperature fluctuations and localized rapid drying are the primary culprits behind uneven wood stress, leading to widespread splitting and warping.
4. Stick to "off-the-floor/walls" and "FIFO" principles
All palletized cargo should be kept at least 15 cm off the floor and 30 cm away from walls to prevent dampness or cold drafts from directly penetrating the cardboard boxes. Additionally, strictly enforce a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory system to prevent any single batch from sitting in storage for too long.
