Is special storage required for checks, envelopes, or deposit bags?
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations: For optimal storage and use conditions, please avoid extremes in temperature and humidity. Checks should be stored and used at room temperature of between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, if possible. When there is a variance between storage and processing environment(s), it is recommended that the checks be moved to the processing environment and aged for one hour for each degree of temperature variance. Example: Storage location: 85 degrees, Using location: 68 degrees, 17 degrees difference. Therefore the checks should be moved to using environment 17 hours prior to use. Excessive dust, from whatever source, will negatively affect the sealing properties of the document. Avoid opening shrink-wrapped or polybagged documents until just prior to use. Make sure that output printers and folders / sealers are kept as clean as possible to avoid contamination.
