Follow the package
Use the maker’s actual storage directions. This site does not invent a universal shelf life, expiry period or temperature range for all disposable pads.
Make stock countable
Keep the size and piece count visible and distinguish opened packs from sealed packs. A carton with mixed sizes needs separate inventory entries.
Check before ordering again
Look for damaged packaging or an unreadable label and contact the maker if condition or shelf life is uncertain. We have not performed aging or durability tests.
Keep uncertainty out of the count
A sealed carton with an unreadable quantity is not a reliable inventory number. Resolve it from the order record or maker information instead of assuming its contents from the carton size. Keep potentially damaged packs separate while you ask for the appropriate handling instructions. The stock tool cannot judge packaging condition, usability or whether an individual product should be retained.
Before you decide
- Retain packaging directions
- Separate sizes
- Do not invent expiry dates
