Cartridge

Attention: It is imperative to package cartridges properly for shipment. Cartridges shipped with inadequate packaging could be damaged, which may result in a loss of recorded data. Adhere to the following packaging recommendations when shipping tapes off-site.

To ship a cartridge, place it in a sealed, moisture-proof bag to protect the cartridge from moisture, contaminants, and physical damage. Ship the cartridge in a suitable shipping container with enough packing material to cushion the cartridge and to prevent the cartridge from moving inside the container.

If shipping more than one cartridge in the same container, use a Multiple Cartridge Container. Place the cartridges inside the Multiple Cartridge Container, and then pack the Multiple Cartridge Container in the Shipping Overpack Box using the provided packaging material. The Multiple Cartridge Container and the Shipping Overpack Box are designed to protect the cartridges during shipment. The flammability rating of the Perm-A-Store Multiple Cartridge Containers is UL94-HB.

You can purchase Multiple Cartridge Containers and Shipping Overpack Boxes from the following supplier:
