How do you properly store a printing pad?

We recommend that you store pads at room temperature (between 60 to 77°F). This is vital to maintain the pads at optimal working conditions for your next production run. Additionally, you should consider a cabinet or a shelf in a temperature controlled room.   
Sometimes the quality of the pad surface might be impacted by humidity. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the humidity levels are appropriately regulated to create an ideal storage environment for the pads.
Lastly, do avoid stacking the pads, as this can lead to damage and interfere with their compression properties.
