How to Store Capsules Properly?
If the proper storage conditions are observed, empty hard capsules may be stored for several years. Storage conditions are given in the table below:
| Min | Ideal | Max | |
| Relative Humidity | 40% | 50% | 60% |
| Temperature | 15 C | 20 C | 27 C |
| 60 F | 68 F | 75 F |
√ Store capsules away from direct sunlight (e.g. windows and skylights) as it will raise the surface temperature of a carton.
√ Store capsules away from hot water/air radiators, hot water pipes and steam pipes.
√ Store capsules on pallets off the ground.
√ Store capsules away from potential sources of water condensation e.g. under water pipes.
√ Do not store empty capsules in freezers. The effect of prolonged storage (over a few days) in areas outside the recommended conditions may cause the damage indicated in the table below:
| Damage to Capsule | Probable Cause | Capsule Moisture |
| Softening and loss of shape | Storage at high RH | Increased |
| Difficult to separate; lumps of capsules; visible condensation on surface of bag; some capsules slightly reduced in size | High temperature or temperature cycling during storage. | Decreased |
| Capsules shatter when pressure applied; all capsules slightly reduced in size. | Storage at low RH | Decreased |
