How should I store PLA products?

PLA products should be stored away from heat sources and in a temperature-controlled environment. PLA has a temperature threshold of 110-120 degrees.

The main culprits for PLA items melting and warping are cases or sleeves being exposed to direct sunlight (e.g., left outside, not being stored immediately following delivery, etc.). Or, cases or sleeves not being stored in a temperature-controlled environment (e.g., being in a hot kitchen, non air-conditioned pantry/storage space, hot food truck, etc.)

Take steps as soon as your products are delivered to make sure your PLA products are stored properly. For more info on PLA, check out our Guide to PLA.
