Materials used in packaging, handling, and storage of parts should be:

The focus on cleanliness and contamination control in the packaging, handling, and storage of parts is critical to ensuring the safety and reliability of those parts, especially in aerospace and other high-stakes industries. Contaminated parts can lead to malfunctions, increasing the risk of failures that could have serious consequences. Therefore, materials used for these purposes must be clean and free from any foreign objects or substances that could adversely affect the integrity of the parts being handled.

Cleanliness helps prevent the introduction of dirt, dust, moisture, or other contaminants that could compromise the performance and safety of the parts. Using packaging materials that are clean and designed specifically to maintain the integrity of the components ensures that they remain in the best condition possible until they are needed. This aligns with best practices in foreign object elimination and overall quality assurance in manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Employing clean packaging materials also facilitates compliance with regulatory standards and customer requirements, reinforcing the importance of selecting the right materials for safe storage and handling.
