    Packing & Storage
    Packing Shellac is packaged in a 500g resealable plastic pouch, labeled with product details, safety instructions, and manufacturer information.
    Storage Shellac should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Store separately from oxidizing agents and acids. Avoid excessive humidity, as shellac is hygroscopic and can degrade or clump if exposed to moisture.
    Shipping Shellac should be shipped in tightly sealed containers away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Ensure it is properly labeled and handled in accordance with local, national, and international regulations. Store and transport in a cool, dry place, and keep it separate from oxidizing agents, strong acids, and foodstuffs.
