Most resin/catalyst systems have a limited shelf life which, depending upon storage temperatures and conditions, may be as short as six months. Purchase of the resin cartridges should be limited to the quantities to be used within the shelf life. Care should be taken to store the boxes under conditions which conform to the manufacturer's recommendations. In critical applications, it is good practice to test the activity of the resin by sacrificing one cartridge from each box, before the contents are used underground. This can be done by breaking the compartment separating the resin and catalyst by hand and, after mixing the components, measuring the set time to check whether this is within the manufacturer's specifications.

After collecting the samples, ship liquid and slurry samples in quart-sized plastic bottles with screwtop lids. Only fill bottles half full to allow for gas expansion, and squeeze flexible bottles slightly before screwing on the lid. Place solid and semisolid samples in zipper-closing plastic bags, and place a second plastic bag over both liquid and solid samples for extra safety. Use cardboard boxes to ship sample bottles and bags. Pack the box tightly with expanded Styrofoam peanuts or shredded paper and seal with strapping tape.

There are many types and colors of international shipping labels and tags that are used in the shipping of different devices. Figure 9.4(a) shows labels that are used on shipping boxes to indicate that the materials are fragile and should be handled with care. Such materials are glassware, sensitive electronic devices, lenses, photonic measurement devices, etc. Figure 9.4(b) shows special safety labels and information labels, and Figure 9.4(c) shows a label indicating the box can be recycled after use.

In total, there are 24 boxes of consumables used in these assembly lines. There are 5 different types of boxes (A, B, C, D and E): (a) 14 of type A (30 × 15 × 20 cm), (b) 1 of type B (40 × 30 × 30 cm), (c) 4 of type C (40 × 15 × 30 cm), (d) 4 of type D (60 × 30 × 40 cm) and (e) 1 of type E (51 × 9 × 40 cm) boxes all of which are typical dimensions of boxes with consumables for the automotive industry. Similarly, to the case described in Section 2, a different type and a different number of parts are required for each assembly step.
