proper storage
Appropriate keeping conditions
Proper storage refers to keeping items under conditions that preserve their quality, safety, or functionality.
The phrase appears most often in instructions for food, medicine, chemicals, and equipment: Proper storage of insulin requires refrigeration.
What counts as proper varies by context—temperature, humidity, light exposure, or container type may all matter.
