How should I store my paper?

Storage of your vellum paper, vellum envelopes, and all other paper is vital. Keep your paper and envelopes cool and dry. Paper does not like moisture or heat as it tends to curl and ripple when exposed to it. The adhesive gum on envelopes tends to moisten and stick in heat and humidity.

The ideal temperature is 75� F or less. You do not want your papers to be exposed to excessive heats of 90� F or more for too long. If you live in a high humidity area be aware of where you store your papers!

The best thing you can do is to keep your papers out of direct sunlight. You may want to invest in some nice boxes where you can store your papers.

However, the most important thing about paper is that it is stored flat. You never want to store your papers on edge or on their end. They will ripple and curl right away regardless of heat or moisture. When you store your paper make sure that it is always stored perfectly flat - do not let edges hang off or you will find your paper starting to bend.
