Flexible dies, much like magnetic cylinders, should be stored in their original boxes, Wilks says. But another best practice he has observed in the field is the use of large plastic bags. Dies are placed in these bags, which are then hung on a rack and can be categorized for easy identification.
“The plastic bag does a number of things,” Wilks says. “One, it protects the knife surface because the plastic itself is fairly thick, and second, it keeps moisture away. If it rains outside and the humidity inside the plant goes up, the dies are all packed inside plastic bags. They’re dry and not exposed to the air.”
