How you store your latex gloves is critical to their integrity. Avoid exposing packaged latex gloves to heat, too-low or too-high humidity and light. I recommend storage conditions of 66?F to 72?F, relative humidity of 40 percent to 60 percent, and keeping the gloves on a lower shelf not directly exposed to sun or ultraviolet light. But there's more to proper storage than that. Here's what you need to know.
