Pharmaceutical StorageÂ

What Is Pharma Storage?Â
Pharma storage involves using storage units that are designed with specialized features to ensure that business owners, medical professionals, pharmacists, and retailers can store pharmaceutical products in controlled and organized environments. These features typically include climate control, which regulates the temperature and humidity within the unit, so that products do not lose their effectiveness or quality. They also include additional security measures to prevent anyone besides authorized business owners and their employees from accessing the products as needed.   Â

Importance of Pharmaceutical StorageÂ
Pharmaceutical storage facilities are important because temperature and humidity controls regulate the integrity of the products, ensuring they are safe to sell to customers and patients and exhibit optimal effectiveness when used. These units also help business owners adhere to industry rules and regulations regarding how to store medications and other pharma products, which are often established by government agencies and manufacturers.  Â
Strong security measures and restricted access help keep products safe and prevent them from ending up in the wrong hands. Knowing your products are safe, secure, and compliant means you can run your business more efficiently and spend more time focusing on what really matters — treating patients.  Â
Pharmaceutical Storage ConsiderationsÂ
When choosing pharmaceutical storage solutions for your business, it’s important to consider security, access, and climate-controlled options. At Stack-N-Stor, numerous storage units are available in a variety of sizes with all these features and more.  Â
SecurityÂ
Security is a top priority at Stack-N-Stor. It starts with our fenced-in and gated property, which ensures only authorized customers have access to the facility. High-resolution cameras are strategically placed around the premises, keeping watch 24/7. Because technology can’t completely replace human oversight, each of our facilities has a manager onsite who performs regular security checks during business hours. Â
AccessÂ
Some of the same features that keep your pharmaceutical products secure also help ensure you have access to them as needed. A keypad sits at every entry way, and every customer has their own unique code to get inside. Stack-N-Stor also has extended gate hours, so you can access your products at times that are convenient for you.  Â
Climate-ControlledÂ
Temperature-controlled pharmaceutical storage keeps sensitive products stored within a specified temperature range and also helps control humidity. Moisture can have a negative impact on medications and similar products, causing them to break down or lose their effectiveness.
Climate-control storage may potentially extend the shelf life of certain products and help you comply with any regulations or specifications set by government agencies or the product’s manufacturer. These units are also less likely to contain dust or pests that could contaminate pharmaceutical products.  Â

Pharmaceutical Storage FAQsÂ
Can I store hazardous materials?Â
No, hazardous materials are not typically allowed in storage units. They could potentially combust and start fires, creating a dangerous situation for all customers and staff. In some cases, storing them could even be against the law. For questions about storing specific products, always ask the manager of the storage facility where your unit is located.  Â
Are your storage units inside?Â
Stack-N-Stor is home to both indoor and outdoor drive-up storage units. When storing pharmaceutical products, an indoor option with climate-control features is usually the best choice. These units are cleaner, more secure, and equipped to regulate the environment inside the unit. Indoor units also require keypad access so you can store your pharma products confidently with this added layer of security.  Â
What does climate-controlled mean?Â
Climate-controlled storage units are units with state-of-the-art systems in place that regulate both temperature and humidity, whereas pharma temperature-controlled storage units only regulate temperature. Climate-controlled units keep the temperature inside between 55- and 85-degrees Fahrenheit, no matter what the weather is like outside. Powerful HVAC systems, dehumidifiers, and insulation technology also keep humidity levels low and improve general air quality inside these specialized units.  Â
Do you accept deliveries?Â
Some Stack-N-Store facilities may accept deliveries, but each facility has its own rules and considerations. It’s always best to check with the manager of the facility where your unit is located to determine if this is an option.
