Freezing

Post Freezing Treatment

  • Remove bagged items from the freezer, but do not open the seal on the bag until the package has returned to room temperature (12-24 hours). It is best to thaw the item as slowly as possible.
  • Handle the package as little as possible after removing it from the freezer to prevent damage to the items inside, as they are usually brittle when frozen.
  • Once the package has returned to room temperature, the bag may be opened and the items removed.
  • Take the clean book and place on the tech services gift book shelf.
