Commercial Cannabis Storage Best Practices

commercial cannabis storageCannabis that is properly cured and stored can last for months without reducing quality. However, improper storage can quickly deteriorate the plants. In general, it’s recommended to store cannabis in a cool, dark, and dry area. More specific best practices include:

  • Don’t expose cannabis plants to direct UV light after harvesting them. Store cured cannabis in a dark place or in opaque boxes.
  • Keep the temperature of the storage environment around 65°F. If the temperature is too high, the cannabis will dry out, reducing terpenes.
  • Maintain a stable relative humidity level of around 55-65%. If the humidity is too high, mold and mildew can flourish. If the humidity is too low, the plants will dry out.
  • Prolonged oxygen exposure can reduce potency, so it’s beneficial to store cannabis in airtight containers.
  • Make sure to secure your storage to comply with regulations properly. Secure storage may entail locks, vaults, or video monitoring.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of the chain of custody for certain stored materials to comply with local regulations.

Cannabis Dispensary Storage

commercial cannabis dispensary storageWhen it comes to cannabis dispensary storage, a key factor to consider is making the most efficient use of limited space in your retail area and the vault. High-density storage systems make excellent solutions for both areas.

High-density storage systems consist of shelving units mounted on sliding rails. The mobile units compact together, and stored products are accessed by opening a movable aisle in the system. By eliminating static aisles between the shelves, a high-density system can double your storage capacity in your existing footprint.

If your dispensary is limited on floor space, a high-density storage system can display retail products and securely store stock on the sales floor. Create display shelving at the ends of aisles while frequently storing accessed products within the system. You can also lock the system with a PIN or badge-swipe access to ensure that access to stored inventory is by authorized staff. As an added benefit, you can customize the storage system’s appearance to complement your dispensary’s interior design.

Cannabis Vault Storage

A high-density storage system can help you make the most of this limited space by doubling your storage capacity, improving organization, and allowing you to keep more products in stock.

Secure Overhead Cannabis Storage Cages

Another secure storage option for dispensaries or commercial growers short on space is overhead storage cages. Available in ceiling or wall-mounted models, these heavy-duty cages lift high-value inventory items, supplies, and equipment overhead, turning unused vertical space in your warehouse into additional storage space without disrupting your existing layout. The overhead cages also prevent product theft or damage by storing them out of reach.

The security cages come in dimensions up to 13′ x 6′ and can lift up to 4000 pounds. Authorized users can easily raise or lower the cage at the push of a button. The cage lifts are equipped with advanced safety features to ensure regulatory compliance and long-term reliability. Visit our online store to see our healthcare storage products.

Healthcare Testimonials

parkland hospital

“Southwest Solutions Group assisted us in the setup of equipment and services for our offsite medical record warehouse housing over one million charts. They have moved over 330,000 records from the main hospital to the medical record warehouse in a weekend time period, and converted thousands of charts for us. They have provided us a new chart tracking system, labeling system, and file conversion services over a multi-month process. Their IT group was able to modify our existing records management software to “talk” to our main software program so we could print color coded labels for our medical record charts. In addition, they have provided many other services to Parkland hospital including file shelving, hospital storage equipment needs, and software support. Southwest Solutions Group does exceptional work.”
