Storage conditions quietly determine how Vibe 2 performs months after production.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, storage and shelf life is where most of the value on the Vibe 2 is either created or lost.
A written internal standard for storage and shelf life makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Vibe 2
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Vibe 2.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
