Can a mobile operator secure spare filters without crushing their packaging?

Can a mobile operator secure spare filters without crushing their packaging?

The label sets how a new filter is stored: flat or on edge in its original packaging, indoors and dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture, with no loads stacked on the media.

The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label instructs: “Store flat or on edge in the original packaging, indoors and dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not stack loads on the media.” It instructs: “Do not install a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged.” and “Do not cut, fold, trim, bend, puncture or alter the filter or its frame.”

How spares are secured in a vehicle is decided by the operator of that vehicle, within those directions. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
