ABSTRACT

The containers should then be placed in a plastic bag and sealed. Place the sealed plastic bag into a brown paper sack or evidence envelope and seal it. Care should be taken to ensure that the containers remain upright in the original package. This will prevent the liquid from leaking out and potentially contaminating other evidence. The plastic bag will also serve as a protective barrier in the event that the original container leaks some of the liquid. The outer markings on the paper sack should indicate the position in which the package should be stored.
