We are a small company and are interested in using Immersion silver PCB's for RoHS compliance.
After reading many articles I am still not sure about:
1. What is the best way of handling the PCB's?
2. What is the best economical way to store them?
3. What is the maximum length of PCB storage without degrading it before manufacturing?

1. What is the best way of handling the PCB's?
You should never handle the boards with bare hands as the oils and acids from your skin can affect solderability. I would recommand using the light weight white cotton gloves.
2. What is the best economical way to store them?
Boards should always be stored in vacuum sealed bags from the vendor. Best if kept in an air conditioned area to control humidity.
3. What is the maximum length of PCB storage without degrading it before manufacturing?
For Silver Immersion the recommanded maximum shelf life is 6 months.
