SCI material must be double wrapped prior to giving the package to the courier.

• A. Double wrapped
• B. Wrapped in brown paper
• C. Sealed in a plastic bag
• D. Left unsealed

Answer: (A)

Double wrapping provides two independent layers of protection to keep SCI material secure during transit. The inner wrap tightly encases the contents, containing them and shielding them from moisture, dust, and casual handling. The outer wrap adds opacity and another barrier, making the contents not visible and making tampering more detectable if the outer layer is opened. This layered approach reduces exposure risk if the package is mishandled and supports custody and accountability during handoff to the courier. Wrapping only once, using brown paper, or a plastic bag, or leaving the material unsealed, does not offer the same level of concealment or tamper resistance, increasing the chance of exposure or compromise. Hence, the proper practice is to double wrap before giving the package to the courier.
