Can storage cabinets protect contents from humidity?

Standard steel or laminate storage cabinets are not designed to control internal humidity — they are not sealed enclosures. In humid environments, the interior of a closed steel cabinet will equilibrate to ambient humidity levels, which can cause paper documents to curl, metal items to rust, and some electronic media to degrade. For humidity-sensitive document storage, a dehumidified document safe or a climate-controlled storage room is required. For offices in moderately humid climates, including small silica gel packets inside cabinets used for important document storage provides modest moisture absorption.
