piece part handling

Greetings. Does anyone know of a good reference on the proper physical handling of surface mount devices? We have a number of very small builds, so our stockroom is very often issuing single piece quantities. The parts are protected from ESD, but the leads are getting bent. There are lots of boxes and such available, but I haven't seen a procedure or training program on when and how to use them. Thanks.
