Japanese term or phrase: 端資材
I am not sure if the word "端" means "end" in the following context:
一度開封した端資材は、使用期限内までの管理　として、箱物は内層袋を閉め、外装箱の口を密閉する。
Can it be translated as end-material?
Thank you!

open box/bag
Explanation:
いったん開封された資材、という意味だと思います。その前の「一度開封した」を言い換えているのでしょう。ここでは「端資材」そのものを訳出する必要は無いと思います。

Once a box/bag is open, ...

Further explanation:
端 here means "incomplete" " less than a whole unit." So, if you have to, you could render it as "incomplete box/bag." Look up dictionaries for
端株、端切れ、端数
then you will get the meaning. It is pronounced as "ha" not "hashi." 端資材 is not a standard expression, though.
