How should transparent thermal label paper be stored?

The storage of transparent thermal sensitive label paper requires special attention to environmental conditions, packaging methods, and storage details. The following are some specific storage suggestions:

1、 Environmental conditions

Temperature: The ideal storage temperature for transparent thermal label paper is 23 ± 2 ℃. Avoid storing label paper in environments that are too hot or too cold, as extreme temperatures may cause the label paper to deform, become brittle, or affect the adhesion of the adhesive.

Humidity: The relative humidity should be maintained within the range of 60% to 70% or 65% ± 5%. Excessive humidity may cause the label paper to become damp, thereby affecting its printing effect and adhesive performance; However, low humidity may cause the label paper to become brittle.

2、 Packaging methods

Moisture proof packaging: Use moisture-proof paper, film, or plastic bags to seal and package transparent thermal sensitive label paper to reduce the erosion of air, moisture, and dust on the label paper.

Layered stacking: For already printed labels, they should be stacked in layers and avoid being too heavy to prevent glue from sticking through.

Vertical stacking: For transparent thermal label paper packaged in rolls, it should be stacked vertically to prevent curling and deformation. Flat label paper should be stored flat.

3、 Storage details

Avoid light storage: Avoid direct sunlight on transparent thermal label paper, as ultraviolet radiation can accelerate the decomposition of chemicals in the thermal coating, causing the handwriting to fade. The label paper should be stored in a cool, dark place.

Height limit: The height of each label paper should not exceed 1 meter to prevent stacking too high and causing deformation of the bottom label paper under pressure.

Storage off the ground: Goods should be at least 10 centimeters off the ground to prevent moisture from affecting the label paper.

4、 Special protective measures

Plastic sealing: Although plastic sealing may accelerate the aging of thermal sensitive paper (as the sealing process may require heating), if cold mounting is used instead of heating, and non adhesive plastic film and cold mounting film are used for packaging, transparent thermal sensitive label paper can be protected to some extent from external environmental influences. However, it should be noted that plastic sealing cannot completely prevent the fading of thermal paper handwriting.

Copying or scanning: If it is necessary to store the information on transparent thermal sensitive label paper for a long time and there are high requirements for storage quality, it can be considered to copy or scan the content on the label paper into an electronic document for storage. This not only avoids the fading problem of thermal paper caused by environmental factors, but also facilitates information sharing and backup.

In summary, the preservation of transparent thermal sensitive label paper requires comprehensive consideration of environmental conditions, packaging methods, and storage details. By taking appropriate preservation measures, the service life of transparent thermal sensitive label paper can be extended, and the stability of its printing effect and adhesive performance can be ensured.
