Does the small roll thermal label paper have a shelf life?

The small roll thermal label paper does have a shelf life. The storage time of thermal label paper is influenced by various factors, including the quality of the thermal paper material, printing temperature, storage environment conditions, and contact wear.

Generally speaking, unprinted thermal label paper can be stored for 1-2 years in a dry, dark environment at room temperature (15-25 ℃). If the storage environment is hot or humid, the storage time will be greatly shortened, possibly only about 6 months. Printed thermal label paper has a shorter shelf life, usually around 3-6 months, due to color changes on the surface. This is because the handwriting on thermal paper will gradually fade over time, especially in environments with high temperatures, direct sunlight, or humidity, where the handwriting is more likely to become blurry or disappear.

Therefore, in order to ensure the printing effect and shelf life of thermal label paper, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points when using:

Storage environment: Store the thermal label paper in a dry, dark, and room temperature environment, away from high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Timely use: Try to use up the thermal label paper within the shelf life to avoid fading or blurring of the handwriting due to prolonged storage.

Avoid contact: Try to minimize physical contact and friction of thermal label paper to avoid accelerating the disappearance of handwriting.

In summary, small roll thermal label paper has a shelf life, which is affected by various factors. To ensure printing quality and shelf life, it is recommended to pay attention to relevant conditions when using and storing.
