How long is the shelf life of thermal label paper

The shelf life of thermal label paper is affected by many factors, mainly including storage environment, paper quality and production process. The following is an overview of the shelf life of thermal label paper, organized according to the information provided by different situations and sources:

Shelf life in general environment:

In the normal storage environment (that is, avoid high temperature and humidity, direct sunlight, and avoid contact with solvents, plasticizers and other chemicals), the shelf life of thermal label paper can usually reach several years. Specifically, some high-quality thermal label paper in the appropriate storage conditions, the handwriting to maintain clear time can even reach more than 10 years.

Shelf life in special environment:

If the heat-sensitive label paper is exposed to harsh environments, such as high temperatures (more than 30 degrees Celsius), direct sunlight or humid environments, its shelf life will be greatly shortened. For example, when exposed to the sun and the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the writing on thermal paper may only be preserved for about ten days.

Shelf life changes due to product differences:

Different brands and types of thermal label paper, its shelf life will be different. Some long-acting thermal label paper, through the special production process and material selection, can provide a longer shelf life. For example, some of the thermal labels that have been tested claim to be able to last 8, 10 years or even longer.

Saving Suggestions:

In order to extend the shelf life of heat-sensitive label paper, it is recommended to store it in a dry, cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and excessive temperature. In addition, the paper should also try to avoid contact with chemical substances, so as not to affect its preservation effect.

In summary, the shelf life of thermal label paper is not a fixed time range, but is jointly affected by a variety of factors. Therefore, when selecting and using thermal label paper, the expected storage environment and conditions should be fully considered to select the appropriate product and take corresponding storage measures.
