What precautions should be taken during the storage of PET matte silver thermal paper?

The following precautions should be taken during the storage of PET matte silver thermal paper:

1、 Environmental condition control

Temperature: PET matte silver thermal paper should be stored within a suitable temperature range, typically recommended at 23 ± 2 ℃. Avoid temperatures that are too high or too low, as extreme temperatures may cause label paper to deform, become fragile, or accelerate aging.

Humidity: Keep the storage environment dry, and it is recommended to control the relative humidity within the range of 60%~70% or 65% ± 5%. Moisture may decompose the chemical components of thermal paper, accelerating its fading process, so moisture prevention is crucial.

2、 Lighting and packaging

Avoid light: Avoid direct sunlight on PET matte silver thermal 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.

Sealed packaging: Use moisture-proof paper, film, or plastic bags to seal and package PET matte silver thermal paper to reduce the erosion of air, moisture, and dust on the label paper. For already printed labels, it is recommended to stack them in layers and avoid being too heavy to prevent glue from sticking through.

3、 Storage method

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

Height to ground distance: The height of each label paper should not exceed 1 meter, and the goods should be at least 10 centimeters above the ground to prevent moisture and contamination.

4、 Other precautions

Avoid contact with chemicals: When storing and using PET matte silver thermal paper, try to avoid contact with chemicals as they may damage the surface coating of the label paper, resulting in poor printing performance or inability to print.

Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the storage environment meets the requirements and whether the label paper is in good condition. If any abnormal situation is found, timely measures should be taken to handle it.

In summary, the correct storage method is crucial for maintaining the quality and extending the service life of PET matte silver thermal paper. Following the above precautions can ensure that the label paper is not damaged during storage and provide the best printing effect when needed.
