How long is the shelf life of thermal label paper

The shelf life of thermal label paper varies depending on a number of factors, including the quality of the paper, coating formulation, storage environment, and so on. In general, the shelf life of ordinary thermal label paper is about 2 to 3 years, but there are some poor quality thermal paper may only have a shelf life of a few months. The long-acting thermal paper can be stored in a normal environment (avoid high temperature and humidity, direct sunlight, avoid contact with solvents, plasticizers, etc.) for more than 10 years.

The specific shelf life also needs to be determined according to the product manual or the information provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the storage environment also has a great impact on the shelf life of thermal label paper. If the paper is exposed to high temperature, high humidity or direct sunlight for a long time, it may cause the writing to fade or blur, thereby shortening its shelf life.

Therefore, in order to extend the shelf life of heat-sensitive label paper, it is recommended to store it in a dry, cool, light-free environment, and ensure that the surface of the paper is clean and pollution-free. At the same time, attention should also be paid to checking the quality and printing effect of the paper before use to ensure that it meets the requirements of use.
