How to properly store small rolls of thermal label paper?

Proper storage of small rolls of heat-sensitive label paper is the key to ensuring their print quality and extending their service life. Here are some effective ways to save:

First, control of environmental conditions

1. Temperature and humidity:

Thermal labels should be stored at appropriate temperature and humidity. Generally speaking, the best storage temperature is 23±2℃, and the relative humidity is RH60-70%. Such an environment helps to maintain the stability and print quality of the paper.

Avoid exposing label paper to too high or too low temperatures and humidity, as this may accelerate the aging of the paper or lead to poor printing results.

2. Light control:

Heat-sensitive labels should be stored in a place away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight accelerate the fading and aging process of paper.

Second, packaging and storage method

1. Sealed package:

Unused small rolls of heat-sensitive label paper should be sealed with moisture-proof paper or film to prevent moisture intrusion.

The printed label paper should also be sealed in plastic film and sealed again after each use to keep the paper dry and clean.

2. Storage method:

The thermal label paper should be stacked upright to avoid deformation of the roll core.

Flat heat-sensitive label paper should be stored in a flat place to avoid folding or bending.

The height of each board should not exceed 1 meter, and the distance between the goods and the ground (cushion board) should be more than 10 cm to allow air circulation.

Third, other precautions

1. Avoid chemical contact:

Thermal label paper should avoid contact with chemicals, because chemicals may destroy the surface coating of the paper, resulting in poor printing results or no printing.

2. Regular inspection:

Check the storage condition of thermal label paper regularly to ensure that there is no moisture, discoloration or damage.

At the same time, regularly check and clean the printing equipment to keep it clean and normal operation to ensure print quality and extend the service life of the equipment.

3. Service life:

Thermal label paper has a certain storage period, generally 1-2 years, the specific time depends on the quality of the paper and storage conditions. Paper that has exceeded its shelf life may experience a decline in print quality or become unprintable.

Therefore, it is recommended to purchase and use thermal label paper reasonably according to actual demand to avoid waste caused by long-term hoarding.

To sum up, the correct preservation of small rolls of thermal label paper requires attention to environmental conditions control, packaging and storage methods, and other related matters. Only by doing this can we ensure that the quality of the label paper and the printing effect meet the actual needs.
