The storage time is too long indeed may affect the performance of long-acting thermal label paper. This influence is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Adhesive failure
The adhesive of thermal label paper will gradually fail over time, especially under improper storage conditions. After the adhesive fails, the label paper will be difficult to stick firmly on the required items, thus affecting its use effect.
2. Coating aging
The waterproof, oil-resistant, and anti-fouling coatings on the long-acting heat-sensitive label paper may age due to long-term storage. After the coating aging, the protective performance of the label paper will be greatly reduced, and it can not meet the specific needs of use.
3. Fading or blurred information
The print on the thermal label paper may fade or become blurry due to prolonged storage. This is mainly due to the reaction of the heat-sensitive coating with oxygen or other chemicals in the air, resulting in color changes.
4. Paper is deformed or damaged
If the humidity of the storage environment is too high or other unfavorable conditions exist, the long-lasting heat-sensitive label paper may be deformed or damaged. This will directly affect the effect and life of the label paper.
In order to extend the performance and service life of long-acting thermal label paper, it is recommended to take the following storage measures:
Store the labels in a dry environment with proper temperature (10 ° C to 25 ° C) and away from direct sunlight.
Use sealed packaging materials such as plastic film to seal the label paper to prevent it from reacting with oxygen or other chemicals in the air.
Avoid rubbing or scraping the label paper against sharp objects to prevent damage to its surface coating.
In addition, according to the information of some professional websites, long-acting thermal label paper can be stored for a long time under suitable storage conditions, such as 2 years or even longer. However, the specific storage time will also be affected by many factors such as the quality of the label paper, storage conditions, and environmental factors. Therefore, in actual use, the storage time and performance changes of the label paper should be reasonably evaluated according to the specific situation.
