To extend the storage life of color thermal label paper, you can start from the following aspects:
First, control of environmental conditions
1.Temperature and humidity:
Color thermal label paper can significantly extend its life when stored under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. In general, under the environment of 23±2 ° C and relative humidity RH60-70% (or RH65±5%), label paper can be stored for a long time, usually for one year, and some glue can even reach two years.
Avoid exposing label paper to extreme high or low temperatures to prevent adhesive failure or damage to heat-sensitive coatings.
2.Illumination:
Prevent direct sunlight from shining on the color thermal label paper, because ultraviolet light will accelerate the fading and aging of the thermal coating. Store the labels in a cool, dark place.
Second, packaging and storage method
1.Packing material:
The color heat-sensitive label paper is sealed with moisture-proof paper or plastic film to prevent moisture and oxygen in the air from coming into direct contact with the label paper, thereby slowing its oxidation and fading process.
For the label paper packed in rolls, it should be stacked upright; Flat label paper should be stored flat to avoid folding or curling.
2.Storage details:
When stored, the height of each plate label paper should not exceed 1 meter to ensure its stability and prevent deformation under pressure.
The label paper should be at least 10 cm above the ground to prevent the rise of moist3.ure on the ground.
After the printed labels are packed, they should be stacked on top of each other. Do not overload the labels to prevent glue penetration and adhesion.
Third, use and maintenance
1.Timely sealing:
After each use of color thermal label paper, the remaining part should be resealed and packaged in time to reduce the time of contact with the air and maintain its freshness and printing effect.
2.Avoid pollution:
Avoid label paper contact with chemicals during printing and storage, as these chemicals may destroy the heat-sensitive coating or adhesive, resulting in poor printing results or ineffective label paper.
3.Regular inspection:
Regularly check the storage status of the color thermal label paper, such as discoloration, fading, deformation or glue failure, should be handled in time or replaced with a new label paper.
Fourth, product selection
1.Quality Products:
Choose high-quality color thermal label paper products, which usually have better durability and stability, and can maintain printing results and adhesive properties for longer.
In summary, by controlling environmental conditions, using appropriate packaging and storage methods, paying attention to the details of use and maintenance, and choosing high-quality products, the storage life of color thermal label paper can be effectively extended.
