What is the durability of thermal label paper?

The durability of thermal label paper mainly depends on many factors such as its quality, storage environment and whether there is special treatment. The following is a detailed analysis of the durability of thermal label paper:

1.quality factors

Thermal coating and protective layer: thermal label paper is usually divided into three layers: paper base, thermal coating and protective layer. The quality of the thermal coating directly affects the printing effect and durability, and the protective layer plays a key role in protecting the thermal coating and extending the storage time of the label. High quality thermal label paper with high quality thermal coating and protective layer materials, with better durability and stability.

Paper material: The material of paper is also an important factor affecting durability. Some thermal label paper uses special paper materials, such as synthetic paper, PET, etc., which have stronger wear resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and other properties, thus improving the durability of the label.

2. Storage environment

Temperature and humidity: High temperatures and humidity can accelerate chemical reactions on thermal labels, resulting in fading or label damage. Therefore, the heat-sensitive label paper should be stored in a cool, dry environment to avoid long-term exposure to high temperature or humid conditions.

Sunlight: Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can also cause damage to heat-sensitive label paper and accelerate the fading of writing. Therefore, it should be avoided to expose the heat-sensitive label paper to direct sunlight for a long time.

3. Special treatment

Long-acting thermal paper: Some long-acting thermal paper uses special chemical formulations and coating technologies to extend the preservation time of the writing. These thermal papers can be stored for several years or even more than ten years under normal storage conditions, with higher durability.

Three heat-proof paper: three heat-proof paper not only has waterproof, oil-proof, alcohol-proof and other characteristics, but also has strong wear resistance, rub resistance, light resistance, heat resistance and other properties. These characteristics make the three heat sensitive paper can still maintain good durability in harsh environments.

4. Practical application

Short-term application: For some short-term use occasions, such as supermarket receipts, express bills, etc., the durability of ordinary thermal label paper is enough to meet the needs. Under normal use and storage conditions, these labels can generally be stored for about six months to one year.

Long-term application: For labels that need to be stored for a long time, such as asset labels, archive labels, etc., high-quality products such as long-acting thermal paper or three-proof thermal paper should be selected. These labels can be stored for several years or even more than ten years under normal use and storage conditions, meeting the needs of long-term preservation.

In summary, the durability of thermal label paper varies depending on factors such as quality, storage environment and special treatment. When selecting thermal label paper, the above factors should be considered according to the actual needs and the use of the environment to choose the most suitable product.
