Proper storage is key to maintaining the quality and longevity of your labels. To ensure your labels retain their adhesive strength and print quality, follow these essential storage tips:
Temperature Control: Store labels in a cool, consistent environment—ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid extreme temperatures, as heat can cause the adhesive to degrade, while cold can make it brittle.
Humidity Matters: Keep humidity levels between 40-60% to prevent labels from drying out or absorbing moisture. Too much moisture can weaken the adhesive and cause the label material to wrinkle or curl.
Keep Labels in Original Packaging: Storing labels in their original packaging helps protect them from dust, light, and temperature fluctuations. The packaging is designed to create an optimal environment for preservation.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Exposure to UV light can damage label material and cause the adhesive to deteriorate. Store labels away from direct sunlight to ensure they remain in good condition.
Stack Carefully: When storing rolls or fanfold labels, stack them in a flat, stable position to prevent warping. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the labels to maintain their shape and usability.
