FAQs

What is the life of thermal labels?

The lifespan of these labels depends on storage conditions and environmental exposure. Printed direct thermal labels typically last between 6 months and 2 years, but they can fade faster if exposed to heat, light, or humidity. Proper storage in cool and dry conditions can extend their usability. 

Do thermal labels rub off?

Thermal labels are heat-sensitive and can fade or darken over time, especially when exposed to abrasion, sunlight, or extreme temperatures. They are best suited for short-term applications like shipping labels, receipts, and event passes. Thermal transfer labels are a better option for longer-lasting labels. 

How do you store thermal printing labels?

To maintain print quality and durability, store thermal labels in a cool, dry place with temperatures between 65°F and 75°F and humidity levels of 45% to 55%. It’s essential to keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources and store them in opaque containers to keep them from fading.
