Store labels in their original packaging, at a stable temperature of 18 to 25 °C and a relative humidity of 45 to 55 %, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Use the oldest stock first. For standard labels, 12 months is a general guideline when stored correctly; the product specification may indicate a different storage life. Direct thermal labels are particularly sensitive to heat and light. The shelf life of unused rolls is not the same as the legibility of a print.
