How to Store Your Product Labels for Best Results

But even once you’ve received your final labels from us, our relationship isn’t over. We want to ensure you get the most out of your labels. From the inception of your product to its first sale, we understand the colossal effort you’ve made to create the perfect item. To store your product labels properly is a seemingly small but important factor in the long chain of events that need to go right for your product to have an impact on the market.

What Is Proper Product Label Storage?

When considering all of the environmental concerns that will influence label application, proper label storage is often overlooked. Just as with the product itself, the efficiency of your label will be affected by improper storage. Store your product labels properly to extend their shelf life significantly.

Tips for How to Properly Store Your Product Labels

Here are some tips to get most out of your labels:

  • Avoid UV light. Direct sunlight and other UV rays can cause discoloration or fading. Storing your labels in an opaque container will shield them from harmful light.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures. Harsh and extreme temperatures can affect the adhesive of your labels. Store your labels in an area where temperatures can be regulated.
  • Avoid moisture. Humidity can also cause issues with the adhesive. Storing your labels in a closed, opaque container will help. Consider storing your labels in an air-conditioned area.
  • Avoid dust! This is especially important with labels that are run on applicators or thermal printers. Dust will slowly wear on the mechanisms of applicators and printers, acting like a fine sandpaper.

Follow these tips to keep your labels looking as pristine as the day you received them. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have specific questions about how to store your product labels or anything else label related.
