HOW TO STORE AND PROCESS YOUR LABEL ROLLS

Layout, temperature and humidity

• Place the rolls flat, one on top of the other, perfectly stacked: the rolls must never be placed on their side.
• Ideal storage conditions: maximum 20°C and 50% relative humidity to avoid curling.
• For labels with fluid adhesive: choose a cool place, 10°C to 18°C, without condensation, and wrap the labels in a plastic bag.
• Protect rolls from direct sunlight.
• Store unused label rolls in their sealed packaging.
• Store used label rolls in plastic bags.

Use

• Apply the FIFO rule: first come, first go.
• Ideally, labels should be used within two years of manufacture.
• Remove the rolls carefully from their packaging to avoid telescoping.
• To maintain flexibility, avoid tightening the reel.
• Remove dust, grease, oil or traces of old labels with solvent. Do not use any wax or silicone based agents.
• Avoid too much contact between the adhesive and the fingers.
• Under ideal storage conditions, wait 24 hours before testing the labels for tear-off or strength.
