Don't Let Your Barcodes Fade Away – Pro Tips to Protect Direct Thermal Labels!

2026-07-24 0 Leave me a message

Direct thermal labels offer incredible convenience, but they require proper care to maintain print readability over time. Heat, direct sunlight, UV exposure, and contact with plasticizers (found in certain packaging materials) can accelerate fading and discoloration. Even hand oils and moisture can cause smudging during handling. For businesses using direct thermal labels in shipping or inventory management, these issues can lead to scanning failures and operational delays.


Guang Dong-Hong Kong (GZ) Smart Printing Co., LTD., founded in 1993, covers an area of 12,000 square meters, and is an enterprise integrating coating, printing and converting in the thermal paper and pressure sensitive label industry. The company has a thermal coating line and 2 adhesive coating lines, committed to providing customers with high quality thermal paper products and self-adhesive products. Their rich experience has allowed them to grow rapidly, with well-known customers from more than 60 countries.


Smart Printing recommends storing direct thermal labels in a cool, dry environment below 25°C (77°F), away from windows and fluorescent lighting. For extended shelf life, use labels within 12-18 months of production and avoid stacking heavy items on label rolls. Their advanced thermal coating formulation also provides enhanced resistance to environmental stressors. They will continue to provide customers and distributors with stable quality assurance, excellent price and good customer service, creating a win-win situation jointly. Protect your print investments with smart storage practices.
