Question 1

How should I store my thermal labels?

Accepted Answer

Always store any spare thermal labels in a cool and dry environment — the dry part, in particular, is super important. So, if you live in a humid region, consider poly-bagging the labels. This will ensure the paper stays in shape and that the self-adhesive backing doesn't expire. Also, if your thermal labels are in roll form, make sure you store them upright.

Question 2

Should I load thermal labels face up or down?

Accepted Answer

Most thermal labels are supposed to be fed into the printer with their right side facing up. Still, you should check out your printer's user manual to double-check which side should be facing up.

Question 3

Can I put tape over a thermal label?

Accepted Answer

It is generally not recommended to tape over your thermal label since this can make it hard to read the label. The glue on the tape can also fade the text on your label.
