Introduction

In its original packaging, the label shelf life is 18 months. When labels are used for short-term applications (envelopes, packages, and so on), fading is not a problem. When labels are used to label files in a file cabinet, fading is very gradual over many years. Labels applied to the edge of a notebook that is then placed on a shelf in the sun will show signs of fading within a few months.

To prolong label life when not in use, keep the labels stored in a cool, dry place and in the black bag in which they were shipped.
