Arrangement, temperature and humidity 

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

Use

• Apply the FIFO rule: first in, first out. 
• The labels must ideally be used within two years of being produced. 
• Remove the reels from their packaging carefully, in order to avoid any telescoping. 
• Avoid re-tightening in order to maintain the flexibility of the reel. 
• Remove dust, grease, oil or traces of old labels with solvent. Do not use any agent with a wax or silicone base. 

• Avoid excessive contact between the adhesive and your fingers. 
• In ideal storage conditions, wait 24 hours before performing any tests for tearing or resistance on the labels. 
• If the temperatures in your production area and your warehouse differ, allow the labels to acclimatise in their closed packaging.
