Do Labels Deteriorate Over Time?
Labels on a product are more than just stickers—they summarize regulatory compliance, brand value, and consumer trust. Over time, however, labels may fade, peel off, or lose legibility. This can lead to legal issues and brand perception problems. That’s why proper label analysis is essential.
Why Are Label Storage Conditions So Critical?
- Regulatory Compliance: According to regulations like the SEA Directive, label visibility and durability are mandatory.
- Information Security: Product information must remain legible and intact during the entire shelf life.
- Brand Trust: Worn-out or unreadable labels erode consumer confidence.
How Are Labels Tested?
At TTS Laboratory, we perform various tests under label analysis services:
| Test Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Adhesion Test | Evaluates how well the label sticks and remains intact throughout the product's shelf life. |
| Light and Temperature Resistance | Assesses if the label fades under UV light, heat, or humidity conditions. |
| Print Durability | Determines if text or symbols fade or smudge over time. |
| Chemical Resistance | Checks resistance to detergents, alcohol, and oils the label may come into contact with. |
Best Practices for Label Storage
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Store at temperatures between 15–25°C
- Maintain humidity levels between 40–60%
- Store the product and label in the same environmental conditions
