If you&#8217;re wondering whether <strong>labels can withstand heat and humidity<\/strong>, or how <strong>high heat and moisture affect label adhesive<\/strong>, this guide explains what happens and how to prevent problems before they affect your packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-heat-and-humidity-affect-labels-quick-guide\">How heat and humidity affect labels: quick guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Issue<\/th><th>Cause<\/th><th>Result<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Adhesive softening<\/td><td>High heat<\/td><td>Labels peel or fall off<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ink fading<\/td><td>Heat exposure<\/td><td>Colors fade<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Curling<\/td><td>Heat or humidity<\/td><td>Labels lift from liner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Adhesive failure<\/td><td>High humidity<\/td><td>Labels lose adhesion<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-to-labels-in-high-heat\">What happens to labels in high heat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High heat mainly causes problems with label adhesive, which results in curling and peeling edges, but it can also cause ink to fade. The ideal temperature range for storing and applying most labels is 60 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-heatandhumidity-heat-effect\" alt=\"Sunscreen bottle with a custom product label lying on sand next to green sunglasses.\" style=\"width:290px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adhesive-softening\">Adhesive softening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High temperatures can soften label adhesive, weakening the bond between the label and the surface. When this happens, labels may begin to curl, peel, or even fall off completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick check:<\/strong> Apply a label to a similar surface as your product and see if it holds for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adhesive-ooze\">Adhesive ooze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive heat can make adhesives so soft that they begin to ooze from the edges of the label. This sticky residue can transfer onto rollers and equipment, potentially gumming up an application line or even jamming a printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Watch for:<\/strong> Tacky edges on roll labels. If the edges feel sticky or uneven, that\u2019s a red flag. Run your fingers around the edge to check\u2014if it\u2019s not smooth, you\u2019ve got ooze.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifting-and-curling\">Lifting and curling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High heat can also cause labels to lift or curl away from the liner. Once the adhesive loses contact with the backing, it can start to dry out\u2014and dry adhesive won\u2019t stick properly when applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, you\u2019ll be able to see curling visually. You can also gently run your hand across the sheet or roll to check for subtle lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ink-fading\">Ink fading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat doesn\u2019t just mess with adhesives\u2014it can also fade your label\u2019s ink. The impact depends on your ink and materials, but once heat starts breaking those ink bonds, your labels can end up looking washed out. Not exactly the brand image you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Look for:<\/strong> Spots or patches where the ink looks dull or uneven instead of an all-over fade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-humidity-affect-labels\">How does humidity affect labels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Humidity can cause some of the same headaches as heat, like curling and peeling due to messed up adhesives or problems with ink. And heat and humidity together tend to make all of the above much worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ideal humidity: Around 50%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-heatandhumidity-humidity-submerged\" alt=\"Sunscreen bottle with a custom label splashing into water against a blue background.\" style=\"width:290px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ink distortion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High humidity can warp or distort ink, especially if your <strong>labels don\u2019t have a protective finish<\/strong>. Without that protective barrier, moisture in the air can interfere with the printed surface and cause fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually inspect your labels up close. Spot fading is common in <strong>humid environments<\/strong>, especially on unfinished <strong>paper labels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lifting and curling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Humidity can also affect label adhesives and materials. In some cases, moisture in the air can cause labels to lift from the liner or curl before printing or application. It\u2019s a good idea to visually inspect labels before use. In some cases, you may also feel slight changes in the surface, though visual checks are usually more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-avery-blog wp-block-embed-avery-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"HbGo0mC6mX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/label-adhesives-permanent-vs-removable-labels\/\">Label Adhesives Types: Permanent vs. Removable Explained<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Label Adhesives Types: Permanent vs. Removable Explained&#8221; &#8212; Avery Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/label-adhesives-permanent-vs-removable-labels\/embed\/#?secret=jYMcNDRaSo#?secret=HbGo0mC6mX\" data-secret=\"HbGo0mC6mX\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adhesive-failure-in-humidity\">Adhesive failure in humidity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High humidity can eventually lead to <strong>complete adhesive failure<\/strong>, especially if labels aren\u2019t stored properly or are exposed to moisture for long periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much moisture in the air can break down the <strong>adhesive bond<\/strong>, causing labels to lift, curl, or fail after application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adhesives can also behave differently depending on whether they\u2019re designed to be <strong>permanent or removable<\/strong>, which affects how they respond to humidity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Simple test:<\/strong> Apply a label to a surface similar to your product.

Sudden changes in <strong>temperature or humidity<\/strong> can affect both adhesives and materials, so giving labels time to adjust helps them perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even museums follow strict <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ne-mo.org\/fileadmin\/Dateien\/public\/Publications\/NEMO_Working-Group_SAC_Climate_protection_in_museums_12.23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acclimatization guidelines for materials<\/a>\u2014and they\u2019re not sticking <strong>product labels<\/strong> on jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If labels are delivered just before production, give them a day or two (24\u201348 hours) to acclimate to your facility before printing or applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-climate-control-counts\">Climate control counts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Labels should be stored in areas with consistent, moderate <strong>temperature and humidity control<\/strong>. If your entire facility isn\u2019t temperature controlled, store labels in a room that is\u2014or at least in the most stable part of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store low<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because heat rises, avoid storing labels on high shelves. Temperatures can be <strong>10\u201320\u00b0F warmer near ceilings<\/strong>, which can affect label adhesive performance. It\u2019s also best not to stack heavy items on top of label packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep them out of the sun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always store labels indoors and away from direct sunlight. <strong>UV exposure can fade label ink and weaken adhesives<\/strong> over time. If you&#8217;re curious how strong the sun&#8217;s rays can actually get, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sunsafety\/uv-index-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EPA&#8217;s UV Index Scale<\/a> is a handy tool that breaks it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-containers-or-bags\">Use containers or bags <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For extra protection, consider storing your labels in containers or bags.
