At a time when the express logistics industry is developing rapidly, thermal paper express labels are widely used due to their advantages such as convenient printing and low cost, but the stability of information storage and data security on labels are also becoming increasingly prominent. Ensuring the integrity and security of information on thermal paper express labels is crucial to the efficient and safe operation of the logistics industry.
Thermal paper mainly develops color through chemical reactions when heated, and its information storage stability is greatly affected by environmental factors. High temperature will accelerate the chemical reaction of the thermal coating, causing the handwriting to fade quickly, blurring or even disappearing the information; humid environment can easily cause thermal paper to deform due to moisture, destroy the coating structure, and affect the clarity of information; ultraviolet radiation will accelerate the aging of thermal paper and reduce the storage time of information. In addition, physical factors such as mechanical friction and heavy pressure can also cause damage to the surface of thermal paper and interfere with the normal reading of information.
On the one hand, the label contains a large amount of personal privacy information such as the name, phone number, and address of the sender and recipient. If it is obtained by criminals, it may cause privacy leakage, telecommunications fraud and other problems. On the other hand, during express delivery, labels may be damaged or fall off accidentally, resulting in information loss, affecting logistics information tracking, causing the wrong delivery or loss of packages, etc. At the same time, some unscrupulous merchants may use technical means to tamper with label information and commit fraud.
Develop new thermal coating materials to enhance their heat resistance, moisture resistance, and UV resistance. For example, add special stabilizers and antioxidants to slow down the chemical reaction rate of thermal coatings and extend the information storage time; adopt a multi-layer composite structure design to add a protective film on the surface of thermal paper to reduce the impact of physical damage on information storage. Optimize printing technology, accurately control printing temperature and time, ensure clear and firm handwriting, and reduce the risk of information ambiguity caused by printing quality problems.
In label design, use partial information hiding or encrypted display methods, such as shielding the middle digits of a phone number to reduce direct exposure of sensitive information. Strengthen management during logistics transportation, standardize parcel sorting and handling operations, and avoid damage to labels due to external forces; set up special label protection devices, such as waterproof and tear-proof label sleeves, to ensure the integrity of labels in harsh transportation environments.
Use blockchain technology to encrypt, store and transmit express label information to ensure that the information cannot be tampered with and is traceable; establish a logistics information encryption system to encrypt key data on the label, and only authorized devices can read and decrypt it. At the same time, improve the internal management standards of logistics companies, strengthen employee information security training, strictly control information access rights, and prevent internal personnel from leaking data.
Through the comprehensive use of material technology innovation, physical protection, data encryption and other means, the stability of thermal paper express label information storage and data security are comprehensively improved, which can not only ensure the accurate transmission of logistics information, but also effectively protect users' personal privacy, and build a solid security line for the healthy development of the express logistics industry.
