Learned something new that may help all the other shop and business owners that follow me. Out going shipping the last couple weeks has been chaos for me. I had two customers reach out and let me know why since they had experienced it previously and noticed when they got their stuff what was happening. Some packing tapes have a chemical that reacts with thermal paper and makes it turn blank mid shipment. This has never been an issue previously but I got a new case of the same tape ive been using for years a couple weeks ago. I guess they changed something and now everything was going blank mid shipment and some was delivered some lost and some returned depending on what parts of the label were blank. If you look up label bleaching you can find articles and one customer sent a link to uline tape they use and thats safe. Hopefully this post helps save others from this.
