How to Label Resin for Storage

Properly labelling your resin bottles is key to efficient storage and ensures you use your products in the right order for the best results.

Why Labelling Resin Matters

Over time, resin shelf life can be impacted by storage conditions and age. By clearly labelling each bottle with the purchase date, you make it easy to identify which bottles to use first, helping you avoid accidental use of older resin that may be past its best.

How to Label Your Resin Bottles

Use a permanent marker to write the purchase date directly on each resin and hardener bottle as soon as you receive them.
If you decant into smaller containers, repeat the date labelling on each container.
Store bottles upright in a cool, dry area to preserve markings and maintain resin quality.

This simple step supports a first-in, first-out routine, so you always work with the freshest product available.

Practical Tips for Resin Users

If you buy larger kits such as EpoxyTable 5-Five for extended projects, keeping clear records on your bottles is especially useful. This technique also helps track if you are running low, so you can reorder in time.

When Labelling is Essential

Frequent resin users or studios juggling multiple resin grades can easily lose track of stock. Labelling prevents mix-ups between batches and ensures consistent project quality.
