Label Active Days

How to calculate inactive label period:

  • See table below for the number of business days. Do NOT count weekends and bear in mind bank holidays.
  • Take into account any time zone differences between where you and the customer are located.

Example:

  • Label was printed on a Monday. Current inactive label period is 5 business days. The first day is then Tuesday. You can then consider the label inactive after the following Monday (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday = 5 business days).

Current label active days:
