I'm surprised that my SBS7338G tix on 31 hasnt faded since i took it last Dec. I just placed it in a non-airtight box & couple of tix above and below it.

throw it into a bottle of vinegar and store in cool place for a week.

at least that's how they make preserved green chillies.

if you don't want to use vinegar

can use sodium chloride (salt) and some sodium borate as preservative.

i wanna collect bus tix but no idea how to protect e font on e tix frm fading. any1 has any idea?

do you mean this bus ticket from a B9TL (those new Wheel Chair bus with black front)?

P.S: this bus ticket has been faded becoz of the ink. the others like this one:

This one the words are not faded becoz this bus ticket and the one on top is not the same...

laminate it?

Erm, technically wouldn't laminating the ticket (those which uses thermal paper) totally destroy the ticket in the first place? The thermal paper is reactive to heat (which is needed for laminating). The older ink tickets u can just leave it around for years and it still looks alright.

how about try buying the type of photo album with self laminating pages? try placing the thermal tickets inside.

I suppose you are in the wrong forum...

Salt would be cheaper...

For both thermal and ink tickets, keep them in dry place, and don't expose them to light, heat and air.
Clear folder is the best choice.
