I don't know.

What I have found is that Alps printed decals, seem to be a bit stronger and a little more durable when they have a few months on them.

I still have a few decals that Phred printed for me like 4 years ago and they work just fine.
I've recently used some Alps decals that JimZ printed for me at least ten years ago and they were perfect.

So I'm going to have to guess that their shelf life is pretty darn long.

Just don't get the sheet wet, let them dry and expect them to work.
Jim Z gave me some decals that got caught in the rain. The areas that got wet and dried...not so good.
The areas that didn't get wet still worked fine.

I used some decals that were over 20 years old. Most of them were just fine.
