Digital BW, The Print

That's 6 months after opening - yours are unopened. They also have an expiry
date printed on them... not sure why - I think to avoid people keeping
asking how long to do they last.

In practice unopened and gently shaken regularily (say every couple months)
they should last a long time. How long - who knows what will go first. The
rubber seal on the cartridge mount ? The internal bag welding ?  Slow
evaporation through the bag ? Though the internal bags tend to be a foil
material rather than plastic. Presumably because plastic bags /films are
actually porous.

Let us know when you eventually use them ...
