An egg printer is a machine that marks text, dates, codes and graphics onto eggshells. The term covers several technologies: non-contact inkjet printers (TIJ and CIJ), laser markers, and contact rubber stampers. Today the large majority of commercial lines use non-contact inkjet because it is faster and more flexible for variable data.
Egg printers print production dates, expiry dates, batch numbers, farm codes, brand logos and QR codes. They help consumers judge freshness, help brands stand out on the shelf, and satisfy traceability laws in many markets.
Businesses that need one include poultry farms, egg grading and processing plants, food-packaging factories, supermarkets and supply-chain operators who want standardized, compliant egg identification at scale.
