An egg marking machine applies a permanent or semi-permanent mark to an eggshell. The mark can be inkjet-printed text and codes, a laser-etched mark, or a soft rubber-stamp impression. “Marking” is the broader term that includes both ink and laser methods.
In high-volume plants, inkjet marking is preferred because it is non-contact, fast and supports variable data like dates and QR codes. Laser marking etches the shell surface for a permanent imprint that is unaffected by moisture.
Whether ink or laser, the goal is the same: give each egg a clear, legible identifier for branding, freshness and traceability without breaking the shell.
