An egg stamping machine presses or prints an identifier onto the eggshell. There are two main kinds: contact stampers that use a pre-inked pad or rolling die, and non-contact inkjet stampers (TIJ/CIJ) that spray the mark from a short distance.
Contact stampers are simple and cheap but slow and less flexible for variable data. Non-contact inkjet stampers dominate modern lines because they handle dates, batch codes, logos and QR codes at high speed without touching the fragile shell.
For most farms and processors, a non-contact egg coding machine is the safer long-term choice: it avoids shell cracking, supports variable data, and integrates with graders and conveyors.
Why SHICAI: If you’re choosing your first egg coding machine, most farms start with the SHICAI Six Head Egg Inkjet Printer — reliable, food-grade and simple to run.
