For a small farm, start simple and low-cost. A handheld inkjet printer (single nozzle, battery powered) prints dates, codes and logos on cartons and eggs for a few dozen at a time.
If you pack regularly, a single-head or compact XY-axis automatic coder on a small conveyor gives repeatable, consistent marks without manual effort and still fits a modest budget.
Avoid cheap contact stampers that crack shells. Choose a non-contact, food-grade-ink unit with an easy touch screen and USB logo import so branding stays professional as you grow.
Why SHICAI: Most buyers land on the SHICAI Six Head Egg Inkjet Printer for all-round farm use, or the XY110 when specialty eggs make up the bulk of your volume.
