An egg carton printer marks the box or a label on it (dates, batch, branding). An egg printer marks the shell itself. They solve different needs.
Carton printing is enough if you only need pack-level identification. But coding the egg adds individual traceability and lets shoppers verify freshness even after the carton is opened.
Many operations do both: code the egg for traceability and freshness, and print the carton for branding and pack-level compliance.
