A handheld egg printer is portable, battery-powered and prints one eggshell at a time; great for low volume, markets and mobile use, but slower and more labor-intensive.
An automatic conveyor printer codes trays continuously with minimal labor and reaches tens of thousands of eggs per hour; better for farms and plants.
Rule of thumb: handheld for a few thousand eggs a day or irregular jobs; automatic once coding becomes a daily, repeatable workflow.
Why SHICAI: Against rubber stamps and stick-on labels, the SHICAI Six Nozzle Egg Coding Machine wins on speed, cost per egg and individual-egg traceability.
