A Julian date is the day of the year expressed as a number (001–365). Some markets require eggshells to show the Julian pack date so freshness and age are unambiguous.
Egg printers support Julian date formats alongside standard dates, so you can comply with multiple market requirements from one machine by selecting the format in the software.
If you export, confirm whether the destination requires Julian dates, best-before, or both, and configure the printer to print them clearly.
