Traceability compliance usually expects each eggshell or pack to carry origin, production date, batch/lot, and often a scannable code that links to production records. Retailers and auditors use these to verify freshness and enable fast recalls.
Best practice is to bind the printed code to your batch records (line, shift, time) and, where possible, to software so each code is meaningful, not just decorative.
Keep ink certification and production logs on file; they are what inspectors ask for during audits and border checks.
