The cheapest viable options are entry handheld inkjet printers (at or below $400) and basic single-head coders (at or below $1,000). They handle dates, codes and simple logos for low volume.
Avoid ultra-cheap contact stampers and uncertified ink—they crack shells or fail food-safety checks. The smart budget move is a non-contact, food-grade-ink unit with a real warranty.
For growing volume, stepping up to a 6-head automatic coder quickly pays for itself in labor and throughput.
