FAQ

How Do You Print a Best-Before Date on Eggs?

Egg printers print best-before or expiry dates automatically using an internal real-time clock, so the code updates daily with no manual editing.

You can print production date, best-before date, or both, in the format your market requires (standard, Julian, or custom). The mark uses fast-drying food-grade ink that stays legible on the eggshell through refrigeration.

This automates compliance and removes handwriting or mislabeled-carton errors from your line.
