What Are the Main Types of Egg Printers?

Egg printers come in several forms sized to your throughput:

• Handheld / portable – battery-powered, single nozzle, prints one eggshell at a time; best for low volume and mobile use.
• Single-head – one print head on a conveyor; steady, affordable coding for small processors.
• Multi-head (6-head) – codes a full tray of 30 eggs in one pass; the workhorse for packing lines.
• XY-axis desktop – moves the head across the tray automatically; compact and precise.
• Laser – permanent etch, no ink, ideal where consumable cost or moisture is a concern.

Choose by hourly volume, egg size variety and whether you need ink codes or permanent laser marks.
