FAQ

Why Is Non-Contact Printing Important for Eggs?

Eggshells are thin and brittle, and sizes vary. Non-contact printing sprays ink from a few millimeters above the shell, so the head never touches the egg. This eliminates the cracking and bruising that contact stampers can cause.

Non-contact coding also prints cleanly on the curved, porous shell surface and keeps speed high because there is no mechanical dwell time. Flexible head height and suspension let one machine handle small to jumbo eggs.

For zero-breakage, high-throughput lines, non-contact inkjet is the professional standard.
