How Are Expiration Dates Printed?
Expiry date printers use high-resolution inkjet technology. This allows them to print fast, clearly, and without smudging. Depending on what you’re printing on—like paper, plastic, or bottles you can use different formats.
The way you print the expiry date depends on the type of surface. For example, bottles, packaging paper, or plastic bags each need different print settings.
To start, you use the printer’s touchscreen to set it up. Many printers come with ready-made templates, but you can also design your own. You can add the expiry date, barcodes, logos, or serial numbers whatever your packaging needs.
For bottles, the print head is usually placed upright. For flat items like packaging bags, the printer is adjusted to print from above. Once everything is set, turn on the conveyor belt, and the printer will automatically print as items move past.
