Date Coding Guns

Quick, Simple and Effective Handheld Printing and Coding Solutions 

Handheld label guns are a great, low cost and effective option for compliance product date and traceability marking. As government legislation continues to increase traceability and retail food dating requirements, having an affordable, easy to use, uniform procedure during the product marking process has become paramount.

Date codes on food containers can be as simple as using a label gun or as complex as having a continuous ink jet printer installed on a conveyor. Having a date label gun is an ideal solution for smaller operations, or when portability is required to enable simple fully portable on-demand coding.

Our most popular choice is a labeller that will display the month, day, and year; MM/DD/YY. An example would be 07/22/13.

ERS have a range of pre-printed labels that help describe the exact meaning of your date to the customer including BEST BY, USE BY, and SELL BY. In addition to preprinted labels, specialized adhesive and label material is available for most date label guns.
