The Importance of Expiry Dates & Batch Codes:-

When you pick up milk, biscuits, or spices, what do you notice first? Usually, the expiry date. It’s a small detail, but it builds confidence. Customers want to know their food is safe. Without proper coding, trust can disappear and your business can face losses. 


The Risks of Skipping Batch Coding:-

  1. Selling expired products → can harm consumers.

  2. No batch numbers → difficult to track defective products.

  3. Smudged or unclear prints → customers doubt your brand.

Even minor mistakes in coding can lead to financial loss and damage your reputation.


How Batch Coding Machines Help:-


  • Compliance Made Simple -

Food safety regulations like FSSAI require clear expiry dates and batch numbers. Automatic printers ensure you meet the law quickly and correctly.


  • Build Consumer Confidence -

Clear, visible codes assure customers that your products are safe. Poor or missing prints can make them hesitant to buy.


  • Save Time and Money -

Manual stamping is slow and inconsistent. Printers deliver fast, clean prints, reducing labor costs and errors.


  • Simplify Recalls -

Batch numbers help identify and isolate affected lots immediately, making problem-solving easier.


Where Batch Coding is Essential:-

  • Dairy & milk packets

  • Spices & masalas

  • Ready-to-eat food products

  • Medicines & healthcare products

  • Cosmetics & personal care items

In short, any product that reaches consumers should carry a clear date and batch code.
