customer
A family-run poultry farm from Lower Saxony keeps several thousand laying hens and markets its eggs regionally via farm stores, weekly markets and local retailers. For sale, the eggs must be clearly labeled in accordance with EU regulations with a producer code, the origin label and an optional packaging or production date. The labeling serves the purpose of traceability and transparency for consumers.
challenge
Previously, marking was carried out using stationary stamping devices or, in some cases, manually. This led to several restrictions:
- Little flexibility with different packaging sizes
- Additional effort for smaller batches
- Limited mobility in the production area
- uneven stamp images
The company was therefore looking for a simple and flexible solution for egg marking - without complex machine integration.
Solution
The company opted for the jetStamp® 990 as a mobile marking device. The device is used to mark the eggs directly with the required code. Thanks to food-safe ink, the markings on the eggshell are clear and easy to read.
Implementation in the process
The jetStamp® 990 is used directly in the packaging area:
- Sorting eggs
- Position egg
- Apply labeling
Battery operation means that no fixed installation is required. The device can be used flexibly at different workstations. The compact print size is ideal for short codes on the curved surface of the eggshell.
result
Since the introduction of mobile direct printing, the company has benefited from:
✔ Clear and easy-to-read egg labeling
✔ Greater flexibility in the packaging process
✔ Simple operation without complex technology
✔ Uniform appearance
✔ Rapid implementation of statutory labeling requirements
The mobile solution offers a practical alternative to stationary systems, especially for small and medium-sized poultry farms.
Conclusion
The direct marking of eggs enables simple and legally compliant marking directly on the farm. With the jetStamp® 990 can be used for flexible, mobile and reliable egg marking - ideal for farms with their own marketing.
