Bottle & Glass Date Coding Printers
Getting expiration dates onto bottles clearly, consistently, and at production line speed is one of the most common coding challenges manufacturers face. Whether you're running an expiry date printing machine for bottle applications on a high-speed production line or need something portable for smaller batches, All Pro Technical Service has supplied, serviced, and supported bottle coding solutions for U.S. manufacturers since 2004.
What Is a Bottle Expiration Date Printer?
A bottle expiration date printer applies variable information such as expiration dates, lot codes, and batch numbers directly onto bottles as they move through production. The most common technology for this application is a continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer, which sprays fast-drying ink onto the bottle without making contact, keeping the line moving without interruption. CIJ printers work well on curved, glass, and plastic bottle surfaces where contact-based marking methods can struggle.
Bottle Expiration Date Printer Options for Production Line
A CIJ printer built for bottle expiration date printing is typically the right fit for manufacturers running continuous or high-volume bottling lines. These systems integrate directly into the production line and print codes in real time as bottles pass by, which keeps output consistent shift after shift.
Choosing the right setup depends on a few factors:
Our equipment can print in all these configurations.
Rather than guessing at specifications, we recommend talking through your specific bottling application with our team so we can help you land on the right fit for your production line and budget.
When a Handheld Expiry Date Printer Makes Sense
Not every operation runs a continuous, high-speed bottling line. For smaller batches, manual packing stations, or mobile coding needs, a handheld expiry date printer offers a flexible alternative. These handheld printers let an operator apply expiration dates and lot codes directly by hand, without the setup of a full inline system, which can be a practical fit for lower-volume or variable production environments.
