  • inexpensive date coder

    We are beginning to hand can beers in house and need an inexpensive option to date our cans.

    Any one have an option for a nano brewer that wont break the bank?

    Grocery store price gun with date option. Amazon. Probably $50. Or a QL-700 label maker. $85.

    How many cans per hour? What is Cheap? Are your cans printed? Do you need warning labels, etc anyways? More information is warranted for a good suggestion.

      Price gun w date option? So every can would have a small date sticker on it? Hmm...

      We are canning in between our mobile can dates. We have left over lables all the time and do small runs on the Mcs.

      Will any thing print on the concave of the can like a date coder?

        Proven on tens of thousands of can bottoms. Buy the best before stickers at U-line or anywhere else.

          You can buy a date coder, but they will probably run you $1000+ for a reliable system. Smart Jet Plus? Domino A320i? Ska Fab? I've had a few Salty Lady's printed on by a Citronix CI3000? Those might be worth looking into depending on your budget and rate of use.
