As you grow your craft brewing business, you need to ensure that products are correctly labeled and date coded – both to meet regulations and so your product looks good.
The Brewers Association certainly recommends date and lot coding of craft beer, for both regulatory reasons and for customer convenience.
Regardless of the size of your operation and whether you package your product in bottles or cans, ID Technology has solutions for you.
Coding on Cans & Bottles

Our Citronix inkjet printers are perfect for adding date codes to your bottles and cans.
This video shows a Citronix ci3300 printing date codes in a small brewery, the printing takes place right after the cans are depalletized, where we have access to put the code on the bottom of the can.
Citronix continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers are the easiest to use on the market and are built to provide high quality codes every time, with minimal maintenance intervention. All Citronix printers are IP55 washdown as standard so you don’t have to baby them.
