Date and MRP Printing Machine – Batch, MFG and EXP Coder
Legal Metrology rules require the MRP and the month and year of manufacture on most packed goods, and food and medicine rules add a batch number and an expiry or best-before date. A date and MRP printing machine prints them at packing time, so the same pouch stock can be used for every batch.

What the code usually says
A typical code reads: MRP Rs. 120 (incl. of all taxes) · MFD 10/2026 · EXP 09/2027 · Batch PF2610. Inkjet printers fill the dates and the batch counter automatically, so only the MRP is typed when it changes.
Handheld or on the line
The handheld models below are for hand coding at a table. The red online model fixes on a conveyor and prints each pack as it passes, for lines running continuously. For embossing a date into a pouch seal instead of ink, a band sealer with a coder does both in one pass.
Ink that stays
Use solvent ink on laminated pouches, foil and PET so the date does not rub off in transport. Check the first packs of every batch and keep a sample.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MRP printing machine?
A coder that prints MRP, dates and batch number on each pack at packing time.
Can it change the date by itself?
Yes. Inkjet coders use an internal clock for MFG and EXP dates.
Is a rubber stamp acceptable instead?
Stamps smudge and are slow; inkjet codes are cleaner and harder to alter.
Which machine is best for pouches?
A handheld printer with solvent ink for hand packing; an online coder for a running line.
Do you give a GST invoice?
Yes, from Fulcrum Infratech Pvt. Ltd.
