In any business, accurate and efficient labelling is essential for success. Whether you're managing inventory, labelling products for sale, or ensuring compliance with date coding regulations, having the right tools can make all the difference. That's where pricing guns and date coders come in.
What are Pricing Guns and Date Coders?
A pricing gun (also known as a price marker or label gun) is a handheld device used to print labels with price, date, and other information. These labels are typically affixed to products, shelves, or packaging. Date coders are specialised pricing guns that focus on printing date and time information, often used for inventory management, stock rotation, and compliance with food safety regulations.
