Hi, I'm Bill from B&B Supply, pricegunstore.com and I'll be explaining some of the aspects of using a handheld label gun to mark a date code on your products. These tools are a great option based upon the relatively low-cost compared to other methods, consistency, speed and portability. The way these tools work is by the user loading a roll of labels into the gun. The labels can be ordered as stock blank or with a stock pre-print such as BestBuy or Used By or with a custom imprint which would display anything he wanted. 

The gun is used to mark your variable information such as date, time, lot number, batch number or any other indicator necessary for your application. By clicking the hand trigger, you engage the print head to strike and mark the label. The label is then dispensed for easy application. The guns are available to print one-line, two-line or three-line of information. They can be ordered to print just numbers or both letters and numbers. Please contact us at B&B Supply and we can further discuss your specific application and make the best recommendation.
