we run low volume and do it by hand with a date gun, but there needs to be daily verification to ensure it's correct regardless of the method

Hi mpremindia,

 

Do you mean with respect to cost, speed, ink, accuracy or ?

From my experience with date guns, the main challenges are setting the correct values and ensuring the sticker stays on the product (especially when being handled). I wouldn't advise as there are lower cost printers capable of printing onto a package now.
