If you sell pickles, spices, dry fruits or snacks in jars and pouches, every pack needs at least three things printed on it: product name, net weight and packing date. Many small brands still write these by hand or order pre-printed stickers in bulk, which leaves no room for batch-wise dates.
A mini thermal printer lets you print those details per batch, on the day you pack.
What to print on each label
- Product name (and variant, e.g. "Mango Pickle - 500 g")
- Net weight
- Packing date or batch code
- Optional: a barcode or SKU for your own stock records
Workflow for a batch
- Finish filling and sealing the batch.
- On your phone, open the label template and change only the date and batch code.
- Print the full run of 58 mm stickers over Bluetooth.
- Apply them to the jar lid, pouch front or carton.
Because the template stays the same, a new batch takes a minute to set up.
The printer we use
The PackForge mini Bluetooth thermal printer prints at 304 DPI in black on 58 mm direct thermal rolls, so small text stays readable. There is no ink to refill. It runs on a rechargeable battery, carries a 2-year warranty and is made in India.
Things to check first
- It prints on thermal sticker paper, not directly onto film, foil or glass.
- 58 mm is the maximum label width.
- Thermal labels can fade with long heat or sunlight exposure, so store stock away from direct sun.
