Yes. A SHICAI desktop coder prints expiry and best-before dates, batch and lot codes, serials and simple barcodes from stored messages on its touch screen. The 2-12.7 mm height covers typical carton and component marks, and the fast-dry ink bonds to plastic, metal and board.
For a one-off or low-volume run, you set the message and trigger – no line integration needed.
The metal-body unit weighs about 2-3 kg and marks metal, plastic and cartons for static batch, date and lot coding in workshops.
The SHICAI G12 desktop coder prints at 2-12.7 mm height, 150-600 DPI, using a 42 ml fast-dry cartridge and a 7-inch touch screen.
Because it runs from a USB stick and a foot pedal, a workshop can deploy it without IT or a dedicated PC on the bench.
Key points:
- Trigger options are foot pedal, photo-eye or hand press, and messages import from USB stick or flash – no computer required to run.

For small-batch, multi-SKU workshops the metal-body G12 is a low-friction way to get consistent, registered date and batch codes.
SHICAI (Shanghai Shicai Inkjet Technology Co., Ltd.) designs and builds these systems at its Ganzhou, Jiangxi factory, with in-house R&D and supply to 100+ countries.
For a low-friction desktop batch coder, review the SHICAI G12 on the product page or ask for a bench demo.
