MHD Labeling Set for Farm Shops – Pricing Labeler & Labels

Products in a farm shop often change daily: today fresh milk from the farm, tomorrow the first batch of sausage from in-house processing, along with eggs, jam, or baked goods from the farm kitchen. Each of these products requires its own date or storage information, and there is usually no time for complex labeling systems. A practical hand labeler with predefined text fields for exactly these types of information makes everyday labeling much easier.

The Right Solution for Farm Shops

Unlike in a supermarket, labeling in a farm shop is rarely automated. Labels are applied by hand, often directly at the sales counter or while packaging small quantities. This quickly raises a question that many farm shop operators underestimate: not every label adheres equally well to every type of packaging and under every storage condition. A label that sticks perfectly at room temperature may fall off in a freezer compartment. Likewise, a permanently adhesive label is the wrong choice if packaging is intended to be reused or repackaged later.

What Is Included in the Set

Hand Labeler with HACCP Function: The two-line labeler offers 15 predefined text fields for food labeling, ranging from "mindestens haltbar bis" and "hergestellt am" to "eingefroren am" and "aufgetaut am", as well as "store chilled +2°C to +7°C" or "PLU No.". Depending on the selected text field, you print the corresponding date. For simple price labeling, the character wheels can be switched to the euro symbol; for quantity information, they can be set to kg, g, or ml. Switching between date, price, and quantity displays is done by adjusting the print wheels on the device, meaning that the various types of information are configured according to the application and are not combined simultaneously on a single label. The labeler is supplied with an ink roller and an initial roll of labels and is ready for immediate use.

Labels for Frozen Products: For frozen farm products such as meat or berries from your own cultivation. The adhesive properties are designed for low temperatures so that the label remains attached even under freezing conditions.

Removable Labels: Ideal for chilled products stored temporarily in cold rooms or for packaging that will be reused later, such as reusable jars or deposit containers.

Permanent Adhesive Labels: For everything that requires permanent identification, including dry goods, jams, honey, or packaged baked products displayed on shelves.

All labels are suitable for direct food contact and are produced according to the BRC standard. The paper also carries FSC certification.

Legally Compliant Labeling in the Farm Shop

Farm-produced goods sold through a farm shop are subject to the same European Food Information Regulation (FIC Regulation, EU Regulation No. 1169/2011) as any other food product. It requires packaged foods to carry either a best-before date or, in the case of highly perishable products such as fresh meat or dairy products, a use-by date. The labeler provides exactly these two options through the text fields "mindestens haltbar bis" and "use by". When products are packaged and sold directly in the farm shop, responsibility for providing correct and clearly legible date information lies with the business.

Anyone producing meat or dairy products themselves is also subject to their own HACCP traceability requirements. Batch numbers and production dates must be traceable if necessary. Text fields such as "hergestellt am", "packed on", or "PLU No." significantly simplify this documentation in everyday operations.

This information does not replace individual legal advice. If you are unsure about the requirements for your specific product range, consultation with the responsible veterinary authority or food control authority is recommended.
