Batch Coding & Labelling Machines in Kenya: Print Dates, Batch Numbers and Labels (with Prices)
Every packed food or consumer product sold in Kenya needs a proper label and a batch number and date. Supermarkets will not stock products without them, and KEBS inspectors check. This guide covers the batch coding and labelling machines on Buy More Mall and how to choose one.

What Must a Label Show?
The Kenya Standard for pre-packed food labels is KS EAS 38:2014 (Labelling of pre-packaged foods – General requirements), published by KEBS. In general, a label should show:
- Product name and description
- List of ingredients (for food), in descending order of weight
- Net quantity or volume
- Name and address of the manufacturer, packer or importer
- Country of origin
- Batch or lot number
- Date of manufacture and expiry or best-before date
- Storage and usage instructions and any warnings
Product-specific standards can add more rules. Check the standard for your product with KEBS before printing labels. For a food business, see also Sell Food & Beverages Online in Kenya.
Tip: print the fixed information (name, ingredients, address) on the label, and add the batch number and dates with a coder on the packing line. This lets you use one label design for every batch.
