Batch labeling

[DMF]

I want to find an easy way to label our syrup batches. We bottle everything in glass so it needs to be able to either be marked, or adhered easily to the bottom of the jars. What does everyone else do?

I pack in glass and label the bottom of the bottle using oil based paint white sharpies. Stays on prettty well from my experience.

There are many different ways to do this.
For our use we batch every bottle we sell. If its ours, bought or bleneded we can track it back to the source.
We use an avery labeler with tamper proof labels on the back of bottle

If its a single drum that is bottled we chart the drum number and producer in our book and mark the appropriate batch code next to it. If we blend same story just has more producers listed.

Our batch code for example is 240165
24-year
01- is the bottling batch
65- is light transmittance.

The way this is in order to keep seperate, the numbers will not over lap. Even if there are two batches that are 65 light transmittance the middle batch number will be different.

Hope that makes sense and helps

I print my own labels so I just add the lot number to each batch's labels. I use the Julian Calendar day, year and bottling event/batch. For example my first bottling is January 6, 2024 looks like this 062401

When done packaging, before taking the jugs to storage, I place a small piece of masking tape on the cap. I write the batch and the year - like 1/24. When we either give those containers away or label them for sale with our information, we move that to the bottom of the jug. It's not very high tech, but most of the time we never need to look at it again. When canning, we put the first of the batch in a glass container so we can see the color and know if there's issues with the batch. We put all the containers from that batch in a row or rows with that glass jar at the front. There are small labels we could buy and write on I have thought about using but we still keep doing the making tape.

I use a hand held pricing label gun from Amazon and a put the labels on the bottom of the bottles. Each batch gets a different number. It's very easy to use and takes little time. The pricing guns are cheap and you can get one for less than $15.
