Date stamps are the first line of defence in your quality assurance and compliance process. Marking every part with precise production dates is vital to traceability.

CUMSA describes true traceability as following a product’s journey through every production stage and reconstructing its manufacturing history knowing what, when, where, and why for every part and the benefits include:

• Error detection and correction in real time
• Enhanced safety and regulatory compliance
• Trust-building in quality-critical fields like automotive, medical, and food packaging
• Streamlined “single-operation” data capture, improving operational speed

CUMSA date stamps are manufactured from stainless steel and offer a range of inserts to suit your exacting needs, whether that is arrow only or arrow and year.  Each date stamp consists of a ring and a replaceable plug, which can be changed directly from the mould without needing to remove it from the machine. 

Each unit of CUMSA’s date stamps comes with a threaded design allowing secure installation into the mould and ensures consistent alignment during use. The robust stainless steel construction guarantees resistance to wear, corrosion and mechanical stress making it suitable for a wide range of moulding environments.

Benefits of Replaceable Plug:

• Saves time during maintenance
• Reduces downtime on production line
• Provides flexibility reducing long term costs

Why Traceability Matters

• Quality control – quickly identifying and resolving production issues.
• Regulatory compliance – meeting industry standards where date marking is required.
• Customer assurance – providing transparency and trust in product origin.
• Efficient recalls – isolating affected batches without disrupting the entire supply chain.
