Botteldatum

Botteldatum is a term used in manufacturing and packaging to denote the date on which a bottle or container was filled and sealed. It serves as a key data point for product traceability, quality control, and recalls. In practice, botteldatum is often synonymous with bottling date or fill date, but terminology can vary by industry and region. It is typically recorded in batch records and stored in enterprise resource planning systems, warehouse management systems, or quality databases. In labeling, the botteldatum may appear as a date code on the label or be encoded in a barcode or QR code, sometimes alongside the lot number or serial identifier.

The concept supports shelf-life management by enabling calculations of product age and aging effects, and it helps identify production lots in incidents of contamination or quality deviation. Bottledatum is commonly used in beverage manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals, but is not universally standardized. Some products use alternative dating methods such as production date, fill date, use-by date, or best-before date; these may convey different retention and safety implications.

In data systems, botteldatum is usually stored in a date field formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, enabling chronological sorting and traceability across the supply chain. See also production date, best-before date, use-by date, batch/lot number, and traceability systems.
