There are a lot of items sold in the supermarket that are fresh and/or baked and they have an interesting technique to inform the consumer about the expiry date.
There is a thin plastic strip that is wound around the packaging with the expiry date stamped (printed) on it. Its done with a coloured background, so that you cant miss it and it works pretty interestingly. It also holds the package together.
