coding of products

[scissor_sister]

I was wondering what the letter and the two numbers meant, is it a code of when the product was made?
please help me?

I also see that they have on the packaging box. a little imprint of a open jar with a number on it what does it mean?

Martygreene explained this here. I found this post using the forum search function with the words 'batch number'.

That number represents the reccomended shelf life of the product.

To elaborate on what Janice said regarding the shelf life icon, I suggest taking a look at this post:

Also, as Janice said, the batch code decryption is explained here: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24483
and is quite handy to know particularly in the case of pigments for the purpose of product safety precautions.
