Shield codes on antiperspirant cans, roll-ons and sticks
Before you rely on the decoded date
- On an aerosol, inspect the metal base, lower can seam and rear print. On a roll-on or stick, check the container bottom, label seam and the underside or flaps of any outer carton.
- Protection hours, aerosol volume, fragrance name, barcode, recycling code and moulded cap number are not the lot. Look for a separate short inkjet, laser or embossed sequence.
Common lookup mistakes
- Photograph the exact format and scent because the same Shield range may use different code positions on aerosol, roll-on and stick packs.
- For aerosols, also inspect rust, dents and valve condition; a production estimate cannot show heat exposure or pressure damage.
