How to Read a Julian Code Many of our product codes use the Julian date method. A Julian date always has only four numbers. An example code might read 8278. The first number at the beginning of the code is the year, which would be 2018 in the example. The three numbers is the Julian day in the year the product was manufactured. For 2018, the 278th day was October 5th. A product with this example code was made on October 5, 2018. Another example code might be 0025. This Julian date would be January 25, 2020. If you see 0102, that would be April 11, 2020. | |
