Coding on Cans

Domino’s fast and reliable beverage can coding solutions for enhanced production efficiency

What is Can Coding?

Can coding refers to the process of printing essential information such as batch numbers, expiration dates, logos, and barcodes onto metal cans. This information is critical for traceability, quality control, and compliance with industry regulations. The coding is typically done using printing technologies like continuous inkjet (CIJ) and laser, which ensure that the marks are durable and legible throughout the product's lifecycle.
