High-resolution, high-constrast codes from product to pallet

Domino is the only partner with the expertise and technology to provide on-site high-resolution printing and serialisation solutions from product to pallet. Designed to help you reduce costs, waste, and time while keeping the highest levels of patient safety. Our solutions offer full connectivity and integration throughout your production line including our own code validation vision system, optimised for our printers and integrated with our serialisation software to ensure compliance while reaching the highest levels of line efficiency.

As hospitals and pharmacies strive to provide safer patient care, it's essential to have reliable and accurate machine-readable codes. While current regulations only require traceability down to the carton level, it's clear that more precise and higher levels of traceability will be necessary in the future. That's where the Domino K600G comes in. As an on-site high-resolution printing solution, it offers a native resolution of 600dpi and excellent greyscale capability. With its ability to print high-contrast designs even in small codes, the Domino enables traceability at a dose level, ensuring patient safety every step of the way. The K600G is the perfect solution that not only meets current market standards but also exceeds future requirements.

Ensuring Precision and Compliance with Domino's Coding Solutions

Precision and accuracy are vital in all stages of medical device manufacturing, from design to labelling and packaging. Our fiber lasers are capable of producing prints that are up to ten times finer and sharper than other printers, ensuring precise text, graphics, and 2D Data Matrix code marking on even the smallest devices. It's essential to maintain compliance with all relevant legislation while maximizing production. Domino offers a complete range of coding and printing solutions that cover everything from individual products to entire pallets.

Our range of high-quality case markers, labellers, and coders is designed to meet all your case coding needs, from simple date codes to Grade A GS1-compliant barcodes. Our systems are robust, flexible and suitable for various types of case coding applications. We also offer top-notch pallet marking and labelling solutions that are GS1 compliant, durable, and legible. Our Mx-Series pallet labelling systems are easy to integrate into your production line and IT systems, ensuring high-speed labelling that keeps production up and costs down. With our extensive experience and expertise in pallet printing, you can be assured that your goods are traceable throughout the supply chain.

Coding onto multiple substrates

At Domino, we know that our customers need to be able to code onto various surfaces and substrates. That's why we pride ourselves on being able to meet some of the most complex and challenging demands that our customers experience. Partner with us and see how we can help you overcome your obstacles. Here are some examples...

Blister and blister foil

The K600G, created in partnership with leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, is an innovative digital printing solution for blister foil. It uses proven piezo drop-on-demand technology from Domino and has been installed successfully in over 500 locations worldwide. The device has the ability to produce high-quality, reliable, and digital variable data printing at speeds of up to 75m/min with a resolution of 600 dpi. The new K600G offers a range of solutions to cater to varying installation needs, such as off-line, near-line, top-of-line, sealed-blister-coding, which enables printing directly on blister packs, and an integrated-line version designed specifically for OEMs.

Labels

Our fibre and scribing laser printing solutions create accurate text, graphics and 2D Data Matrix codes on a range of materials – including plastic or glass. With no need for inks or solvents, they use minimal resources – making them cost effective and removing the need for planned maintenance. They are also designed to maximise flexibility and minimise size – so that they can be integrated into existing production processes while still offering the same world-class performance.

For simple character coding onto bottle labels, our industry-leading range of continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) – the Ax-Series – provides a consistently reliable and cost-effective alternative to thermal transfer printing. And with modular stackability, they can fit into the tight spaces, making for easy integration. Our new generation of precision ink drop technology – the i-Pulse system – gives you significant gains in ink usage, droplet accuracy and placement at traditional print speeds. You’ll reduce costs and maintain uptime.

Boxes and cartons

Domino’s laser and thermal Inkjet printers offer cost-effective, high-quality printing solutions. Both can produce sharp text, graphics, and human- and machine-readable 2D Data Matrix codes on 95% of commonly used carton materials. Our laser printers combine a small overall footprint with a unique i-Tech scanhead – which can be rotated in multiple directions. Our thermal inkjet printers work with a range of substrate-specific inks and feature a modular design that can be scaled to fit your changing requirements. This allows them to offer maximum flexibility – so that they can be integrated into your existing production processes and ensure accuracy at high production speeds

Leaders in sustainability

We work together with top corporations and pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide tailored serialisation, coding and code inspection solutions and services. We aim to reduce waste, optimize production resources, and minimize fluid consumption. We help our customers improve the recyclability of their products by removing layers of packaging or labels and developing on-site digital coding solutions that reduce waste and optimize their supply chain. We also support customers transitioning to more sustainable packaging materials with inks and laser coding methods that won't harm the recycling process or contaminate the recycling stream. Our commitment is to offer comprehensive guidance and support to all brands striving to enhance their sustainability through these initiatives.
