Food

With over 30 years experience in working with leading food manufacturers, Domino has developed a range of coding solutions that can print directly onto food and food packaging. Domino's Continuous| ,  Thermal| ,  Piezo|  DOD|  and Valve-Jet|  DOD|  ink jet, Thermal Transfer Overprinting|  and  Laser| technology has set the industry standard for print quality, consistency and reliability.

Key Applications

Food Grade

• High quality coding directly onto food such as ice cream, cheese and confectionary products using  food grade ink
• Range of ink colours ensures legibility and outstanding contrast
• Approvals include FDA and EU food-grade applications
• Odour free inks for printing onto products and permeable packaging such as cigarettes
• Self-disinfecting inks

Eggs

• Foodgrade inks that are fast drying and self disinfecting
• Coding directly onto egg shells
• Non-contact printing ensures high quality print onto curved surfaces
• A-Series egg coder application integrates seamlessly with all main egg grader machines

PET

• Tuned lasers  enable, high quality permanent laser coding without perforation
• High speed continuous  ink jet printing with fast drying inks ensures code is not smeared or rubbed off
• Non-contact printers produce high quality code onto uneven and curved surfaces
• Abrasion-resistant inks that will not rub off
• Laser codes stay crisp and clear even after wash down

Flexible Packs / Flow Wrap

• Superior adhesion on plastics, foils and laminate ensures ink remains legible when flexed
• Non contact continuous  and thermal  ink jet  and laser printing will not damage substrate
• Tuned lasers enable high quality permanent laser coding without perforation
• Highly efficient thermal transfer  overprinting in high volume manufacturing environments

Glass

• Superior adhesion on wet glass
• White inks to print onto darker backgrounds for outstanding contrast
• Removable inks for returnable bottles
• Nude inks only visible under UV lights for internal traceability without visually marking finished product
• Permanent laser  coding

Cans

• Excellent metal adhesion inks
• Consistently clear coding
• Thermochromic inks change colour when cans have been steam sterilised
• Code anywhere from cap to bottom of cans

Cartons

• Excellent adhesion even on heavily laminated cartons
• Tuned lasers  offer letter-quality coding on the range of carton coatings
• Continuous  and thermal  ink jet  and  laser coders keep pace with high speed lines

Corrugated Outer Cases

• Minimise inventory variants and simplify stock planning using piezo ink jet (high resolution larger character), valve-jet (large character) and print and apply  labellers
• Flexibility for ad-hoc printing runs and personalisation of packaging at no extra cost
• Eliminate the need for pre-printed cases
• Print variable data, graphics and bar coding including GS1 compliant codes

Shrink Wrapped Trays / Pallets 

• Print and Apply labellers provide high resolution printing of bar codes, text and graphics
• Ensure supply chain compliance with GS1 compliant codes
• Accurate information and label placement with no compromise in line speeds
• Modular systems for seamless integration
