PACK EXPO 2026

The adoption of 2D codes is revolutionising data accessibility, benefiting consumers, retailers, and brand owners alike. With a global push for 2D code adoption, including GS1's announcement of an official sunrise period starting in 2027, businesses must prepare for this transition. As an active member of the GS1 2D Solutions Group, we provide expert guidance on implementing 2D codes, from concept to production, across various packaging needs.

Waste reduction

Real-time visibility helps prevent stockouts, minimise overstocking, and improve overall inventory accuracy. 2D codes can be placed on products that need to be cleared from inventory, with dynamic pricing (decreasing as a product approaches expiry) incentivising customers to purchase quickly and thereby minimising waste.

READ MORE: Sustainable labelling

Pallet labels allow for easy tracking of inventory in and out of a warehouse. Forklift operators and warehouse staff can scan the barcode on the label to record the location, movement, or storage of the pallet.

Throughout transportation and supply chain, the label enables stakeholders to monitor where the pallet is at each stage, ensuring accurate tracking during shipping.

High-Speed Coding even in the most demanding environments

The Domino range of lasers presents an unprecedented chance for beverage factories to achieve crisp codes directly on cans or bottles, coding as many as 100k products per hour or over 70k labels per hour. Cutting down on maintenance requirements and eliminating the necessity for fluids our lasers are prepared to consistently performs even in the sugary, moisture-rich backdrop of a beverage plant.

Our Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers are tough, flexible, and robust. They offer high-quality coding through i-Pulse printheads and inks. Encased in stackable cabinets made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, our CIJ printers are dust-tight and designed to withstand heavy-duty cleaning for optimum performance.

Avoidable production waste and costly product recalls are large and unpredictable cost drivers for companies. But mistakes are unavoidable and can happen. Thanks to intelligent camera systems, however, labeling errors can be detected at an early stage and production quality can be maximized in the long term.

With the Domino R-Series vision system, you can inspect 1D barcodes, 2D DataMatrix codes, stacked or combined lot numbers for legibility, quality and correctness to ensure international labeling requirements and minimize rejects and product recalls. This ensures that every code that leaves your factory is present and correct, freeing up the operator for more important tasks.

Learn more about the R-Series and avoid coding errors with code inspection & validation directly during production.

Automation & Integration

Domino Printing’s coding automation and label design printing control software enables you to quickly design labels and manage their distribution through primary, secondary and tertiary applications.

Integrate printers into MES and ERP systems, and OEM equipment using industry standard protocols such as Weihenstephan Standards (WS), enabling plug and play installation and ensuring accurate data for overall equipment efficiency (OEE).

This means faster product setup and changeover times, and greatly reduces recalls and reworking caused by operator error.
