Exhibiting at ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS, Domino supports its customers in the secure implementation of 2D codes in an ever-changing regulatory environment

The superiority of 2D codes over 1D barcodes no longer needs to be demonstrated, but these codes have been subject to increasing regulatory requirements in terms of consumer safety, traceability and the fight against counterfeiting.

As Domino points out, ‘ regulations governing the labelling of consumer products are constantly evolving around the world, and a growing number of industries are adopting 2D codes to improve transparency and traceability and combat the risk of product counterfeiting ’. This is why the specialist in digital printing and traceability solutions is offering to help its customers in the industrial production sector to meet the regulatory requirements for 2D codes in all their areas of activity.

Solid experience

As the world’s leading provider of variable data printing solutions, Domino has been at the forefront of global regulatory developments requiring the use of serialised 2D codes, including in the pharmaceutical and tobacco sectors,’ says James Cutforth, Head of Global Regulated Sectors at Domino.

‘ Having helped our pharmaceutical customers around the world prepare for EU and US FMD, DSCSA and MDR regulations, we understand the complexities of equipping production lines to handle the rapid printing of serialised 2D codes,’ adds Bart Vansteenkiste, Global Life Sciences Sector Manager at Domino Printing Sciences, which has been working closely with the international barcode standardisation organisation GS1 for over 20 years and has developed a wide range of internationally compliant printing technologies designed to handle the rapid printing of serialised and variable data 2D codes ( Gx Series thermal inkjet printers, Vx Series thermal transfer coders, K Series high-resolution monochrome inkjet printers, Dx Series CO2 laser coders).

To illustrate this capability, Domino cites the recent launch of the Domino range of bottle closure printing stations, which offer high-resolution, high-speed printing with the K300 printer. ‘ These new solutions, which print variable data and 2D codes, including QR codes, on HDPE bottle closures, have been developed in close collaboration with Korea’s leading bottled water manufacturers, in anticipation of new legislation that will ban the use of external labels on bottled water from January 2026,’ notes Domino, which invites you to take a look at the solutions available on its website for your safe entry into the world of 2D codes.
