Domino, exhibitor at ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS, supports manufacturers in the secure adoption of 2D codes, meeting growing demands for safety, traceability, and anti-counterfeiting. A global leader in variable data printing, the company anticipates regulatory changes, particularly in the pharmaceutical and tobacco industries. With proven expertise and GS1-compliant technologies, Domino delivers high-performance solutions such as the K300 range for fast 2D code printing on bottle caps. Developed with Korean manufacturers, these innovations address upcoming 2026 legislation banning external labels on bottled water.

Exhibiting at ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS, Domino supports its customers in the secure implementation of 2D codes in a constantly evolving regulatory environment.

The superiority of 2D codes over 1D barcodes is well established, but these codes have been subject to increasingly strict regulatory requirements concerning consumer safety, traceability, and the fight against counterfeiting. Domino rightly reminds us: “The regulations governing consumer product labelling are constantly evolving worldwide, and a growing number of industries are adopting 2D codes to increase transparency and traceability, while reducing the risk of product counterfeiting.” This is why the specialist in digital printing and traceability solutions offers its expertise to help industrial production companies meet regulatory requirements for 2D codes across all sectors.

Strong expertise

Domino has solid strengths in this area: “As a global leader in variable data printing solutions, Domino has stayed ahead of worldwide regulatory developments requiring the use of serialized 2D codes, including in the pharmaceutical and tobacco sectors,” explains James Cutforth, Global Regulated Sectors Manager at Domino. “Having helped our pharmaceutical clients worldwide prepare for the European and US FMD, DSCSA, and MDR regulations, we understand the complexities involved in equipping production lines to manage the high-speed printing of serialized 2D codes,” adds Bart Vansteenkiste, Global Life Sciences Sector Manager at Domino Printing Sciences, who has been working closely with the international GS1 barcode standardization organization for more than 20 years.

Over the years, Domino has developed a wide range of internationally compliant printing technologies designed to handle high-speed printing of serialized and variable data 2D codes (including Gx-Series thermal inkjet printers, Vx-Series thermal transfer coders, K-Series high-resolution monochrome inkjet printers, and Dx-Series CO₂ laser coders).

To illustrate this capability, Domino highlights the recent launch of its bottle cap printing stations, delivering 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 caps, were developed in close collaboration with leading Korean bottled water manufacturers, in anticipation of the new legislation that will ban the use of external labels on bottled water as of January 2026,” the company explains.
