In an effort to standardise wine labelling across the European Union, new guidelines for wine labelling have recently been introduced, requiring wine and spirits manufacturers to include more detailed product information on packaging.

In our blog post, you can find out what steps you should follow when introducing 1D or 2D codes to your production for the first time, as well as how to choose the right printer for your needs.

The Cx350i has been designed to overcome problems associated with legacy solutions, including poor day-to-day reliability, outdated interfaces, and limited connectivity, as well as provide multiple environmental benefits for manufacturers.

As consumers are becoming more accustomed to scanning QR codes, having multiple 2D codes on product packaging can become confusing, cause issues with scanning at POS systems, and take up valuable space on the packaging design.

Domino Thermal Transfer Printers Vx-Series increase uptime and ribbon usage.

Domino is fully committed to developing coding solutions that support the move to more sustainable packaging materials.

Antares Vision Group, empowered by FT System technology, inspects tethered caps with high accuracy, ensuring compliance without interrupting operations. Directive 2019/904 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union introduced new requirements for caps that are scheduled to come into force in July 2024. All caps must remain attached to containers after they have been opened to prevent plastic from entering the environment and promote recycling in tandem with the containers

Driven by patient health and safety, serialisation and track and trace requirements are now standard for pharmaceutical products worldwide. Legislation includes the EU’s Falsified Medicine Directive (EU FMD) and the US Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which both necessitate serialisation through every step of the supply chain, as well as government reporting for prescription pharmaceutical products.

While the exact future of pharmaceutical serialisation remains unclear, it is undeniable that patient safety and counterfeit protection will remain of paramount concern.

The link between sustainability and productivity can perhaps be best illustrated by looking at the three main components of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE): uptime, throughput and quality.

Optimizing the efficiency of your production line's performance can make a big difference in your overall success, as well as the efficiency of your equipment. Greater productivity, along with shorter planned downtime, also means less waste - which directly affects sustainable development.
In this blog, we explore the different ways your business can optimize performance to protect against unplanned downtime, reduce downtime and therefore increase productivity.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) has long been established as the standard technology for printing real-time and variable data, machine-readable codes, and images onto flexible packaging films and labels.
However, there is now a viable alternative for many applications - which could benefit manufacturers looking to prioritise sustainable manufacturing methods, reduce waste, and optimise their total cost of ownership.
