on site in Knetzgau counts on Domino’s innovative thermal transfer printing technology for the marking of shrink wrapped beverages. The coding takes place directly after the shrink wrapper is cut and spread onto two different web lines.For many years multiple Coca Cola sites have relied on Domino’s laser coders for primary marking. The printers are used for marking PET bottles as well as the coding of bottle labels with best before dates and batch codes.
Up until now Coca Cola used ink jet printers for marking shrink wrapped packs. A KHS Kisters shrink packer cloaks 6 PET-bottles into one pack. The ink jet printers were installed at the outlet of the shrink tunnel.
Following internal project discussions, Domino advised Coca Cola to select thermal transfer overprinting technology (TTO) for the application of best before dates.
After a successful pilot project at a facility in Fürstenfeldbruck, the Coca Cola site in Genshagen approved the purchase of V320i printers.
