What substrate?

To meet the requirements of Track and Trace legislation, it is essential that products have human and machine-readable codes that are sharp and clear. This demands an optimized product handling process at the point of coding for both soft and hard packs. That's why Domino has designed Track and Trace specific coding solutions like the Cigarette Pack Coding Station (CPCS) - a cutting-edge solution designed to help manufacturers comply with Unique Product Identification and track-and-trace regulations while keeping the highest OEE. This all-in-one system is capable of coding both soft and hard packs with codes that can be effortlessly read by humans and machines alike, all while maintaining a blazingly fast speed of up to 500 packs per minute.

Coding onto multiple substrates
