Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) has announced the launch of a new range of high-speed product handling and printing solutions designed to support beverage manufacturers’ move away from labels on bottles for environmental and legislative reasons. Domino’s range of Bottle Closure Printing Stations has been developed to print variable data and machine-readable codes, including QR codes, onto HDPE bottle caps and closures. 

“In the beverage industry, there is growing interest in labelless bottles and the role they can play in supporting the move towards a circular economy,” says Nigel Allen, Marketing Manager 2D Codes & High-Resolution Inkjet, Domino. “Although plastic labels are often recyclable, they typically need to be removed prior to disposal to ensure that both labels and bottles can be recycled.”
