Domino Printing Sciences will use interpack 2026 to demonstrate integrated variable data printing systems as manufacturers prepare for wider adoption of 2D codes and connected packaging.
The company will exhibit in Hall 8b, Stand C-41 at Messe Düsseldorf from 7 to 13 May. Its demonstrations will cover food, beverage, life sciences, and secondary packaging applications, with systems linking printing, verification, automation, serialisation, and enterprise data.
The shift from linear barcodes to 2D codes changes more than the printed symbol. It affects code generation, print quality, inspection, data handling, product traceability, recall readiness, and the way packaging lines connect with retailer, brand owner, and regulatory systems.
“Coding isn’t changing in isolation,” said Adem Kulauzovic, director of automation and integration at Domino Printing Sciences. “The move towards 2D codes and connected data touches everything from print and verification through to automation, serialisation, and enterprise systems. We see our role as uniting industry experts and collaborating with key partners in the e-commerce and traceability industry – helping manufacturers integrate technologies and partners in a way that makes next-generation coding operational, scalable, and sustainable.”
Domino’s stand will include an integrated solution for printing and verifying 2D codes powered by GS1 in food sector applications. The company will also demonstrate laser marking for flexible films, a high-speed beverage closure printing system, a life sciences blister pack coding solution, and an automation and intelligence hub designed to connect multiple technologies and partner capabilities.
The food and beverage applications place connected packaging directly on production lines where speed, code quality, inspection, and data handling must operate together. More complex code formats increase the need for reliable verification, particularly where manufacturers need traceability data without adding new failure points in production.
Domino will also work with Amazon and GS1 Germany GmbH through on-stand activity and wider event engagement. The collaboration will focus on standards, interoperability, and data infrastructure supporting practical adoption of 2D codes across packaging and supply chains.
Craig Stobie, director of global sector development at Domino, will present “Unlocking the many benefits from the adoption and successful implementation of 2D codes” on Saturday 9 May at 10.30am as part of the official interpack Spotlight Forum.
Visitors can find event details, complimentary ticket information, and meeting options through Domino’s interpack 2026 page.
