DOMINO Printing Sciences is launching the high-speed Ux360i UV laser coder at interpack 2026.
The UV laser coding system is designed to help manufacturers achieve ‘high‑quality’ permanent codes on sensitive and recyclable packaging materials without compromising line performance.
Domino explained that in demanding production environments such as food, pharmaceutical, and life sciences, the Ux360i addresses the challenge of how to apply clear, durable codes on mono‑plastics and thin films as packaging moves towards more sustainable designs.
Unlike traditional laser technologies, UV laser coding is said to use a low‑impact photochemical process that delivers high‑contrast, ink‑like codes while interacting only with the very top layer of the substrate. This allows manufacturers to code heat‑sensitive plastics and films without damaging barrier layers or packaging integrity.
The Ux360i UV laser coder has been developed to support more complex requirements, including GS1‑compliant 2D codes for traceability, serialisation, and variable data. With a new high‑speed scan head and optimised coding algorithms, Domino claims the system delivers ‘significant’ productivity gains, achieving up to 80% faster QR code marking compared with the firm’s previous‑generation UV solution.
“The Ux360i has been designed to help manufacturers move faster, code more reliably, and adapt to new packaging materials, such as mono-plastics and thin films, with confidence,” said Christina Mallin, product manager for UV lasers. “It brings together high‑speed performance, integration flexibility, and the coding quality needed for today’s traceability and sustainability requirements.”
More than 50 standard beam delivery and orientation options are featured, including a fully rotatable scan head. Utilising Domino Automationsoftware, the Ux360i can also integrate with customer production environments and ERP/MES systems to centralise and streamline label management.
For regulated industries, the Ux360i is designed to support international standards such as EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and is backed by Domino’s GAMP 5‑trained validation expertise.
