Domino laser coder marks heat-sensitive surfaces

The Ux360i uses ultraviolet light and a low-impact photochemical process to mark without damage.

Ux360i UV laser coder Unlike traditional laser technologies, this new ultraviolet light (UV) laser coding device from Domino Printing Sciences uses a low‑impact photochemical process that delivers high‑contrast, clear, durable, ink‑like codes. Because it interacts only with the very top layer of the substrate, it can mark on heat-sensitive and recyclable packaging materials, including mono‑plastics and thin films. Users can seamlessly integrate it into their environments and enterprise-resource-planning (ERP) and manufacturing execution systems (MES). 

What’s new? The coder, which Domino introduced at Interpack 2026. It comes with a new high‑speed scan head and optimized coding algorithms, and compared with older systems delivers productivity gains, including up to 80 percent faster marking speeds. 

Benefits The ability to mark on heat‑sensitive plastics and films without damaging barrier layers or packaging integrity, even at high line speeds. The codes comply with traceability, serialization and variable data standards issued by GS1, an international organization that develops and maintains standards for bar codes.
