Domino Printing Sciences unveils direct-to-box printing for F&B packaging
Key takeaways
- Domino Printing Sciences introduces the Cx150i, a direct-to-box inkjet printer designed for secondary packaging in F&B and general manufacturing sectors.
- The Cx150i is said to offer cost-of-ownership savings compared to traditional labeling solutions.
- The printer can be integrated with factory systems through Domino Automation and Domino Cloud.
Domino Printing Sciences, an advanced variable data printing solution provider, has launched the Domino Cx150i printer for coding onto porous boxes. The compact, high‑resolution direct‑to‑box piezo inkjet printer was developed to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional box‑coding solutions.
The Cx150i is designed for secondary packaging in F&B and general manufacturing businesses, where operational simplicity, environmental footprint, and budget are key considerations. The printer is said to provide “premium print quality and robust industrial performance at an accessible price point.”
David Edwards, product manager for piezo inkjet at Domino Printing Sciences, says: “The Cx150i represents a hugely capable direct‑to‑box printer at an accessible price. It offers significant cost‑of‑ownership savings when compared to labeling solutions and boasts strong environmental credentials: vegetable‑oil–based ink, minimal waste, and no factory air.”
Eco-friendly coding
The Cx150i uses non‑toxic, non‑hazardous vegetable‑oil–based ink. The solution aims to assist manufacturers in reducing waste, enhancing recyclability, and reducing environmental impact.
Moreover, its direct‑to‑box printing capability eliminates adhesive labels, backing liners, and excess consumables for secondary packaging.
According to Domino, the Cx150i industrial inkjet printer enables substantial savings and a reduction in total cost of ownership compared with labeling and previous direct‑to‑box coding systems. The solution features reduced consumables, lower maintenance needs, and improved ink efficiency.
The Cx150i can be integrated with factory manufacturing execution systems and enterprise resource planning systems through Domino Automation. Furthermore, Domino Cloud allows remote monitoring, enhanced OEE visibility, and ongoing optimization of coding operations.
According to the company, the system can be paired with Domino’s R‑Series vision solutions for an end‑to‑end quality‑assurance setup.
Last week, Packaging Insights spoke to Domino at the Aicomp Summit 2026 about how the degree of digitalization in the packaging industry affects printing processes.
Earlier this year, the company showcased 2D codes on pharmaceutical packaging at Pharmapack Europe 2026.
