Coding, Printing & Labeling

JetAir Technologies and Domino Printing teamed up to ensure customers remain ahead of the curve

With a single, integrated system, one of the biggest headaches in inkjet coding is solved. The SureCode™ prepares and dries coding space prior to printing to ensure consistent, quality codes on all packaging surface types. The SureCode™ blends both companies’ innovative solutions in a single piece of equipment that takes up fewer than 50 inches of line space. “With this system, we address a problem that 50% of our customers aren’t aware of until start up,” JetAir’s Dan Snyder, Director of Key Accounts, explains.
