Typical applications of these printed codes are to track product throughout the logistics supply chain; traceability for food safety, brand protection, or product authentication; shopper engagement and feedback tools/programs; loyalty, gaming, and promotional opportunities; or meeting requirements for state, federal, or global mandates.

Fast-forward to 2019.  Much time has passed since Erickson made that statement in 2013 regarding the company’s first Domino K600i. In that time, the company has thrived with Domino. “Today we are running three K600i’s. The Label Printers has been in business for 50 years. We service the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, anti-counterfeiting and security industries, and more. Domino provides us with dependability, their service has been outstanding, the reliability has been outstanding leading us to a lot of uptime…enabling us to literally produce tens of billions of labels. And we hope to continue the partnership with Domino for the foreseeable future.”
