Domino helping UK confectioner meet coding requirements

Established in Yorkshire in the 1850s, Joseph Dobson & Sons  has invested in a range of Domino technologies over the years, including four V-Series thermal transfer overlay (TTO) systems, two G-Series i-Tech thermal inkjet printers and an A series inkjet coder.

For Joseph Dobson & Sons, coding has become a key part of its production process, which was originally being handled manually using another brand of inkjet printer.

Joseph Dobson & Sons owner and managing director Stephen Walshaw said: ‘Using the previous system was a very slow and messy process; if you didn’t get the tubes aligned on the old printer, you’d end up with ink spray everywhere. We needed technology that would fit into our new automated packing and bagging lines and most importantly, print clear sell-by and batch codes without interfering with production output.’

‘Working with Domino and its range of coding technologies has really helped us to grow as a business.’

The company has also replaced its old inkjet printer with Domino’s A-Series to work with its hand packed sweets. ‘It’s a far cry from the unreliable, messy product it replaced and my staff love it. It’s easy to use, clean, efficient and starts up every time,’ said Walshaw.
