Domino’s X630i Corrugated Press Delivers “Everyday Digital” Packaging Diversification and Success for Independent II

03 April 2024

Corrugated converter, Independent II, has praised Domino Printing Sciences as the ‘partner’ of choice for converters setting out on their digital printing journey. The recent installation of a Domino X630i digital corrugated press has allowed the company to offer profitable short- and medium-run market opportunities to its brand customers, facilitating new business innovation while maximising productivity and efficiency.

“Our goal was to bring digital packaging success to our market. The philosophy that drove this vision was what I term “everyday digital,” says MacDonald. “We wanted to change from a brown box manufacturer to a brand box and a digital box performer… in a way that would deliver consistent value and quality to our customers – and make it achievable for us to manage every day.”

Independent II selected Domino’s X630i digital aqueous inkjet corrugated press to facilitate this transition. Launched in June 2020, the X630i is based on a globally proven inkjet system with over 1,000 installations globally. The press is designed for everyday corrugated production, delivering short- and medium-run printing jobs while reducing waste in set-up, downtime, and inventory – maintaining an excellent total cost of ownership. The capability of incorporating versioning as well as variable data also makes the press an attractive choice for cost-effective longer runs of customised designs.

“The X630i single pass digital press is pretty much unique to the market. It produces award-winning, aqueous-based, four-colour print on uncoated and coated corrugated sheets – which our business is built on. As soon as we saw the X630i, we were certain that this would be the right investment to support Independent II through our business evolution,” MacDonald explains. “For our customers, this move has meant the ability to think about colour and variation, and change their message to their needs. For us, it has meant service line innovation our production team could manage with minimal experience in corrugated.”

“Domino is delighted that Independent II has successfully achieved packaging diversification and business innovation with its ‘everyday digital’ philosophy,” says Peter van Riel, European Commercial Director, Domino Printing Sciences. “This is an industry-leading example of what can be achieved with today’s digital inkjet solutions, and we are proud that our technology has facilitated such success.”
