Sherwood Technology collaborates with Domino

Sunday, 15 May, 2005

Sherwood Technology has announced its collaboration with Domino to supply DataLase. The companies have recently signed a supply licence agreement. The agreement will enable Domino to supply a total coding and printing solution to a number of sectors worldwide, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage and product security.

Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will share the benefit of Domino selling its lasers along with the DataLase consumables to Domino's customers. Sherwood will not only be supplying its patented DataLase colour change solution but will also be making its new DataLase Masterbatch available via Domino's global supply chain.

Domino lasers allow high performance coding and when combined with Sherwood's DataLase, in contrast to other methods, the company will be able to produce an indelible, permanent mark that does not smear, peel or fade away.

DataLase combines chemistry, substrate conversion and laser energy, using very low power laser light for the high-speed printing of images. DataLase is a precise, non-contact alternative to traditional printing methods, providing an infinite array of solutions, for example date-coding, barcoding and graphics. It is completely flexible and is equally suitable for metal decoration, flexible packaging, paper, board and plastics. Research is also under way into making the technique available for an infinite number of applications including the direct marking of glass and confectionery or pharmaceutical tablets.
