Concord, Ontario Canada based Planet Group, a provider of innovative and sustainable packaging and marketing-at-retail solutions, has expanded its digital print capabilities with the installation of a Domino X630i digital aqueous inkjet corrugated press at Hughes Decorr, part of the Planet Group of companies.
Planet Group identified digital printing as a critical capability as customer demand grows for shorter runs, faster turnarounds, customization, and campaign flexibility. After evaluating digital solutions designed specifically for corrugated, the company selected Domino for its robust platform, aqueous ink technology, and strong service and support model.
“The Domino X630i gives us the ability to offer high-quality, full-colour digital printing directly on corrugated with minimal setup time,” says Stephen Longmire, VP of Sales, Hughes Decorr. “It allows us to help customers move faster, reduce inventory, and maintain consistency.”
With the Domino X630i, Planet Group can help customers launch programs faster without printing plates, run multiple versions or retailer-specific programs, test new concepts or limited releases, and maintain consistent branding across short runs and reorders.
The press also enables Planet Group to pursue more short- and mid-run branded packaging, retailer-specific versions, rapid prototyping, pilot programs, and seasonal or promotional work that was previously cost-prohibitive using conventional methods.
From a production standpoint, the Domino X630i is expected to reduce make-ready times, improve throughput on versioned projects, increase flexibility for mixed runs, and deliver consistent colour on repeat digital work translating into quicker turnarounds and more reliable delivery.
Planet Group reports high satisfaction with Domino’s hands-on operator training, workflow integration guidance, and responsive service as key benefits.
“For us, the Domino difference is the combination of a robust technical platform with a genuine partnership approach,” says Mike Bannerman, General Manager, Hughes Decorr. “It’s not just about the hardware it’s about collaboration, optimization, and long-term success.”
