At interpack, Leibinger will unveil 2DJET, its new coding class and a completely new approach to industrial coding and marking. Built to solve a key challenge facing the packaging industry – the transition to GS1 2D codes – 2DJET delivers sharp, GS1-compliant 2D codes at up to 300 dpi and printing speeds of up to 120 m/min across a wide range of packaging materials and formats.
According to the company, the 2DJET is designed for seamless integration into existing production lines and is easy to install and operate, helping manufacturers simplify both implementation and GS1-compliant day-to-day production.
The new system features a continuous ink supply designed for uninterrupted production. It delivers sharp codes at up to 300 dpi and printing speeds of up to 120 m/min, with the capability to print QR codes up to 33 x 33 modules.
As a touchless printing technology, 2DJET brings with it the core advantages that have made CIJ successful in industrial environments. It can be used across a broad variety of packaging materials and is suitable for different product shapes and surface conditions – from flat to curved, and from smooth to more challenging surfaces.
With a throw distance of 8 mm, the compact printhead can be integrated into production lines with a high degree of flexibility, making installation easier even where space is limited or packaging geometries vary.
The new 2DJET is built for 24/7 operation. The ink supply system has been engineered for maximum uptime. A smart ink architecture with precision pumps and sensors ensures a consistently stable ink supply. To further support uninterrupted production, the system combines this with a cartridge-based supply concept that allows high-yield XL cartridges to be replaced quickly and easily on the fly during operation, without stopping the line.
At the same time, specially developed, fast-drying inks ensure excellent drying performance across a wide range of substrates, enabling immediate downstream processing even at high production speeds.
The company said the entire operating concept is designed around low-maintenance performance. A reduced number of components, minimal system wear, no need for filters, and the long service life of key parts all contribute to exceptionally low spare-part requirements. Operator handling is simple and completely tool-free, supported by an intuitive HMI that makes daily use straightforward. Together with its streamlined design, the printer keeps maintenance effort and service complexity to an absolute minimum.
For packaging manufacturers, the 2DJET combines high throughput with flexibility across a broad range of packaging materials and formats, supporting continuous operation at full line speed. At the same time, it produces sharp, GS1-compliant 2D codes at industrial scale. It helps manufacturers meet coding and traceability requirements, while delivering stable, measurable performance.
Live at interpack
Leibinger will present the 2DJET concept and prototype live at interpack. Visitors to the Leibinger Stand D26 in Hall 8B will have the opportunity to experience this new coding class firsthand and explore how it could be integrated into their future 2D coding strategies.
The commercial launch is planned for early 2027, with trials and demo installations for pilot projects scheduled for the end of this year.
