Leibinger unveils 2DJET coding system

Leibinger has unveiled 2DJET, a new industrial coding platform developed specifically for GS1 2D code printing, delivering codes at up to 300 DPI and printing speeds of up to 120 m/min across a wide range of packaging materials and formats.

The system addresses a key challenge facing packaging manufacturers as GS1 2D codes become the new standard across food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and FMCG: the need to print in-line, directly on individual products during production, at full line speed and without compromising readability or substrate flexibility. The 2DJET can print QR codes up to 33 x 33 modules and operates with a throw distance of 8mm, enabling integration into lines where space is limited or packaging geometries vary.

Built on a continuous ink supply architecture with precision pumps and sensors, the system uses high-yield XL cartridges that can be replaced on the fly without stopping the line. Fast-drying inks support immediate downstream processing at high speeds, and the design minimizes maintenance through a reduced component count, no filter requirements and tool-free operator handling.

With the ink cartridge as the only regular consumable and minimal spare-part demand, Leibinger says the system is designed to deliver return on investment within the first year of operation.

The commercial launch is planned for early 2027, with trial and demo installations for pilot projects scheduled for late 2026.
