April 14, 2025 (Packaging News) –
Domino Printing Sciences is helping Grupo CAC, one of Portugal’s largest egg producers to ensure strict quality assurance processes, traceability, and compliance with global food safety standards.
The company uses Domino’s ‘egg to pallet’ coding solutions to provide secure coding of their Matinados egg brand – starting with a variable code on each eggshell.
After grading, Grupo CAC’s eggs are printed with an ‘egg code’ by an Ax350i continuous inkjet printer.
The code serves as the egg’s passport, enabling full traceability from the point of sale right back to the place of production.
Egg pack coding is managed by Domino’s egg pack printing traverser, which provides high-quality, high-resolution coding on up to 80 egg packs per minute using a Domino Gx350i thermal inkjet printer.
Egg packs are then packaged into shipping cases and pallets – ready to ship out to grocery stores across Portugal – with each pallet labelled for distribution by a Domino M230i-T4 labeller.
Tiago Ribeiro, head of the technical department, Grupo CAC, said: “Domino’s technology is vital in our operations. From the moment eggs arrive for classification to their distribution, every second counts. The integration with Moba equipment and the accuracy of Domino’s solutions help us achieve the highest coding, hygiene, and safety standards.”
Miguel Castelo Branco, account manager, Domino Portugal, added: “For Grupo CAC, we ensured every eggshell and its packaging was coded with precision, meeting all regulatory and traceability needs. It’s a partnership built on trust and innovation.”
