Packaging provider Planet Group has installed a Domino X630i digital aqueous inkjet corrugated press at Hughes Decorr, part of the Planet Group of companies in Concord, Ontario, Canada.

Expanding the company’s digital capabilities, the investment strengthens Planet Group’s ability to support brands from concept to shelf by delivering high-quality, full-colour digital printing directly on corrugated packaging with greater speed, flexibility, and efficiency.

Planet Group brings together multiple companies to support customers across the entire packaging supply chain – Hughes Decorr serves as the organisation’s creative and shopper-marketing engine, specialising in POP displays and packaging. President of Planet Group Jason Berns said this integration allows the company to move a product through the supply chain as a single, coordinated solution.

Planet Group identified digital printing as a critical capability as customer demand grows for shorter runs, faster turnarounds, customisation, and campaign flexibility. After evaluating digital solutions designed specifically for corrugated, the company selected Domino for its platform, aqueous ink technology, and strong service and support model.

Stephen Longmire, vice president of sales at Hughes Decorr, commented: “The Domino X630i gives us the ability to offer high-quality, full-colour digital printing directly on corrugated with minimal setup time. It allows us to help customers move faster, reduce inventory, and maintain strong brand consistency.”

With the Domino X630i, Planet Group can help customers launch programs faster without printing plates, enabling multiple or retailer-specific versions, rapid testing of new concepts, limited releases, and consistent branding across short runs and reorders. The press also makes short- and mid-run branded packaging, rapid prototyping, pilot programs, and seasonal or promotional work more viable, while reducing make-ready times, improving throughput on versioned and mixed runs, and delivering consistent colour – resulting in quicker turnarounds and more reliable delivery for customers.

Planet Group views digital printing as a strategic growth driver that complements its existing conventional corrugated capacity. The Domino X630i is expected to help attract new customers, deepen partnerships with existing brands, reduce the risk of obsolete inventory, and better align with retailer demands for fast, flexible packaging solutions.

“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, optimisation, and long-term success.”

He concluded: “With the Domino X630i and the broader Planet Group platform behind it, we are strongly positioned to help customers navigate where packaging and retail marketing are headed… faster, more targeted, and more sustainable.”
