AI-based vision systems that help to identify packaging damages and errors like misspelled package labels.

Connected packaging solutions that use technologies like sensors, radiofrequency (RF) tags, near-field communication (NFC) tags, and cryptographic signatures. This prevents the counterfeiting of packages, improves traceability, and enables the identification of product refill levels.

IoT-connected packaging solutions that are charged on a per-use basis. The package is returned after use and can typically be reused multiple times before recycling.

Printing solutions that allow users to print full-color images and text directly onto packages of any shape, including cans and bottles.

AI-based package design software that helps users design the optimum packaging for their products to minimize wastage. Also includes on-demand packaging solutions that use technologies like 3D printing to offer low-volume package printing with reduced lead times.

Platforms that connect providers of packaging solutions with customers online.

Packaging that can heat or chill food contents when a user requires it without external heat sources or power (typically using a chemical reaction).

Next-gen packaging solutions that improve personalization and traceability while minimizing waste

Overview

<div>
  <p>
    Packaging tech refers to the use of technologies like AI, IoT, computer vision, advanced design, and 3D printing to deliver smart packaging solutions. This includes tech solutions geared toward: 1) packaging development, such as AI-based packaging designs, printing solutions, reusable packages (often offered as packaging-as-a-service), and packaging that can heat or chill food without external heat sources or power; 2) post-production packaging solutions like packaging inspection to help identify damages and errors; and 3) online packaging marketplaces that connect packaging solutions providers with customers.

    Meanwhile, customer demand for convenience, an increase in security concerns (the need for anti-counterfeit and anti-theft measures), and the requirement to track goods along the supply chain have driven demand for smart packaging. Sustainability concerns have also played an integral part in the evolution of these solutions, prompting businesses to adopt new business models like reusable packaging-as-a-service and custom designs to cut down on waste.
