Smart packaging is a game changer by revolutionising how products are stored, transported and experienced by consumers. Keep reading to find out why your business needs to adapt to these practices.
What is Smart Packaging?
Think of smart packaging as the bridge between traditional packaging and the digital age. It’s packaging that communicates. Whether it’s a QR code that provides consumers with product information or RFID tags that track items in real-time, smart packaging integrates technology to offer more than just protection.

What is BRCGS and Why Does It Matter?
The BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards) certification is a leading global standard for product safety and quality. It makes sure that businesses adhere to the safety, legality, and quality standards, earning them recognition across the supply chain.
We are actively working towards obtaining the BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard. This strongly indicates our dedication to meeting high standards of food safety and quality in our packaging processes.
How Smart Packaging is Used Across Industries
Smart packaging is changing a wide range of industries by integrating new technology to improve product safety, streamline supply chains, and promote sustainability. In the food sector, smart packaging employs sensors to monitor temperature and freshness, reducing waste, and ensuring quality. Pharmaceuticals benefit from RFID-enabled packaging that maintains optimal conditions for temperature-sensitive medications, ensuring compliance, and preventing spoilage.
Retailers utilise QR codes and NFC tags to engage consumers with product information and promotions, improving the shopping experience. Moreover, smart packaging contributes to sustainability by incorporating recyclable materials and facilitating proper disposal, aligning with circular economy principles.
