1.Packaging Internet
The packaging Internet has brought technological subversion to traditional packaging, allowing consumers to better connect with brands.
Smart packaging uses technologies such as QR codes, smart tags, RFID and near-field communication ( NFC ) chips. These cutting-edge solutions provide value-added advantages such as security, authentication, and connectivity, making product packaging a data carrier and digital tool.
AR Packaging provides the company with a better opportunity to interact with customers by introducing a series of product content, discount codes and video tutorials to customers. In addition, IoT devices allow brands to integrate diagnostic and indication functions in their packaging to provide customers with real-time product status.
2.Biodegradable packaging
Plastic is the most commonly used packaging material since the beginning of the 20 th century. However, its slow decomposition rate will lead to a wide range of environmental problems. As consumers become more aware of the negative consequences of disposable plastic packaging, they need environmentally friendly alternatives. Biodegradable packaging and films are becoming more and more popular and are suitable substitutes for traditional plastic packaging.
For example, starch, cellulose, PLA, polyhydroxybutyrate ( PHB ), polyhydroxyalkanoate ( PHA ) and other biopolymers. In addition, plant-based packaging of sugarcane, coconut, hemp and corn starch also replaced plastic packaging. These innovations are economical for enterprises and can reduce the impact of the packaging industry on the environment.
