China's packaging industry has reached 1.9 trillion yuan, the second largest in the world, and smart packaging is likely to be the next. Predictably, with the advent of the Internet of things and social consumption upgrading, it is inevitable that some areas will be upgraded from traditional packaging to smart packaging.

What is smart packaging?

Intelligent packaging, through innovative thinking, added more in the packaging machinery, electrical, electronic and chemical properties of the new technology, such as to make it both has the general packaging function, but also has some special properties, to meet the special requirements of products and special environmental conditions.

Intelligent packaging is divided into intelligent packaging of functional materials, structural intelligent packaging, and information intelligent packaging:

Functional material intelligent packaging: by applying new intelligent packaging materials, improving and adding packaging functions to achieve and accomplish specific packaging purposes;

Structural intelligent packaging: by adding or improving partial packaging structure, the packaging has certain special functions and intelligent characteristics;

Information intelligent packaging: information that reflects the content of packaging and its internal quality and transportation and sales process is one of the most dynamic and promising packaging technologies.

It involves the preservation technology, water soluble film packaging technology, qr code technology, packaging technology, portable packaging technology, texture and structure innovation anti-counterfeiting technology, magnetic resonance (NMR) radio frequency security identification technology, food safety traceability solutions technology, etc.

The essence is the creative design and standard thought, he can in protecting consumers' rights and personal safety, protect the normal market order and convenient business electronically, develop new products consumption form will play its important role, has the extremely broad prospects for development.

What is the development trend of intelligent packaging?

Intelligent packaging is increasingly becoming the extension of product function, and become the carrier of the integration of innovative technology, used in almost all fields, including electronics, food, beverage, medicine, supplies and other industries.

The first generation of intelligent packaging technology is based on optical/visual identification and focuses on solving problems such as anti-counterfeiting, tracking and anti-theft through optical characteristics. The second generation of intelligent packaging technology will merge printing new technology such as electronics, RFID, flexible display, have affinity more goods and their packaging for humans, more actively presents the characteristics of the Internet of things.

According to a new report from Technavio, the global smart packaging market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 8% to more than $31 billion by 2019. The main service in the electronic packaging market will still be dominated by packaged consumer goods (CPG) with electronic functions, which will increase to 14.5 billion products in 10 years.

Currently has a number of mature application cases abroad, and established the corresponding industry to organize and guide the development of domestic intelligent packaging industry is still in its infancy, and no less foreign demand for user and application environment, in the next 2-3 years, intelligent packaging market will become the Internet of things industry a new blue ocean.

Mature application cases in the industry.

Intelligent packaging has powerful functions in protection, service, information and other fields, which makes it more and more widely used in medicine, food, daily chemicals, logistics and other fields. In addition to extending the shelf life of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other products, these smart packages bear the burden of increasing the traceability of products:

Food: indicates whether the food is spoiled (TTI technology), extending the freshness date;

Drugs: to ensure the quality of drugs, improve the accuracy and convenience of the medicine;

Other: inventory management, shopping orientation and interaction, anti-counterfeiting and brand protection, quality and safety, prevention of product change, and additional new functions.

Throughout the development trend of intelligent packaging industry, no matter from the terminal ZhongHu end demand or industry demand, proposes a huge intelligent packaging products demand and market expectations, "intelligent packaging" will become a printing and packaging industry development and industrial upgrading of core power, is also the leading printing and packaging enterprises will compete for the technical commanding heights!

China into much starker choices-and graver consequences-in phase, this phase is also the important mark of the manufacturing in China towards the big teams, information technology, biotechnology, new materials technology such as cross fusion, is causing a new round of technological revolution and industrial revolution. It can be imagined that in the future, with the coordinated development of multi-domain technology, smart packaging will have a large market.
