Traditional packaging will soon begin to add electronic functions to their packages and labels. That’s because Consumer Packaging Groups (CPGs) have begun to understand how these new technologies will enhance the consumer experience and drive data acquisition for retailers by providing valuable information, including buying habits.
The adoption of printed electronics of packages and labels by CPGs will also drive enormous volumes which are significantly higher than traditional OEM driven electronic production.
While there is great excitement for printed electronics on packaging, certain hurdles remain, especially the separation between traditional manufacturing infrastructures in printed electronics and consumer packaging. Bridging the technological gap between CPGs and converters will require an evolution of traditional manufacturing infrastructures and strengthened support for both converters and CPGs.
