Printed Intelligence in Packaging: Current and Potential Applications of Nanotechnology

Back from Columbus. Very interesting Symposium on Nanomaterials for Flexible Packaging. Here is my speech :

Printed Intelligence in Packaging

Take home…Think outside the box

Demands on packaging are continually changing: increases in functionality, improvements in economics and meeting environmental and legislative measures.

• Nano-printed intelligent packaging is the results of “Thinking Outside the Box”.
• Nano printed intelligence has potential to influence the packaging sector greatly, as it fits perfectly with the food safety strategy and brand protection

Take home…Nano-Printed Intelligence

• Printing technologies enable cost-effective, mass production of smart labels integrated in flexible packaging
• Much of the technology is still confined to the lab
• Consumer acceptance of the use of printed nano-materials in packaging is very important and will be greatly dependent on the demonstrated benefits and safety of the new packaging products

Think Big…Think Nano!!!
