Functional Packaging
Today's packaging scenario and requirements are changing fast. New printed electronic components, materials, etc enable new functional properties to the package: e.g. changing text, display or sound with the help of a small power source.
Among these developments, the "Packaging of the Future" is expected to do more than just contain and protect: The role for authenticity of the package is becoming even more important, at the same time package is seem to have a growing impact to final buying decision. By embedding a thin and flexible SoftBatteryTM with a printed display or sound element, value-added authenticity capability, light and sound can be incorporated direct into package. SoftBattery™ can also be a power source to the next generation smartcards also known as "powered cards". These cards work by integrating a thin and flexible battery into the plastic card (like credit cards or security cards). These cards may include one-time pass code authentication possibilities or identification codes. In summary SoftBattery provides a suitable power source for e.g.:
- functional package
- greeting card
- authentication of package
- powered cards
