Intelligent packaging

To discuss your needs

Contact our experts

Intelligent packaging is packaging that informs the consumer of some aspect of the quality, nature or production history of the food. It can indicate whether its contents are the right temperature, or whether they remain fit to eat, for example. It can also indicate the conditions to which the food has been subject during its distribution and storage.

Intelligent packaging can also assist with traceability, tracking and record keeping through the food supply chain from harvest and manufacture of food and packaging materials to point of sale and beyond.

At Campden BRI, we have a wealth of experience in these issues, so whatever your product, give us a call so that we can help.
