This document discusses intelligent packaging and functional inks for intelligent packaging. It describes how intelligent packaging uses indicators, sensors, and data carriers like 2D barcodes and RFID to monitor products and provide information. It provides examples of sensors that detect gases and biosensors, as well as different types of indicators for freshness, time-temperature exposure, and critical temperatures. The document also discusses printed electronics, functional inks, and examples of inks that are conductive, semiconductive, dielectric, and can change color for applications like packaging authentication and product tracking.

5. INTELLIGENT PACKAGING
Intelligent packaging is a packaging system that is capable of carrying out
intelligent functions (such as detecting, sensing, recording, tracing,
communicating, and applying scientific logic) to facilitate decision making to
extend shelf life, enhance safety, improve quality, provide information, and warn
about possible problems.
Intelligent packaging is an extension of the communication function of
traditional packaging and communicates to the consumer based on its ability to
detect, sense and record the changes in the products environment.

Printing inks in packaging are made to provide images and deliver certain
message, they can be spot colors, formulated especially for particular product,
or include some functionality, such as security features to protect from fraud, or
add some intelligent features to packaging.
Functional inks need to perform certain tasks, such as conduct or block electric
current, change color. They may possess electromagnetic, thermal, chemical,
optical properties.
Inks may be conductive, semiconductive, dielectric, thermochromic,
photochromic, magnetic or may have another targeted functionality.
