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.
INTELLIGENT  PACKAGING
• data  carriers intended  for  storage,  distribution,  and  traceability  purposes  –
to  make  the  information  flow  within  the  supply  chain  more  efficient;
• sensors allow  a  rapid  and  definite  quantification  of  the  analytes in  packed  
product;
• indicators  provide  more  convenience  and  inform  about  product  quality.  
2D  BARCODES

SENSORS  
Biosensor:  detect,  record  and  transmit  information  pertaining  to  biological

electronic  goods,  such  as  electronic  circuits,  displays,  sensors,  RFID,…..
PRINTED  ELECTRONICS
Integrated  smart  systems  are  built  from  different  components,  such  as  printed  
batteries,  printed  memory,  active  (transistors,  diodes,  logic  circuits,  display  
elements)  or  passive  (resistors,  capacitors,  conductors)  devices  integrated  by  
one  process  or  by  a  combination  of  separately  produced  components.
• Turbo  Tag™  RFID  Time  and  Temperature  
Monitoring  System
• ThinFilm RF  Temperature-­‐Tracking  Sensor  
System
FUNCTIONAL  INKS  
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.  
CONDUCTIVE,  SEMICONDUCTIVE,  DIELECTRIC  INKS
Uses:  RFID,  optoelectronic  devices,  transistors,  conductive  electrodes,  sensors,  
energy-­‐storage  devices.  
• semiconductive inks  composed  of  semiconducting  organic  polymers  in  
solvents,  inorganic  nanoparticles  suspended  in  carrier  fluids,  or  organic-­‐
inorganic  blends;  
• conductive  inks composed  of  conductive  organic  polymers  in  solvents,  
metallic  particles  suspended  in  binders  or  organic-­‐metallic  blends;
• dielectric  inks composed  of  organic  polymers  in  solvents,  organic  polymer  
thermosets  or  ceramic-­‐filled  organic  polymers.

CONDUCTIVE  INKS  
• Uses:  electroluminescent  displays,  sensors,  membrane  switches,  flexible  
circuits,  resistance  pads,  printed  heater  circuits,  additive  circuits,  etc.  
• Inks  conductivity:
• The  conductivity  of  ink  depends  on  the  amount  of  metal  filler  in  the  ink,  
size  of  the  particles,  percentage  of  binder  used,  uniformity/continuity  of  the  
printed  layer,  that  is  determined  by  the  printing  and  drying  process.  
CONDUCTIVE  INKS  
The  basic  constituent  of  a  conductive  inks  are  metallic  particles,  either  
nanoparticles  or  micron  size  particles  (flakes)  that  are  highly  conductive  (silver,  
gold,  copper,  nickel  or  platinum).

• electric  potential  (electrochromic).
PHOTOCHROMIC  INKS

from  one  color  to  another  color.  
THERMOCHROMIC  INKS  (TI)
On  the  basis  of  their  activation  temperatures:
• low  temperature  TI:  when  activated,  changes  from  clear  to  color,  used  on  
labels  and  packaging  to  indicate  refrigeration  of  drinks  or  food  products;
• high  temperature  TI:  when  activated,  changes  from  color  to  clear,  used  to  
alert  the  customer  to  a  safety  hazard  or  when  the  food  has  reached  
appropriate  temperate  for  consumption;
• body  temperature  TI:  is  touch  activated,  and  is  usually  used  for  interactive  
graphics  or  packaging.
