Intelligent packaging refers to the incorporation of advanced technologies such as mechanical, electrical, electronic, and chemical capabilities into packaging through innovative thinking. This enables packaging to serve both general packaging functions and offer specific features to meet special product requirements and environmental conditions. This encompasses techniques like preservation technology, water-soluble film packaging technology, QR code technology, packaging aesthetics and structural innovation, portable packaging technology, anti-counterfeiting technology, RFID anti-counterfeiting identification technology, and secure traceability solutions

Smart packaging can be applied to almost every product application area, including electronics, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, household goods, and more. Smart packaging is increasingly becoming an extension of product functionality.
