RFID Technology is an Important Tool for Intelligent Packaging Industry

With the continuous development of society, people pay more and more attention to the packaging of commodities, and the selection of commodities no longer just stays on the conventional information, but needs to display further information about the products. Under such a development trend, the original traditional packaging alone can no longer meet the requirements, and RFID smart packaging has emerged as the times require.

1. The development of applications of RFID technology

At present, the applications of RFID technology to packaging have emerged a very rich product type. Among them, the largest market segment is RFID information-based intelligent packaging, which is mainly used for product quality monitoring, authenticity and anti-counterfeiting, freight traceability, etc. It is conducive to industrial upgrading in all walks of life, and it is also conducive to protecting people's livelihood.

At present, RFID is combined with 100% wood fiber paper labels to provide a label solution that is plastic-free and recyclable. By combining RFID with paper labels, the manufacturing process becomes more flexible. RFID label packaging can be recycled together with paper and cardboard materials, which is very environmentally friendly.

2. The applications of RFID technology promote the development of information-based smart packaging

The rapid development of the smart packaging industry provides new development opportunities for traditional packaging and printing companies. In the future, with the development and deep integration of innovative technologies such as printed electronics, RFID, and flexible display, especially the rapid development of RFID technology applications, it will bring more benefits to the development of smart packaging and the development of enterprises in the industry.

According to the difference in function and technology, smart packaging can be roughly divided into three types: functional material type, functional structure type, and information type, and information type is the type with the largest proportion of the three. And with the development of science and technology and the popularization of Internet technology, the development of RFID label smart packaging is getting faster and faster. It is mainly used to detect the safety of the product in the package, the internal quality and the information of the product in the transportation and sales process.

Through the evolution of smart packaging, it can be found that the development of information-based smart packaging has gone through one-dimensional code, two-dimensional code to the current multi-dimensional code, RFID, NFC, EPC and other high-tech processes, which are widely used in logistics, warehousing, and anti-counterfeiting, traceability, mobile payment and other fields.

Taking the application in food safety as an example, smart packaging can detect food quality, identify the authenticity of the product, and achieve the traceability function of the product, which can protect the rights and interests of consumers to a large extent. In addition, due to the high unit price of wine products, various counterfeiting methods have emerged one after another, such as recycling old packaging, forging bottles, bottle caps, and even anti-counterfeiting labels. In this case, the application of RFID technology is the advantages in the anti-counterfeiting traceability scene of alcohol are naturally highlighted.
