Smart packaging solutions

AIPIA and Packaging South Asia are pleased to announce a new virtual Smart Packaging event for India and South Asia. The stand-alone event will focus on some of the critical issues facing India’s burgeoning Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical sectors – Sustainability/Food Waste & Food Safety/Secure Supply Chains/Consumer Engagement.
We will gather some of the leading practitioners in these areas, offering solutions that can impact waste and extend shelf life, counterfeiting, market diversion, tracking, and forging closer and more dynamic links with consumers. Leading Brand Owners will discover the latest trends and how they can work cost-effectively to benefit their products and build trust with customers.

Delegates will join in ‘round tables’ for one-to-one or shared discussions with our sponsors and speakers. This is the FIRST event of its kind for the Indian and South Asian markets, driven by a powerful combination of AIPIA’s decade of expertise in all aspects of Smart Packaging and IPPStar’s and Packaging South Asia’s local market knowledge and networks.
The program so far has sessions such as Smart Packaging in the Supply Chain, Condition Monitoring, Dealing with the Pandemic, Smart Packaging for Food Safety & Security, Smart Packaging Tech for Authentication, Consumer Messages – Explaining Sustainability thru Packaging, Recycling and Circularity… How Digital Fits In, Smart Materials, Augmented Reality and the Next Step in Smart Packaging and using RFID/NFC/QR Codes to Enhance the Consumer Experience.

The Virtual Congress will also issue a Brand Challenge in advance from one of the Indian consumer product companies seeking a solution for brand security, sustainability, condition monitoring, customer engagement, or any area where technology and packaging can offer a solution. The brand owner will present the Brand Challenge, and in a later session, the winners will present their solution.
