Definitions
- the present invention relates to smart packaging, in particular to integrated smart packaging for beverage, especially suitable for carbonated beverage, in particular beer-integrated smart packaging.
- smart packaging incorporates features that indicate or communicate product status or changes, environmental status or changes, or other information. It is a dynamic and preferably active extension of the static and passive communication function of traditional packaging, and communicates information to the consumer based on its ability to sense, detect, or record external or internal changes in the product's environment.
- Smart packaging systems provide health and safety of the product for the consumer and also monitor the condition of packed beverages to give information about shelf life and regarding the quality of the beverage during transport and storage.
- indicators and sensors are used instead of time consuming, expensive quality measurements for improving the shelf life and providing beverage safety.
- smart packaging system indicators give information about product quality by surrounding conditions and head space gases of packagings, also indicators can be attached to the packaging surface or integrate to packagings which are improved for determining metabolite residue formed during storage. Temperature, microbial spoilage, packaging integrity, physical shock, freshness of the packed product can be controlled.
- US2015307245 directed to a wine capsule that is configured to be attached to a beverage container and to provide a user with information relating to the temperature history of the beverage.
- the data logger includes at least one energy storage component (e.g., one or more capacitors), an energy harvester, a temperature sensor, at least one processor, at least one first memory, and at least one wireless communicator.
- the energy harvester harvests ambient electromagnetic energy.
- the wireless communicator is configured to transmit the stored information to a personal computer, a smartphone or tablet, or a dedicated reader device which is configured to communicate with and receive information from the wireless communicator.
- smart packaging that permit amongst others tracking of purchases, inventory control, automatic re-ordering, and assessment of tampering, packaging breeching etc.
- smart packaging containing lights, sound production, different types of sensors and corresponding sensory inputs, smart electronics, and interaction between humans, smart devices, vending machines, coupled with wireless communication, results in enhanced and personalized experience for the consumer.
- point of purchase personalized advertising inducements, prizes, and a game-like environment can integrate at various psychological levels to positively reinforce brand loyalty and promote purchases.
- the smart packaging described in WO2015147995 contains electronics that can enable a user / purchaser to interact with the packaging and cause actions to happen either on the packaging itself or on a smart device like a smart phone or computer or a vending machine, or communicate or cause communication with a website where a data base might reside.
- a soda bottle or can or bag of chips can have the capability of being touched to a smart phone, having a code read, and the smart phone can take one or more actions based on the type of product within its proximity.
- the smart packaging includes at least one battery and/or energy storage element and/or energy receiving element; an element configured to store information; an element configured to sense being touched; an element configured to display information and/or an element configured to generate light; an element configured to receive and/or transmit information; and circuitry electrically one or more elements of the packaging to one another.
- An aspect that has been neglected in smart packaging as described in WO2015147995 is to integrate smart packaging technology within the existing reality of today including today's industrial packaging processing and their application, i.e. the aspect of integrating intelligent technologies up to the level of industrial processing of for example a beverage can, and the product specifications, and raw materials involved has been neglected. Smart packaging has always been described without efficient implementation of its manufacturing in industrial processing been taken in account.
- WO2015147995 does not address the functionalities specifically associated and required with the content of said packaging, i.e. carbonated beverages, in particular beer.
- an underlying objective is to provide for a smart packaging which can communicate time and temperature history of the carbonated beverage such as beer to ensure optimum maturation, proper aging, and to avoid misuse or mishandling.
- Another example of an underlying objective is to provide for a smart packaging which communicates the state of beverages within the packaging, either visually, either by illumination, either by sound, or haptic experiences, i.e. in case of carbonated beverages, such as beer, reaching ideal consumption temperature vs beverage type is communicated.
- Another very important objective of smart packaging according to the present invention is to reduce the production cost, even to the point where it will be cost-effective to put intelligent features and communication means on an inexpensive product, and in particular on disposable products.
- the present invention is directed to a smart metal, glass, paper-based, wood-based, or plastic packaging according to claim 1.
- the present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a smart packaging according to claim 7.
- smart packaging in accordance with the present invention offers an extensive range of intelligent functionalities in packaging for beverages, integrated up to the level of industrial processing, which can be used for consumer engagement and brand enhancement. It can amongst others also be used for proof of product authenticity and origin, tamper evidence and even further to source and delivery tracking and supply chain optimization.
- smart packaging according to the present invention may drive down the cost of smart packaging to produce a smart and connected product to the point where it will be cost-effective to put intelligent features and communication means on an inexpensive product. Therefore, in a first embodiment, the present invention provides a smart metal, glass, paper-based, wood-based, or plastic packaging according to claim 1.
- the smart packaging may be primary of secondary.
- a structural component of a smart primary packaging for beverage is understood as a material component which is necessary to the packaging for functioning as a beverage container, i.e. for enabling the packaging to contain a beverage or to be transported, more specifically for functioning as a carbonated beverage container, and in particular for functioning as a beer container.
- a structural component of a smart secondary packaging for beverage is understood as a material component which is necessary to the packaging for holding primary packaging for beverage.
- a structural component of a smart secondary packaging for beverage is understood as being a component or material layer offering a contribution to enable the primary packaging to be transported.
- a structural component of the packaging is an essential component of the actual sensory perceptible output and it must have the necessary material characteristics required for proper functioning of the sensory perceptible output.
- testing material changing color upon detecting contamination in the beverage is the inner surface of the beverage container's base and/or rim and/or sidewall, and wherein the base and/or rim and/or sidewall merely serves as a substrate for the testing material.
- the structural component is a component which is essential for the proper functioning of the sensory perceptible output and which is inherently already present in the packaging as is before the output is fully constituted thereon. Consequently, it would not be possible to integrate at least partially the process of constituting the sensory perceptible output in the manufacturing of a packaging which misses that specific component (specific material layer) because it is necessary for the functioning of the sensory perceptible output.
- Both the smart packaging and the sensory perceptible output have a structural component in common, i.e. at least one necessary material layer included in the structure of the packaging, or in the structure of a part of the packaging, and not serving merely is a decorative layer serves as a necessary component of the sensory perceptible output.
- the manufacturing of the sensory perceptible output may be at least partially integrated in the manufacturing of the smart packaging, resulting in reduced material cost, reduced production time, and in general reduced production cost, even to the point where it will be cost-effective to put intelligent features and communication means on an inexpensive product, and in particular on disposable products.
