5. INTELLIGENT PACKAGING
for Conagra by PTR Intelligent Packaging 5
• Allows for supply chain, package and
product formula changes because shelf
life to determined in the actual supply
chain and product
• Added value is in decreasing food waste
and allowing flexibility with shelf life
based on conditions at which the
product has been exposed
• QR codes have the IoP/IoT low
potential with changing web-based
delivery to consumers and supply chain
• NFC and RFID sensors have the most
potential when consumer interfaces
are integrated with track and trace
needed within the supply chain
• A balanced cost and benefit of the
technology in between the supply
chain and brand owner is needed

SENSORS THAT

TRACK AND TRACE AND
ENHANCED BRANDING
• Responsive Packaging (RP) senses,
communicates, and then acts to
extend the shelf life
• Sensors sense stimuli and then
release compounds to retard
degradative reactions
• Responses are be tailored for
internal or external stimuli such as
light, temperature, O2, microbial
growth, or moisture

6. PTR PERSPECTIVE
INTELLIGENT PACKAGING
• Intelligent packaging is shifting from a nice to do and promotional
marketing initiative to permanent role in packaging
• Consumer lack of appreciation for packaging and specifically packaging
can be best addressed by adding meaningful value to packaging
• The impetus for intelligent IoT/IoP enabled packaging is to add value to
packaging in the value chain
• Intelligent packaging uses the IoT/IoP to address multiple value
chain needs since cost and benefits are spread across the entire value
chain

29. KEY TAKEAWAYS: RECAP
• Intelligent and responsive packaging can improve sustainability, decrease
food waste and enhance the consumer experience
• Design for recycle, separation and accompanying identity technology will
improve collection and sorting of post-consumer packaging
• Food waste reduction involves wider value chain to meet consumer and
manufacturer needs
• CWI technology is moving ahead of traditional TTIs and freshness indicators
• Oxidation can be reduced via light responsive packaging, reversible
polymers, and application of hydrogels
• Microbial activity can be reduced via bioresponsive hydrogels, pH
responsive polysaccharides and biofilms
• Enhanced consumer experience can align with IoT to provide a rich brand
experience
