Tetra Pak  (0.03 MB)

Tetra Pak has launched its connected packaging platform, which will transform milk and juice cartons into interactive information channels, full-scale data carriers and digital tools. ​

The connected packaging platform will bring new benefits to food producers, retailers and shoppers driven by the trends behind Industry 4.0, along with code generation, digital printing, and data management at its core. 

The new packaging platform will offer end-to-end traceability to improve the production of the product, quality control and supply chain transparency for producers. It will have the ability to track and trace the history or location of any product, making it possible to monitor for market performance and any potential issues. ​

For retailers it will offer greater supply chain visibility and real-time insights, enabling distributors to track stock movements, be alerted when issues occur, and monitor for delivery performance. ​

Shoppers will gain the ability to access vast amounts of information such as where the product was made, the farm that the ingredients came from and where the package can be recycled. ​

Ivan Nesterenko, VP, Cross Portfolio at Tetra Pak, says: “We are unlocking new opportunities for our customers to get more value from packaging than even before. No longer is it only about product protection and functionality, it is about connectivity. The future of packaging is undoubtedly digital: this launch is a step towards a truly intelligent package, and we are excited to collaborate with our customers on this journey.” ​

Tetra Pak has successfully completed pilots with its customers to test the new connected package and its performance in retail in Spain, Russia, China, the Dominican Republic and India, working with beverage, juice and milk producers. In Spain a customer increased their sales by 16% through the scan and win campaign. ​
