RFID Incorporated Boxes Launched

Packaging company HIDE-Pack and global systems integrator Domino Integrated Solutions Group have unveiled Smart Boxes - an integrated RFID packaging system which eliminates the need for paper labels.

The HIDE-Pack technology embeds the RFID inlay within the structure of the packaging, corrugated case or folding carton.

The layers of packaging adhesive encapsulating the HIDE-compliant inlay preserve the inlay's performance under detrimental conditions such as condensation resulting from cold storage and immersion in water.

HIDE-Pack general manager Paul de Blois says the technology is a low-cost environmentally friendly way of incorporating RFID into packaging.

"Looking at the RFID space from a supplier's or Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) manufacturer's point of view, the key to making RFID affordable is moving RFID back in the value chain into the manufacturing process of the package medium," de Blois says.

"HIDE-Pack is an environmentally-sustainable approach to RFID that reduces capital costs, improves labour productivity, maintains the package recyclability, and improves the reliability of the RFID tag."
