Smart packaging with built-in NFC functions and other offerings to be showcased at international event for luxury product packaging

Tokyo – Toppan, a global leader in communication, security, packaging, décor materials, and electronics solutions, and Toppan Europe GmbH (Toppan Europe) will participate in Luxe Pack Monaco 2021, the premier trade show for creative packaging, from September 27 to 29.

As consumer behavior increasingly shifts to the digital realm, businesses are looking for ways to optimize services by making the most effective use of customer touchpoints that are diversifying due to the ubiquity of digital devices. Smart packages in particular are generating significant interest. Such packages are equipped with ID devices, such as QR Code1 or NFC2 tags, that can be scanned by consumers’ smartphones to enable interactive communication.

Toppan and Toppan Europe provide comprehensive smart packaging solutions to European and global markets, supporting the creation of customer touchpoints and enabling businesses to provide optimized services.

Under the theme of Make It Connected, at Luxe Pack Monaco, Toppan will showcase a cloud-based ID authentication platform that creates customer touchpoints and makes the supply chain visible, products based on a concept fusing digital IDs with packaging, and a range of ID devices, including NFC tags that give digital IDs to individual products.

Main solutions on show
