Sealed Air (SEE) & Digimarc Team Up for Smart Packaging
Read MoreHide Full Article
Sealed Air Corporation (SEE - Free Report) and Digimarc Corporation (DMRC - Free Report) have joined forces to bring product digitization to markets like food proteins, eCommerce fulfillment, industrials, and consumer goods through smart packaging. Product digitization enables brands to maximize the value of a package to fulfill ever-growing consumer demands for authenticity and sustainability. Product digitization drives operational improvements by highlighting a product's journey through the supply chain.
Sealed Air has invested approximately $100 million in digital transformation, including its most recent development — a digital packaging brand prismiq that was launched in April. It is a first of its kind, capable of wide web, high-speed, full-color (including metallics and invisible ink) and double-sided digital printing capabilities on flexible and shrinkable materials. This state-of-the-art digital printing technology is expected to create game-changing value for customers, enabling touchless automation both in its facilities and customers’ operations, in sync with the company’s aim to further sustainability for packaging.
SEE’s prismiq will allow the customer to see inside the package with the help of a smartphone. Through the SEE Mark, multiple data signatures can be transmitted to the phone (QR, bar codes, RFID, recycling codes, date and time stamps, etc.), thus enhancing the human experience. The combination of Sealed Air’s prismiq and packaging experience with Digimarc's leading product digitization platform and watermarking technology is anticipated to provide the industry with a complete end-to-end smart packaging solution.
Through smart packaging, each product can be given a unique digital identity in the product cloud. This will help brands realize the benefits of product digitization, such as ensuring a product's authenticity, improving a product's circularity, powering a smarter supply chain, and opening an owned-media channel for direct-to-consumer engagement and the delivery of contextualized experiences. Meanwhile, the brands will receive invaluable, real-time data intelligence to drive future sales, marketing, and other key business strategies.
