What is that?

Intelligent packaging is an emerging technology that uses the communication of the package or material to facilitate decision making to achieve the benefits of enhanced safety and quality.

How about the Artibal’s concept?

In ARTIBAL´s concept, the material is included in the packaging as a coating in the outer/inner part of the material, instead of being introduced in the structure of the polymer.

What do you have for me?

As it is today, we can provide a range of varnishes that change colour in different temperature intervals when they are heated or cooled. They are based in the use of thermochromic pigments, and let users know when the surface or the content (for packaged food) is at the correct temperature to be used or is stored under safe temperature conditions. The colour and temperature are selected by the Client.

Also…

We are working in UV-active coatings for security/quality control. Basically, the ink and/or colour are made visible by viewing under ultraviolet light, and therefore provide extra-protection against forgery and similar illicit acts.
