Printed electronics are circuits and sensors printed on everyday paper, proprietary technology that can detect anything from temperature to humidity to light. This smart sensor packaging brings sensors to normal, low-cost packages. One can see if a package was tampered with along the route, know exactly which conditions the package passed through, and whose hands touched it along the way.
An example of the high value this technology allows is in the case of vaccines and medications. Printed electronics packaging technology ensures safety, trust and peace of mind, that the contents were kept within certain temperature ranges, and the boxes were unopened from origin to receiver.
