As a pilot project, a total of 300,000 different articles from three styling brands were linked together via NFC tags within a year. These items are available in 35 different countries under the name \u201eIndola #SimplySmarter\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>The range is aimed at professional hairstylists and customers alike. If you want to apply the partially invisible, partially visible <strong>NFC tags<\/strong> with their smartphone, they are taken to a customised website with product information, how-to videos from celebrity ambassadors and a regularly updated Instagram profile. Especially via the <strong>Hashtag \u201e#SimplySmarter\u201c<\/strong> Instagram page, hairdressers around the world can network with each other and inspire each other.<\/p>\n<p>The NFC markings also make it possible to check the authenticity of the products. Each individual item is serialised. Its authenticity can therefore be checked using the unique number. Henkel hopes that this will provide advantages in the fight against counterfeit products as well as a more precise analysis of the flow of goods and grey markets.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-1240597240\"><div id=\"packa-2198921802\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>\u201eInternet of Things\u201c gains momentum<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Indola smart packaging solution<\/strong> was developed in co-operation with the label manufacturer \u201e<strong>all4labels<\/strong>\u201c and the Internet of Things (IoT) provider \u201eGoodsTag\u201c.
