At this year's drupa there will therefore be a hot spot dedicated to the future of packaging. In Hall 3, Messe D\u00fcsseldorf has organised the touchpoint packaging (tpp) together with the European Association of Brand and Packaging Designers epda.

The technology makes it possible to obtain extensive information about product properties, sustainability, ingredients and more by scanning the label with a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>The HP Indigo 6800, Kurz DM-Jetliner and DM-Maxliner 3D printing and digital finishing machines are used to <strong>link the QR code with a 2-factor authentication procedure,<\/strong> so that consumers can receive feedback on the authenticity of the product after scanning. A unique and variable bee distribution on the label becomes visible on the smartphone. Thanks to the<strong> Comparison of position, orientation and format of the displayed bees<\/strong> the distribution on the packaging can be used to verify the authenticity of the product. This interactive approach increases security through a \u201eslot machine\u201c-like process that combines digital printing, digital finishing, security (features), track &amp; trace functions and consumer interaction.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"touchpoint packaging at drupa is the hot spot for the future of packaging.
