Multi-Color Partners With Talkin’ Things
Flexo Market News
I NTERNET D IRECTORY
Multi-Color Corporation has formed a strategic part- nership with Talkin’ Things, a smart packaging sys- tem. The system enables brands to communicate with consumers, protect against counterfeiting, and track products throughout the supply chain. With this agreement, MCC and Talkin’ Things have established a strategic partnership to raise awareness among brand owners about the rapidly growing trend of connecting products to the Internet of Things (IoT) through packaging. A long-term agreement has been signed to provide joint smart packaging solutions like NFC/RFID, Augmented Reality, IoT sensors and anti- theft protection based on EAS technology. As a result of this cooperation, MCC and Talkin’ Things are strategically focused on connectivity and joining the new world of smart packaging. The old world of traditional packaging was characterized with loyalty to the distribution channels, purchasing data from retailers, counterfeiting and food waste is- sues and unchangeable promotions within one label. The new world, based on smart packaging, offers dig- itally extended labels protected against counterfeit- ing and refilling, real-time promotions management, direct communication with end customers, personal- ized mobile promotions and rewarding real cus- tomers directly through the product, which increases loyalty to the brand. FINAT To Host Technical Seminar In Barcelona FINAT will be hosting its biennial Technical Semi- nar, March 7-9, in Barcelona, Spain. Andy Hobsbawm, Founder and Chief Marketing Of- ficer of IoT smart products platform EVRYTHNG, will give his insight into the technical side of the way smart products can transform brand relationships, business operations, and service experiences. He will also explore how labels and packaging are the digital bridge between the physical product and a cloud- powered universe of real-time data and software ap- plications. This is just one of the many topics that will be dis- cussed at this year’s event. Others include the impact of end-to-end connectivity on optimizing the produc- tion chain, the gains possible with workflow automa- tion, the ways of tackling issues in digital automation and the importance of real-time data collection and communication.
