Appetite Creative, Domino Release Connected Packaging Survey Creative technology studio Appetite Creative, in partner- ship with Domino Printing Services, released results from its third annual connected packaging survey. The research found sustained interest over the last 12 months, with 82 percent of those surveyed stating they have used connected packaging, compared to over four- fifths (81 percent) from the survey released in 2023, and over half (54 percent) in 2022. The barriers to using connected packaging have changed year-on-year with technology knowhow missing (15 percent), unsure how to handle the data (15 percent), poor application knowledge (12 percent) and lack of readi- ness (12 percent) listed as the key concerns. Only 9 percent stated that connected packaging wasn’t a business requirement for this year, showing fluctuating business priorities when compared to 7 percent in the 2023 survey. Connected packaging is considered important to in- form product and marketing decisions (16 percent), along- side direct interaction with customers (15 percent), data collection (15 percent) and educating customers (13 per- cent). Connected packaging being an environmentally sustainable way to connect with and educate customers lagged behind at 11 percent.
