Candy wrappers, wine bottles, and shoe boxes will be enhanced with direct connections to landing pages and technology to encourage customer engagement. Framed within the broader idea of the Internet of Things, the Internet of Boxes supports the idea that every physical package ought to have a complementary digital footprint.
On a small package, our printed electronics can convey or give access to extra information that wouldn’t otherwise fit in the space available. Our Intelligent Mann Materials Packaging can also link to more information about ingredients – where they’re from, how they’re produced – to motivate on-spot purchases, or connect users to installation instructions or service guides at the point of use. Smart packages can also create a stronger bond with the purchaser, linking to special offers, invitations to brand-related social communities and rewarding loyalty.
But while online channels can analyze clicks, behaviors, preferences and search entries very well, the same can’t be said of most brick and mortar retail stores. Plus, once products leave the stores they came from, a retailer’s visibility into how, where and when those products are being used ends on the spot. With Mann Materials Intelligent Packaging and Intelligent Data, we are able to not only analyze customer behavior and interactions, but also enrich customer data such as address, social media profiles and email.

Neckhanger labels invites consumers to tap the front of the bottle to access a variety of offerings, including music, recipes and a contest.
When a bottle has gone to the retailer, a brand loses insight from that point on. They don't know who each buyer is, how and where the product is purchased, or how it is being enjoyed. Our intelligent bottle packaging enables brands to gain huge insight into their end users and get a lot closer to them.
