Additional Notes

Editorial Summary

Smart and connected packaging technologies — including QR codes, 2D barcodes, and other digital triggers — are increasingly explored as a way to deliver additional value through packaging, from consumer engagement to traceability and supply chain visibility. Adoption, however, remains uneven: many brands have piloted connected packaging initiatives but fewer have scaled them broadly, often because of difficulty demonstrating ROI that satisfies marketing, finance, and operations at once, integration complexity with existing packaging systems, and organizational alignment across functions with different objectives. This e-book explores where connected packaging is delivering measurable value, where it is struggling to scale, and how those outcomes are shaping future investment decisions. GS1 Sunrise 2027 adds a new element of urgency, since the infrastructure required for 2D barcode readiness is the same infrastructure that enables connected packaging applications.
