We present some of the most intriguing stories that surfaced in 2025. From pharmaceutical packaging to foodservice packaging to the shipment of perishable goods, track-and-trace technology plays a critical role, as the following stories illustrate.

The eWave and Carrier eWave UHF RFID tag allows greater versatility and sustainability in the food and beverage sector while optimizing asset management and streamlining supply chains.

New show features include the FlexPack@Labelexpo which will showcase short run, added-value flexible packaging, including all the ancillary equipment, thermal lamination, pouching equipment, materials, and coatings required to enter this demanding market.

Returning to Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, from September 10-12, the biennial show promises hundreds of live demonstrations, new show features, a one-day conference program and more. 

NFC-enabled platform also honored in Accessibility Category for providing life-saving information for the visually impaired.

Smart packaging is developing rapidly. A major factor driving the growth of the smart packaging market is increasing demand for packaging that indicates and maintains product quality throughout the supply chain.

Active and intelligent packaging platforms serve different roles. Active packaging acts directly with the packaged product by interacting with it chemically or biologically. It has an effect on the product in the pack to extend shelf life, maintain quality and inhibit microbial or fungal growth, or it provides information about the condition of a product.

As hospitals, labs and entire supply chains adopt RFID technologies, they become smarter. Smart labeling provides another layer of visibility, efficiency and, ultimately, patient safety to the healthcare industry.
