What's the cost premium for NFC/smart packaging?

NFC tags add $0.15-0.50 per unit depending on tag type and volume. Serialized QR codes add approximately $0.02-0.05 per unit. The ROI from reorder conversion and counterfeit prevention typically delivers 5-10x return.

Do I need any technical infrastructure?

No. The entire tech stack — NFC programming, QR serialization, blockchain anchoring, and analytics dashboard — is managed by us. You receive packaging that just works.

What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?

The EU PPWR mandates that by 2026, all packaging sold in the EU must provide digital access to material composition, carbon footprint, recyclability, and disposal instructions. Our DPP-ready packaging meets these requirements with a single scan.

How does blockchain authentication work?

Each package receives a unique serialized identifier anchored to a public blockchain. When customers scan, they verify the package against the immutable blockchain record. Counterfeit packages fail verification instantly.
