Smart Box is smart packaging idea. . .

The Canadian packager says the RFID-enhanced packaging is a dramatic improvement over barcodes. The chip does not need to be in the reader's sightline to be read—vastly improving productivity and efficiency. Additionally, the boxes are 100% recyclable, and the RFID device runs in a passive mode, only using energy when activated by a radio signal.
