NFC technology can significantly enhance the value of packaging by connecting the brand owner and the consumer to the “Internet of Everything”. NFC is the overwhelmingly preferred technology over competing alternatives such as Bluetooth Beacons and QR codes. It allows for a multi dimensional brand experience while QR codes only allow a single level consumer experience. Curtis Packaging is working with the world’s leading technology providers in the NFC arena to take this technology to infinite levels.
