Together they're central to a serialization program that has given more than a billion packages a unique, traceable identity.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/screenshot-2026-06-11-at-120655-am.4mHFoYvKzN.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Antares Vision Group calls it the trade-off triangle: 99% scanning accuracy, sub-second throughput, and consumer-grade hardware. Those three requirements that typically require picking two. The project delivered all three, finishing at 98.7% accuracy and a 0.55-second average scan time on Zebra devices.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/screenshot-2026-06-11-at-120914-am.9lhEgHnpP5.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The QR code on a Driscoll's clamshell connects every point in the journey, from the farm where it was harvested, to the store shelf, to a consumer's taste-and-rate survey, to actionable quality data. The scan is the thread.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/screenshot-2026-06-11-at-120854-am.W5ZbhTKtYw.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70With a proprietary QR code, a consumer scan flows only into Driscoll's internal systems. GS1 Digital Link turns the same scan into a universal data carrier, accessible to warehouse, logistics, retail, and consumer touchpoints without custom integration.https://www.packworld.com/trends/package-design/article/22968451/bobs-red-mill-refreshes-packaging-to-sharpen-shelf-navigationPackaging Worlden2026-06-11T13:00:00.000ZBob's Red Mill Refreshes Packaging to Sharpen Shelf Navigationhttps://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/2026-brm-newlooksamequality-beforeafter.wwFZEQtmNL.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The updated packaging (right) features a simpler and bolder logo, a custom typeface, and an updated color palette.https://www.packworld.com/sustainable-packaging/reusable-returnable/article/22968668/new-symbol-identifies-packaging-designed-for-reuse-systemsPackaging Worlden2026-06-10T20:02:44.000ZNew Symbol Identifies Packaging Designed for Reuse Systemshttps://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/symbol-web.bBeGcNLbSu.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The new universal reuse symbol, developed through PR3’s Rebrand Reuse initiative, is designed to identify packaging and infrastructure that are part of systems for collection, washing, and reuse.https://www.packworld.com/trends/contract-packaging/article/22968467/portland-copacker-doubles-production-with-single-data-platformPackaging Worlden2026-06-09T13:00:00.000ZPortland Co-packer Doubles Production With Single Data Platformhttps://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/plex-totoyetsu-preview-bcp-15.73Ai7teePx.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70PBC’s consolidation of its technology landscape into one connected platform gave every department access to the same real-time operational data.https://www.packworld.com/trends/package-design/article/22968490/thepackhub-loyd-grossman-brand-introduces-tamperevident-seal-for-sauce-edmunds-cocktails-uses-neck-sleeve-for-bottled-cocktails-and-vibra-energia-launches-flexible-pouches-for-automotive-lubricantPackaging Worlden2026-06-08T13:00:00.000ZLoyd Grossman Brand Introduces Tamper-Evident Seal, Edmunds Cocktails Uses Neck Sleeve for Bottled Cocktails, and Vibra Energia's Flexible Pouches for Automotive Lubricanthttps://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/vibra.16hpNm9Ok5.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The innovation replaces traditional rigid plastic bottles with a lightweight flexible structure, achieving a reported 65% reduction in plastic usage.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/loyd-grossman.fd9oOM5VaP.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70A tamper-evident vertical seal runs from the lid down to the jar body, ensuring product integrity.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/edmunds-cocktails.uql1djmsiU.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The neck sleeves are used across various bottle formats within the portfolio and are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing labeling and bottling processes.
