Biometric-Activated Packaging to Offer Touch-to-Open Tech 

Did you know that more companies are offering biometrics not just for their products, but the packaging as well? With this type of packaging, it will open either through fingerprints, or facial recognitional and will only open during such recognition. This new, innovative way to help these items stand out is becoming more and more exciting, offering you some fun ways to make your facial recognition experience all the more fun. 

Tech Used 

You might wonder how biometric packaging works? Well, it involves some chips, which will read biometrics. These sensors scan for the correct biometrics. When presented, it will then open it up.   These chips tend to be more expensive than other types, so some companies might shy away in that sense. 

However, there are now seals which can be used as a one-time usage means.   After it’s been used, it can be implemented again.  good if you’re only shipping it one time, and want to make sure that the item gets to the correct customer, or if the item isn’t going to go through too many hands. 

Usage of This 

Some companies that benefit from this include prescriptions, because medications are a sensitive thing. with prescriptions, you’re able to keep the items safe from anyone who might try to improperly use them. Some have even added this as a way to discourage children from using them. 

Another one, is private deliveries, especially if you don’t want them getting in the wrong hands. With private deliveries, you’re able to get to the item without much change, and it will keep it safe.

Finally, corporate items, especially samples, use this type of biometric packaging. With these samples, you don’t want the wrong person to get into them, so with biometric-activated packaging, only those who are able to use this or qualified to open it are able to do so. 

The Advantages 

With this packaging, you’re getting next level privacy. It is very hard to copy most biometrics, so you’ll be able to keep these items under wraps. It’s good if the item is easily compromised, and if you don’t want the wrong eyes or ears to hear about this item. 

In the same way, it prevents most theft. A lot of this packaging adds a shield of privacy to such items, making it easier for one to keep it hidden away in a much better manner. Again, with more people trying to get into items that they should not be getting into, if you have a sensitive item that needs an extra layer of security, it is in your best interest to consider ruining this, for your own personal wellness and protective elements that are needed as well. 

Challenges and Possibilities 

The biggest challenge with biometrics is the cost. These are expensive, and if you don’t have the money for this it can cost a lot over time. Some companies starting out might not be able to have a full biometrics system in place. 

Another one is compatibility. That’s because some items might not be compatible with the sensors. Again, try and experiment with the different items that you have, and see if it will work for you.

But, more companies are jumping on adoption of these trends and packaging, so you might be able to find new ways to implement it. If you are someone interested in utilizing biometrics to open up and build new possibilities, then this is the way to go, and something in which you might wish to consider, especially when it comes to long-term packaging protection and health too.
