While AI has proven
In today's scenario, you hear a lot about these terms - Smart Packaging, Intelligent Packaging, Active Packaging & connected Packaging. So let's dive into these terms and how these packaging benefited consumers and Brands using this technology.
For example, In the packaging could indicate bacterial growth, leaky packaging, or temperature disruption would notice by the color change, In the pharmaceutical industry, intelligent drug packaging with built-in RFID chips, LEDs, and tiny loudspeakers can register the removal of pills and sound an alarm if they are taken incorrectly. Medication packaged with NFC chips allows customers to read package inserts and reorder medication using a smartphone.
Active Packaging: Active packaging” goes a step further than intelligent packaging to allow the package to interact with its contents in order to improve product shelf life or the quality of the contents during storage. It is also popular in Food & beverage Industry. Light-filtering materials, oxygen and ethylene absorbers, antimicrobial surface coatings, and moisture-regulating materials can be integrated into the packaging or added separately as an insert.
For example, active packaging may release antimicrobial agents to prevent bacterial growth when it senses that a product’s freshness is being compromised. Some beers packaged in plastic bottles contain oxygen absorbers in the screw caps that can extend the beer’s shelf life from three to six months. Film packaging with ethylene absorbers can absorb the ripening hormone ethylene while the food is being stored to ensure a longer shelf life.
Connected Packaging: Connected packaging isn’t limited to food and beverage products—it has applications in almost every retail product category, including toys, cosmetics, gaming, and apparel. In connected packaging applications, a connected device is attached or a special code is mentioned, which with Bluetooth or scan helps to consumers to get the information or the data.
For example, Mallya automatically captures injection data (dose, date, and time) and sends the information in real-time to a mobile app thanks to Bluetooth technology. Moreover, the reported information is guaranteed with a high level of reliability.
Connected packaging applications are gaining popularity with marketers due to their ability to create deeper relationships with customers to elevate brand loyalty and increase customer lifetime value.

The global fertilizer market is a huge market that has been divided into several sectors, for instance, specialty fertilizer, organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, etc., and each of them has a considerable market share. The Global Specialty Fertilizers market accounted for $34.65 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $66.56 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period.
Fertilizer Packaging Bags are made of ?
Polyethylene (PE) Bag
PE bag increasingly become the new favourite due to its many advantages suich Waterproof ,moisture proof upto 30% & design of anti-skid strip for steadier stacking helped many fertilizer manufacturers.
Bag made from PE particles is flexible, durable and tear-resistant, making it ideal for heavy-duty packaging applications. Moreover, PE bag has many useful features which makes it extremely popular among fertilizer
manufacturers.
PP Woven Bag
Polypropylene Woven Bag, PP woven sacks are all names of bag or package made of polypropylene particles. PP woven bag are produced by interweaving polypropylene tapes in two directions, they are known for their extra strength and durability in comparison to other bags. They are tough, breathable, cost-effective bags, ideally suited for packaging agricultural products like grains, pulses, seeds and sugar, as well as products as diverse as sand, fodder, chemicals, cement, metal parts, etc.
Such intertwined woven not only gives extra strength to the bag, but also allows air circulation through which gases produced by the fertilizer can be exhausted without worrying about the swell of the bag. In addition, the price of the bag is cheaper than other bags such as PE bag and flexible pouches. The strength and cost have made pp woven bag one of the most widely used fertilizer packaging solution for many fertilizer producers.
Kraft Paper Bag
Paper bag is the bag made of paper, usually kraft paper. Kraft paper is produced from chemical pulp produced in the kraft process. They have high elasticity and high tear resistance, designed for packaging products with high demands for strength and durability.
In terms of category, there are single layer and multiwall paper bags. The former type can be found in department store as gift bags and come in any colour. The latter type Multiwall paper sacks or shipping sacks are often used as shipping containers for bulk materials such as fertilizer, animal feed, sand, dry chemicals, flour and cement. Many have several layers of sack papers, printed external layer and inner plies. Some paper sacks have a plastic film, foil, or polyethylene coated paper layer in between as a water-repellant, insect resistant, or rodent barrier.
Similar to pp woven bag, kraft paper bag can also add an inner layer of film or inner bag made from polyethylene (PE) or Nylon. Nylon film has greater air barrier up to 100% so that adding an inner layer of Nylon is a perfect complementation to kraft paper who vulnerable to external contaminants.
As the name suggests, the kraft paper bag is the most eco-friendly packaging solution that can be fully recycled without doing any damage to the environment. Printing on kraft paper is said to be easier than other plastic bags as well as allowing more colours, clearer images printed on it.
Flexible Packaging
Flexible packaging is the dominating packaging products that covers 80% of the total packaging production capacity. However, what’s a flexible package exactly? According to the Flexible Packaging Association, “flexible packaging is any package or any part of a package whose shape can be readily changed.”, all kinds of bags, boxes, sets and packages made of paper, aluminium foil, fibre, plastic film and their composites are flexible packages.
Flexible packaging is also known as flexible pouches which means most of the bag is produced in small pouches rather than big sacks. Almost everything we see in a agricultural materials market packed in flexible pouches such as coffee, tea, candies, so on and so forth.
