  • Smart Packaging & RFID

Connected packaging. Retail-ready RFID.

Two ways to make your packaging work harder: smart packaging that connects with consumers and reports back to you, and industry-leading Walmart and retail RFID compliance. One partner, both technologies.

Smart Packaging & RFID

Digital technology is changing what a package can do. It can talk to consumers, track itself through your supply chain, protect your product, and satisfy the RFID mandates retailers now require. We’ve done the hard work to make both easy.

Two technologies, one partner.

Smart Packaging

Packaging that talks back.

Smart packaging combines digital technology with the pack itself. QR codes, NFC tags, and dynamic content let your package connect directly with consumers, report back on inventory and supply chain movement, and help protect your product from counterfeiting and diversion.

We’ve invested in a wide range of flexible, robust smart packaging solutions and simplified the complexity into a few straightforward platforms, so adding intelligence to your packaging is easy.

  • Connect directly with consumers through QR, NFC, and dynamic content
  • Track inventory and gain supply chain visibility
  • Protect products against counterfeiting and diversion

RFID Compliance

Walmart RFID, handled.

EPC-enabled RFID uses radio frequency identification to give every item a unique digital identity. Walmart and a growing list of retailers now require RFID labels on incoming products, and the requirements, tagging, and approval processes are a lot to navigate.

ILLING is an industry leader in retail RFID compliance, with decades of collective experience and a network of contract labeling capabilities. We handle it from label design and inlay placement to validation, approval, and full data compliance, and get your program into compliance quickly.

  • Label design and RFID inlay placement
  • Validation, approval, and data support
  • Over-labeling or inlay integration into your base label
  • In-line or in-house, large or small batch

What it does

Three things your packaging can do.

Smart packaging and RFID can do a lot, but the payoff comes down to three outcomes. We help you decide which matter most for your product, then match the right technology to the goal.

Connect

Reach consumers directly. QR codes, NFC, and dynamic content turn your package into a channel to the people using it.

Track

See your product move. Smart packaging and item-level RFID give you inventory and supply chain visibility from line to shelf.

Protect

Guard what’s yours. Authentication and traceability help defend against counterfeiting and diversion, and underpin retail RFID compliance.

Common questions

Before you start.

The questions that come up most often. If yours isn’t here, that’s what the first conversation is for.

What is smart packaging?
Smart packaging combines digital technology with the package itself. Using QR codes, NFC tags, and dynamic content, your packaging can connect directly with consumers, report back on inventory and supply chain movement, and help protect your product. We simplify the technology into a few straightforward platforms, so it’s easy to add.
What smart packaging technologies do you offer?
The most common are QR codes, NFC (near-field communication), and dynamic on-pack content, used for consumer engagement, authentication, and supply chain tracking. The right mix depends on your goals, and we help you decide what fits.
Do you handle Walmart RFID compliance?
Yes. ILLING is an industry leader in Walmart and retail RFID compliance. We manage the full process, from label design and RFID inlay placement to validation, approval, and data compliance, and get your program into compliance quickly.
What is Walmart RFID, and why is it required?
Walmart and a growing list of retailers require suppliers to apply EPC-enabled RFID labels to incoming products. RFID gives each item a unique digital identity, which gives retailers better inventory accuracy in the store and a better experience for shoppers.
Can you add RFID to our existing label?
Yes. We can over-label your current packaging or integrate an RFID inlay directly into your existing base label, whichever fits your product and line best, with full application and data verification support.
Do you handle both large and small runs?
Yes. We support in-line and in-house application at both large and small batch sizes, so the program scales to your volume.
How do we get started?
Tell us about your product and what you want your packaging to do, whether that’s connecting with consumers, protecting your product, or meeting a retail RFID mandate. We’ll map out the right approach and next steps.
