EU Machinery Directive Seminars – Food Safety Passport Training – Packaging Events from Campden BRI

For nearly 20 years the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association has been applying its involvement in both technical and regulatory matters, as they develop, to the benefit ofeducation and training within the industry. This makes available not only the pool of in-depth knowledge built up within the Association itself, but reflects also the strong links now enjoyed with research and academic establishments and constructive relationships with UK government and EU regulators

Packaging Events from Campden BRI

Interactive Packaging & Point of Sale Workshop: 1 July - FULL INFORMATION

Interactive Packaging & Point of Sale Workshop         1 July 2010    Places are limited and bookings are already coming in

New ways to interact with customers, gaining competitive advantage from technology developments

Interacting with customers in new ways and generating fresh excitement about your products – this is now possible as a result of two of the latest developments in technology. Printed Electronics allows low cost interaction - on packaging and at the Point of Sale.

Customers can be prompted to answer questions, make choices, or start animations, all of which will make your product stand out against your competition. In addition, the NFC (Near Field Communications) capability soon to be included in mobile phones will allow more sophisticated interactions, and the possibility of managing new relationships with customers as individuals, rather than merely members of anonymous groups.

This workshop will give hands-on demonstrations of what these two new technologies can bring, separately and together, along with practical ideas of how they can be deployed for competitive advantage, and the opportunity to network with the players who can bring it about.
