The future is digital
The future of the food industry is undoubtedly digital. Digital technologies will enable food and beverage manufacturers to tackle many of the challenges they face today such as:
- increasing monitoring of the entire value chain
- improving transparency and tracking each product individually
- improving quality control to reduce the risk of food safety issues
- connecting to consumers more effectively in new ways
- reducing waste and achieving true circularity
Tetra Pak? Connected Package
Digitalisation is changing the role of packaging. The Connected Package allows food and beverage producers to turn their packages into full-scale data carriers offering increased traceability, and value for each stakeholder in the entire value chain.
No longer is packaging only about product protection and functionality – it is about connectivity and unleashing unlimited possibilities.

Packages are rapidly transforming into channels for information and interaction
Packages are evolving into digital carriers of information. It began with the codified package with a printed code but with limited connectivity.
The connected package is the next step by combining our platform with the unique code printed on each package for end-to-end traceability and consumer engagement. In future, the intelligent package will become feasible based on a complete connection to the Internet of Things. This will enable packages and devices to talk to each other thus providing new levels of service and insights for customers and consumers.
