One Amazing Packaging Idea from Siemens


Electronic Packaging

Wired magazine reports that Siemens is preparing a paper-thin electronic-display technology so cheap it could replace the everyday labels on disposable packaging, for everything from milk cartons to boxes of cereal.

"Siemens says, the technology could transform consumer-goods packaging from the fixed, ink-printed images of today to a digital medium of flashing graphics and text that displays prices, special offers or alluring photos, all blinking on miniature flat screens."
