In 2025, the world of packaging is being redefined by Connected Packaging— and not just in looks, but in function. Brands like Appetite Creative are leading the way, transforming static labels into interactive brand experiences that deliver value, insight, and engagement. Gone are the days when packaging simply displayed a logo; now, it connects, informs, and even entertains.
What Is Connected Packaging?
Connected Packaging links physical products to digital experiences using QR codes, NFC tags, and smart labels. These interactive elements allow brands to:
-
Deliver real-time, personalised content
-
Share location-based messages
-
Launch gamified experiences
-
Track engagement and gather valuable first-party data
At Appetite Creative, we specialise in creating connected packaging experiences that are fun, functional, and fully aligned with your brand goals.
Real-World Examples
Here’s what Connected Packaging can actually do:
-
Hydration reminders: Scan a juice carton and receive prompts to stay hydrated throughout the day.
-
Localised offers: Scan a coffee cup and unlock a discount at a nearby café ☕.
-
Music experiences: A bottle scan launches a custom playlist 🎶 for your mood or moment.
-
Temperature monitoring: Smart milk bottles notify you if your fridge is too warm ❄️ — helping reduce food waste.
We’ve seen firsthand how these experiences delight consumers and drive deeper engagement.For more details on the tech behind it, check out: Cases – Appetitecreative
