Expand market opportunity

Avery Dennison Pragmatic NFC Connect

NFC Connect redefines the parameters of connected packaging, unlocking item-level intelligence for mass-market products where traditional solutions are constrained by cost, supply chain and sustainability challenges.

Empowering sustainable customer innovation, it enables brands to unlock richer consumer experiences and drive deeper connections, from customer loyalty programs, product authentication and provenance, to digital product passports.

It’s particularly suited to fast-moving consumer goods – such as food and beverage, apparel, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
