What is printed electronics?

Printed electronics is a technology where electrically functional layers are formed by printing methods on various surfaces. This allows for the creation of thin, flexible, lightweight, and easily integrable electronic solutions.
Using functional inks, it is possible to manufacture:
  • RFID and NFC antennas
  • smart labels
  • flexible chains
  • printed sensors
  • heating elements
  • interactive packaging
  • security and authentication solutions

Our product range

Smart Labels

Smart Labels: From Printed Ink to Digital Interaction

One of the most interesting applications of printed electronics is smart labels. The presented demonstrative solution uses a printed RFID antenna, allowing the label to interact with a smartphone without a battery, without a screen, and without complex electronics. When the phone is brought close to the label, the physical object is linked to digital content.

Such a solution is relevant:

  • for smart packaging
  • for product authentication
  • for traceability
  • for user engagement
  • for identifying in the field of mobility

RFID antennas

RFID antennas and functional tags

Printed RFID antennas enable the creation of thin, flexible, and easily integrated identification solutions. They can be used in labels, packaging, security solutions, and other functional applications. The RFID antenna presentation also provides examples of how a printed antenna can be integrated into the back of a label or used in an interactive label solution with LED and NFC functionality.
