Smart Cosmetic Packages

Valmont Cosmetics' Packaging is Enhanced with NFC Tech from Thinfilm

— September 14, 2017 — Marketing
Valmont Cosmetics is setting itself apart as the first-ever cosmetics company to make use of Thinfilm’s near field communications (NFC) technology tags in its cosmetic packages.

For its anti-aging product collection, Valmont Cosmetics created an innovative package design that can be tapped with a consumer's smartphone to call up information about the brand, the product's ingredients, application instructions, as well as complementary products. As a result of using Thinfilm's SpeedTap tags in its product packaging, each of which has its own unique ID, Valmont Cosmetics is able to connect with consumers directly to inquire about their individual needs and provide tailored advice.

Smart packaging is now being introduced for a range of food and beverage products, but Valmont Cosmetics and Thinfilm are now setting a precedent for the possibilities of NFC-integrated technology across multiple industries.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Packaging - The integration of NFC technology in cosmetic packaging opens up opportunities for personalized consumer engagement and information retrieval.
2. Connected Products - By utilizing NFC tags, Valmont Cosmetics enables direct communication with consumers and the ability to provide tailored advice.
3. Enhanced Consumer Experience - The use of Thinfilm's NFC technology in cosmetic packaging allows consumers to access brand information, product details, and complementary product suggestions.
Industry Implications

2. Food and Beverage - The success of NFC-integrated technology in cosmetic packaging sets a precedent for smart packaging solutions in the food and beverage industry.
3. Technology - Thinfilm's NFC technology offers disruptive innovation potential for industries interested in exploring new ways to connect and engage with consumers.
