Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels

Living Packets Unveils Next-Gen Smart E-Commerce Packaging

— April 7, 2022 — Business
Living Packets, a Berlin-based startup specializing in innovative packaging solutions, released a sustainable and re-usable alternative to traditional cardboard boxes dubbed The Box. In particular, the new technology is geared towards e-commerce businesses looking to implement eco-friendly delivery options.

The Box is made from recyclable expanded polypropylene and features a unique E-ink display, which is used to replace the need for a single-use delivery label. Last year, the company rolled out an upgraded version of the product that comes equipped with an integrated camera that allows customers and retailers to see inside their orders and ensure that nothing has been damaged.

In addition, the new version of product features a unique sensor system that is able to monitor the package's inside temperature, as well its shock and motion information. Finally, the second generation box also comes with a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing delivery drivers and receivers to communicate without needing to be face-to-face.
