Connected packaging: a key enabler in the next data-driven revolution 

Connected packaging is unlocking a powerful new stream of consumer data.
A young woman looking at a smartphone in her hand with a green illustration of her smartphone’s screen is next to her face. On this screen, there are three selected checkboxes reading ‘Origin Story’, ‘Ingredients’ and ‘Certifications’ as well as a piece of text at the bottom reading ‘Screen-reader enabled’. In front of her, there is a packet with a label that reads ‘Scan for Trust’.

QR codes on product packaging are increasingly scanned at the point of use, offering brands unprecedented insight into consumer behaviour. By analysing how consumers interact with content—whether it’s recipes, how-to guides, recycling tips, or repurchase links—brands can better understand product groupings and shopping patterns. This insight extends beyond a single transaction, retailer, or purchase occasion, creating new opportunities for targeted marketing and personalization. 

At CEC-HQ, our technologies and people make it easy and fast for brands to set-up and scale Connected Packaging, turning data into actionable insights that improve engagement and sales. By leveraging these insights, brands can deliver highly relevant experiences that convert consumer interest into desire and sales. What we’re witnessing today is just the beginning of the next data-driven revolution

With #Sunrise2027 set to transform retail—where GS1 digital link-enabled QR codes will be scanned at the point of sale—and with a raft of incoming regulatory requirements on the horizon, brands have a unique opportunity to stay ahead. The time to start building that pool of valuable consumer data insights is now.
