CHILLED PACKAGING
LCR Hallcrest’s thermochromic inks can create Smart or intelligent packaging by the addition of temperature activated labels or thermochromic inks printed directly onto packaging, as a single temperature point, or in "traffic light" form.
Additionally, labeling can change colour to reveal that it is at the required temperature for best or most enjoyable consumption, whether food or drink.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Frozen food packaging can incorporate thermochromic inks or be moulded with thermochromic masterbatch, to signal when a product is correctly below a temperature point, or a change in colour can show that the product is now too warm. For instance an ice cream label, carton, or the plastic lid could change colour.
