Accelerating pharma security: The power of NFC & RFID in packaging solutions

30.04.2024

As the pharmaceutical market grows, smart packaging advancements are playing a pivotal role in enhancing patient engagement, security, and supply chain visibility.

As the pharmaceutical market grows, smart packaging advancements are playing a pivotal role in enhancing patient engagement, security, and supply chain visibility.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near-Field Communication (NFC) technologies, part of our solution range at MM Packaging, are at the forefront of this trend, offering unprecedented interactivity and security for injectable pharma packaging.

RFID and NFC are technologies that enable the sharing of digital information and identifiers between packaging and devices, such as smartphones or scanners.

RFID tags store data electronically, which provides instant identification of a product’s origin and authenticity. This reduces the risk of counterfeit activities and unauthorised tampering, supporting patient safety and security. NFC technology, which can be integrated into labels, enables real-time tracking and tracing of products throughout the supply chain and this information exchange can include instructions for use.

Enhanced security and interactivity

RFID and NFC technologies increase interactivity with patients. By integrating NFC-enabled labels into packaging, pharmaceutical companies can provide patients with access to valuable information about their medications, including dosage schedules, administration techniques, and potential side effects. This heightened engagement promotes greater adherence to treatment regimens, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Instant authentication of products protects patients from counterfeit medications and add further benefits for pharma businesses by providing invaluable visibility throughout the supply chain. By tracking products in real-time, companies can identify potential bottlenecks, streamline logistics and ensure timely delivery of medications to patients.

By enhancing interactivity with patients, strengthening security measures and ensuring supply chain visibility in partnership with our team at MM Packaging, these technologies are empowering pharmaceutical companies to deliver safer, more reliable medications to patients worldwide.

As a leading supplier of next-generation secondary packaging to the pharmaceutical sector, we are proud to offer RFID smart technology and NFC-enabled smart labels as part of our comprehensive range of solutions.
