Insignia Technologies

Insignia Technologies’ main product focus is in the food packaging industry, whereby the colour-changing indicator warns when food is past its best by undergoing a dramatic and distinct colour change. The patented smart pigments can be easily incorporated into plastic food packaging, creating colour changing plastic film that will help minimize food wastage and ensure consumers know when food is fit for consumption. We are also developing an exciting range of UV, oxygen, volatiles, and humidity indicators for a variety of applications.

Insignia After Opening Freshness Timer Intelligent Labels™ - Designed for modified atmosphere packaging.

The intelligent label is embedded in the inside layer of the lidding film of a modified atmosphere package or bag. When the package is flushed with CO₂ the label turns yellow but remains the same colour until the package is opened, releasing the CO₂. Once the package is opened the label begins timing, responding with a colour change that can be pre-set in line with consume within guidance. The colour change response is faster in higher temperatures, aligning the label with actual product freshness.

Our technical team will work with your packaging partners to define label design and characteristics and then put the programme into place working together with your printing and packaging partners. We can create pilot programmes to fine tune the process and ensure a smooth transition of the label onto your product lines.
