Circular economy, branding and consumption, automation and artificial intelligence, innovations and technological developments are just some of the thematic blocks related to the world of packaging.  What does it mean to design an “intelligent” pack for the food sector? Today, there are numerous requirements to meet: from the most striking sustainability with eco-friendly materials and a challenge to plastic, to innovation in design, because we continue to buy what we like, even better if it is characterized by ease of use and safety.  And if technology offers us interactive experiences and guarantees quality, customization is also a relevant aspect, as it addresses our need to be unique in our originality. 
The packaging of our products describes them and, by reflection, ourselves.  Are we what we consume?
