E Ink is working with Texen to develop smart packaging solutions and customisable packing for make-up compacts, perfume bottles and other cosmetic packaging. The labels use NFC to update and power the E Ink displays. The resulting packaging provides consumers with the following benefits:
- Personalisation features: consumers can put their names on their makeup compacts and perfume bottles or write personal messages to gift recipients
- Neuro-cosmetics: combining well-being and a unique sensorial experience, E Ink displays will be the interface to bridge consumers’ digital lifestyle with the product itself
- Connected cosmetics: connectivity will be the vehicle for targeted advertising and social media campaigns
- DIY beauty formulation: E Ink display modules can integrate sensor or diagnostic components to enable beauty treatments based on skin condition as affected by factors such as weather, humidity, etc.
