Ikea Seeks Disposable Labels

Furniture store Ikea has posted a listing on Ninesigma, seeking remotely-writable, disposable labels to show country-specific information on products and packages. The (blank) labels must be able to be attached during production and updated for the sales market without physical contact. They must be made using sustainable or recyclable materials, and be low cost. Prototype evaluation will take place in Q2’16 and implementation in 2017/2018.
