Magic Add is working in partnership with global food packaging specialist Huhtamaki on digitalised applications for foodservice packaging, and has entered cooperative agreements with other international companies.

Under the terms of the agreement, the company’s packaging will contain unique codes that enhance logistics and ensure the authenticity of products.

"Magic Add specialises in cost-efficient, high-volume smart packaging, making it the cheapest and most effective way of embedding intelligence in packages."

Launched in 2011, Magic Add’s technology embeds coding into packaging, which can capture data along the supply chain and provide information to customers.
