Also, they provide consumers with an easy way to access information regarding the products, and promotions and even engage in an interactive session, through smartphones. Thus, the need for smart labels is expected to grow as more technological developments happen and as more consumers become accustomed to the convenience generated by the advanced technology, which is why it is essential for firms to look for ways in which they can stand out by adopting these technologies in their labeling systems.
