Design contest for packaging and printing held at PACK EXPO

• Interactive Packaging—Submitted By: Blue Spark Technologies
This design focuses on creating a fun, interactive consumer experience while using the latest advancements in printed circuit, battery and electronics design. In this case, the intent was to create a box of cookies that transforms into an interactive toy fire truck after the cookies are consumed. A film-based flexible circuit consists of a programmable microchip, an eco-friendly flexible printed carbon-zinc battery, a piezoelectric speaker and conductive ink-based printed graphics and connectors. In the end, the design is functional, and more importantly, is compatible with high-speed automated packaging lines.
