Tracing devices used in intelligent packaging ensures quality and safety of food by causing a reduction in product loss. Traceable approaches used in packaging also ensure product authenticity by minimizing tampering and counterfeiting of food products. This chapter highlights the emerging and current tracing devices used in interactive intelligent packaging that detect, sense, or record the changes inside the food package or its external environment. Different types of indicators, sensors or data carriers used in intelligent packaging with their classification are given in this chapter. It also pays emphasis on possible cost-effective solutions such as the 3D approach of printing in producing these smart devices or components. Future insights to bring more improvement throughout the supply chain have also been discussed. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
