Lightning Labels Blog

Posted by Peter Renton on December 29th, 2006

I discovered this amazing news during my Holiday reading. A Korean company has invented a completely new battery technology that does not include any toxic chemicals and is paper thin. There is no talk of when this material will be commercially available, my guess is it will be several years, but if and when it happens the ramifications could be huge. You can read more about it here.

My guess is that if this technology becomes mainstream label material companies will work out ways to print on it and we could have a product label that is a power source. This opens up all kinds of applications. If you combine this product with electronic paper that I have written about before and suddenly the label is transformed and videos on product labels could become a reality.

My guess is we are years and probably decades away from commercial use, but you know when it happens Lightning Labels will be at the forefront.

Happy New Year everyone. Here's to a happy and prosperous 2007.
