Innovation experts have today revealed a futuristic blueprint for how the cardboard box might evolve in the next 50 years.
Released to celebrate the 150th year of the cardboard box, the characteristics of the self-healing box include a webbed nerve system that borrows from the composition of leaves.
Sensors are printed onto the ‘skin’ of the box and connect all fibres in the packaging so that it can ascertain damage and communicate externally.
Other features – revealed by experts at DS Smith – include regenerative ‘scar tissue’, which heals itself just like the human body.
