Applications
Smart labels.
Power thin enough
to print on packaging.
A smart label only works if its power source disappears into the label. Gii electrodes are grown directly onto flexible substrates using a scalable reel-to-reel process, giving cell developers a thin, conformable, binder-free electrode designed for high-volume integration.
Where Gii is used
Smart label formats built on Gii
Five label applications where a printed, flexible cell replaces a coin cell or a wired supply.
Cold Chain Indicators
Time-temperature logging on the pack itself, powered for the life of the shipment and disposed of with the packaging.
Active Packaging
Freshness, tamper and seal-integrity indicators that need a small, sustained current rather than a rigid battery.
Logistics Tracking
Shock, tilt and location event capture across the supply chain, designed for integration into single-use smart labels.
Brand and Anti-Counterfeit
Authentication labels with on-pack interaction, powered without adding thickness or a hard component.
Retail and Shelf Labels
Display and sensing labels deployed at volume, with Gii grown on flexible substrates for reel-to-reel integration with the label stock.
Why
.
A printed electrode that behaves like a foil, in a label's form factor
Thin and conformable
Gii is grown directly onto flexible substrates, so the cell bends with the label instead of dictating its shape.
High surface area, no binder
3D pure carbon foam is a highly conductive current collector and electrode material with no metal foil and no binder system.
Volume manufacturable
Produced on iGii's UK reel-to-reel line, so the electrode scales with the label run rather than limiting it.
