Read on to learn about just a selection of Laava customers who are leveraging the power of connected packaging and digital storytelling.

Pharmaceuticals and Wellness

Biogency

Laava Smart Fingerprints now protect a range of products for Australian manufacturer of nutraceutical and wellness products, Biogency:

  • men’s health supplement VMAN
  • Beauty Skin, supporting skin and collagen health 
  • Bonefits, for bone and joint health as well as general health and wellbeing.
