Insignia Technologies Ltd

Insignia Technologies Ltd is an innovative business developing a range of sensing technologies. The initial products are a range of smart pigments and inks which can change colour when exposed to a variety of gases or UV light. The main focus of our initial products is in the food packaging industry, whereby the colour changing indicators can warnwhen food is past its best by undergoing a dramatic and distinct colour change. The patented smart pigments can be easily incorporated into plastic food packaging, creating colour changing plastic film which will help minimise food wastage and ensure consumers know when food is fit for consumption. We are also developing an exciting range of UV, oxygen, volatiles, and humidity indicators for a variety of applications.
