Abstract
A smart package backing (100) for pills removable from the backing, wherein the backing is adapted to record a removal of said pills by means of detection elements (103, 401a, 501a). The detection elements comprise electrical components (401a, 501a), wherein said electrical components are pressed onto the backing (100) with methods of printing technology. The removal of a pill from the backing is adapted to bring about a structural change in at least one printed component, and the structural change of said component is adapted to bring about an electrically measurable change in an electric circuit comprising said component. In addition, at least one of said electrical components (401a, 501a) deviates in terms of its specific electrical value from the specific electrical value of at least one other electrical component (401a, 501a).

34. A smart package, for example a medication package or a smart package intended for shipping or storing single-unit contents, wherein the package comprises a backing for objects removable from the backing, wherein the backing is adapted to record a removal of said objects by detection means of detection elements provided in the backing, and wherein the detection elements comprise electrical components, and wherein said electrical components have been pressed onto the backing with methods of printing technology, and wherein the removal of an object from the backing is adapted to bring about a structural change in at least one printed component, and wherein the structural change of said component is adapted to bring about an electrically measurable change in an electric circuit comprising said component, and further wherein at least one of said electrical components deviates in terms of its specific electrical value from the specific electrical value of at least one other electrical component.
- 35. A method for manufacturing a backing for objects removable from the backing or a smart package comprising said backing, in which method, electrical components present in detection elements included in the backing are pressed onto the backing by methods of printing technology, such that the removal of an object from the backing is adapted to bring about a structural change in at least one printed component, and wherein the structural change of said component is adapted to bring about an electrically measurable change in at least one of said electrical components printed on the backing.
