Reelables is the first company to mass-produce printable active smart labels that combine thin-film wireless electronics and flexible, coated batteries, allowing the labels to be printed on standard barcode printers and disposed of after use. Its paper-thin Bluetooth and 5G labels, paired with proprietary software, give logistics providers, retailers, and manufacturers continuous location, inventory, and temperature data with 100% accuracy, eliminating the need for manual barcode scans or bulky tracking devices. The solution helps reduce theft and loss, improves accountability, and automates supply-chain visibility at scale. Reelables reported more than 200% growth this year and plans to scale manufacturing to 100 million labels annually to meet accelerating demand. The company will channel new capital into expanding engineering and operations teams, advancing product development, and enlarging production capacity. Industry veteran Tom Carter has joined as Chief Operating Officer to steer these expansion efforts. Headquartered in London, the company is tackling an asset-tracking market projected to reach $88 billion by 2033.
