Parcel Tracking Made Easy
Losing packages suck and if commercial couriers aren’t going to do anything about it, we as consumers should be able to do something to prevent it. The G.P. Stamp is a small stamp-sized electronic chip with a built-in battery that keeps tabs on your shipment. All critical information is sent wirelessly in real time to keep you in the loop.
The stamp uses advanced printed electronics to stay slim and on one side is a layer of flexible 0.2-millimetre-thick GPS circuit board. The other side features a flexible 0.4-millimetre-thick battery cell. You can get larger stamps with more battery life for longer shipment transits.
Too bad it’s only a concept. I’d so use this for my next parcel shipment.

i think that's kind of a waste, except for absolutely valuable itens like shipping diamonds or some nuclear stuff.

It be cool to see a Square like adapter for the iphone or android to read the stamps signal (GP)RFID receiver and writer.
Your (GP)RFID wouldn't need a battery if its not a true GPS transmitter.
The Idea is a smart redesign, perfect for Packages or High priority documents. IF USPS, international postal services, fedex, UPS, or DHL could work there info structure (see a profit margin), it would save them like the professional international crate shipping RFID tags used already in use.

isnt batteries classified as dangerous and non shippable?

so, what happens when the thief takes the goods and leaves the stamp? better to tag the product, not the envelope.

it looks brilliant ! being in the parcel industry for such a long time, i can say that, yes it could be the ultimate solution to alocate/trace parcels. But we need to understand the way it works and how does it communicate with the dispersed servers. the solution should cover all relative components and then we can decide if its feasible or not. End of the day, being effective means feasible at the long run!

Its really amazing! But the main question is how much it will cost? and can everybody afford it?
