Where We Started...
Originally, the technology was designed for the condom packaging industry. The execution involved the placement of the tamper-evident packaging as an added layer to the interior or exterior of existing condom packaging, thereby preventing the oxygen-indicating dye from coming into direct contact with the condom. The detection of damage to the condom minimizes the risk of unplanned pregnancies and (STIs). The evidence of damage to the condom package with the patented color changing technology arms the user with a visible deterrent, as opposed to the previous standard of an air bubble or an expiration date on the packaging.
Following the formation of Baby Blue Brand, the Founders recognized a much broader application for the growing packaging industry and new demand for packaging safety. As a consequence, the Founders formed a sister entity of Baby Blue - 3BP- to integrate the use of non-condom related active and intelligent packaging (“3B Packaging”) across a wide-array of industries with similar application.

The History
Gates Foundation Non-WinnersIn 2013 we were turned down by the Gates Foundation. We didn't want to build a better condom. We wanted to build better condom packaging.

ConceptsWhen we first started thinking of ideas for our condom packaging, we thought of everything. Since we went home we were definitely thinking big.
