Importantly, commercial manufacturing of in situ platforms requires rapid fabrication of sensors that are easily integrated onto food packaging materials. To this end, we demonstrate the functionalization of polyethylene food packaging films with fNAPs via contact printing. We are the first to report the contact deposition of functional DNA oligonucleotides -an approach that offers significant commercial potential, specifically with recent developments in roll-to-roll printing. Further, it overcomes the limited lateral resolution and bio-ink evaporation issues often associated with non-contact printing. Through the deposition of a range of bio-responsive oligonucleotides -appropriately labelled with suitable fluorophores, multiplex platforms can be easily produced using the strategies detailed in this study.
