This function in the logistical packaging is to allow information to be conveyed to the consumers. There basically three kinds of information needed to be conveyed. One is the content identification, the other is the tracking information and the last one is definitely the handling instruction of the product or pallet load.
Here are some examples of how information is being conveyed to the customers:
Symbols and labels
Many types of symbols for package labelling are nationally and internationally standardized. For consumer packaging, symbols exist for product certifications, trademarks, proof of purchase, etc. Some requirements and symbols exist to communicate aspects of consumer use and safety and also handling instructions. Recycling directions, Resin identification code (below), and package environmental claims have special codes and symbols. Shipments of hazardous material or dangerous goods have special information and symbols as required by UN, country, and specific carrier requirements.

RFID
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic transmission method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.
An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. This device is used for tracking and content identifying purposes.
