A packaging system for at least one article includes a multilayer laminate structure and at least one sensor. The laminate structure encapsulates a transformative material between first and second conductive layers, which undergoes a state change that changes impedance between the first and second conductive layers in response to a perforation produced by the at least one sensor. An NFC/RFID circuit is electrically coupled to the first and second conductive layers of the multilayer laminate structure. At least one operational characteristic of the NFC/RFID circuit is dependent on the impedance change between the first and second conductive layers in response to a perforation produced by the sensor under predetermined environmental conditions. The operational characteristic(s) of the NFC/RFID circuit can be ascertained and analyzed (for example, by operations of an NFC/RFID interrogator) to detect and register the predetermined environmental conditions and provide an indication thereof.
