Any affordable technology to detect things in a paper box?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I put things in a paper box. This is good for saving spaces and moving. But that makes it difficult to find things. NFC stickers would have been perfect if it worked within 1 meter range, but that technology seems to work only within a few centimeters, so I cannot scan it outside a box.

Is there any other technology? If there is no such thing, what would be an efficient method in this digital age? Of course, the simplest way is to write down the names of things in a box on the box itself, but when there are many things and lots of boxes, writing/finding would take long.
