A multi-packaging device comprises a plastic sheet having a generally uniform thickness and alternating and discrete strips of different materials extending side-by-side and parallel with respect to an array of apertures, wherein each strip of the alternating and discrete strips of plastic sheet includes at least one distinct physical property that differs from each adjacent strip. Here, because the substrate of an integrated circuit carrying the sensor is used as a visible light filter, reflection of IR radiation back into the substrate can affect the operation and reliability of the IR sensor. The data carrier preferably includes a RFID marker and a chemical marker integrated into an anti-tampering device adapted to be non-removably secured to the closure of the container so as to be damaged as a result of an attempt at removing the closure from the container. The volume hologram spatially reflects the constituent light signals such that they are dispersed in two dimensions. The media is preferably implemented using a video-on-demand to server. This is achieved by liquid phase low temperature-low pressure hot pressing of boron carbide in an argon atmosphere.
