There is provided a package for tobacco products or tobacco related commodities or smoking devices (20; 120; 220; 320), wherein the package (20; 120; 220; 320) includes an information encoding pattern (10; 110). The information encoding pattern comprises at least one first area (12) having a first conductive or dielectric property and at least one second area (14; 14a, 14b, 14c) having a second conductive or dielectric property. The first conductive property is different from the second conductive property and the first dielectric property is different from the second dielectric property. The information encoding pattern is configured to be detectable by a capacitive touch screen (24), e.g. a touch screen of a mobile device (22), such as a smartphone or tablet computer, when the information encoding pattern interacts with the touch screen, i.e. when the information encoding pattern approaches and/or touches the touch screen.
