Abstract: The transition from passive containment to active, responsive management is defining the next generation of intelligent packaging. This evolution creates a critical demand for materials that can be precisely engineered to monitor, regulate, and protect. Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have emerged as a uniquely versatile platform in this regard, owing to their synthetically tunable porosity, inherent biocompatibility, and exceptional solution processability derived from reversible supramolecular assembly. This review moves beyond cataloging applications to dissect the fundamental mechanisms by which HOFs enable smart packaging functions, including the following: (i) selective gas capture and atmosphere tailoring via molecular recognition within designed pores; (ii) high-sensitivity optical and electrochemical sensing for real-time quality and safety signaling; and (iii) stimuli-responsive release of active agents (e.g., antimicrobials). We further explore the frontier of integrating HOFs as functional fillers or coatings within polymeric matrices, a key step toward practical devices. Despite challenges such as structural stability and maintaining permanent porosity due to relatively weak hydrogen bonds, this work aims to provide a design blueprint for advancing HOFs from laboratory curiosities to core components of sustainable, multifunctional packaging systems.
