Polymers in Packaging: Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET)

Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET) is the most common polymer used in the packaging industry. Plastic bottles made from PET are widely used for soft drinks, Bi axially oriented PET films are used in food packaging and pet preforms are made by PET by injection molding. Unique properties of PET makes it an ideal polymer for packaging... Know about PET at a glance.

Polymers in Packaging: Polypropylene(PP)

Polypropylene(PP) is the lowest density commodity thermoplastic polymer which is both tough and durable. Polypropylene has a very slippery surface and good resistance to fatigue, thus an ideal material for most plastic living hinges, as in flip-top bottles caps (Tic Tacs) and sanitizers.

Offset Printing

A form of printing technology using an intermediate carrier to transfer image from original carrier (such as a plate) to the  substrate . Offset Lithography In this process the image + non image area coexist on same plane. Types of lithograpgu  - di-litho and waterless lithography. Types of offset lithography - sheetfed and web-offset lithography. Offset printing is widely used in modern printing presses. It is described as when 'positive image' on plate is inked and transferred (offset) from plate to a rubber blanket. Blanket captures mirror image of plate.  The blanket moves the image to substrate making the image. In Offset printing, it is based on fact that oil and water do not mix. The offset process employs a planographic plate mounted over press cylinder.  Offset presses makes use of 3 cylinders: Plate, blanket and impression cylinder.
