Protect & Preserve

Now here comes the 2nd most important function of Packaging - Protect & Preserve. Yes, protect and preserve functions goes hand in hand, and the companies and managers need to first understand the physical damages and preservation method before selecting the packaging material. Protect - It means, protection from physical damages such as vibration, shock, temperature and humidity, tamper-proof etc. Preservation - It means, preventing the product's nature from bio-chemical and analytical changes such as impact of various gases, light, food spoilage, deterioration etc. The most obvious function of any Packaging is Contain. Its the first step to be considered for designing a package. We have to first understand the product's type, its form, its usage and its nature/reactivity, so the selected packaging can deliver the desired Contain function.

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.
