The Innovations that shaped packaging over past 200 years

|| The packaging is a silent salesman. The packaging is responsible for creating the first impression to the customers. This packaging we see today has evolved from being only as a intended use to a tool for communicating and branding. || The packaging we see today revolves around branding, communication and consumer promotion and goes beyond above normal functions such as contain, caring and preservation. Today's packaging also plays a major role in ease of consumers use mechanisms such as simple dispensing systems like bottle opener in beer bottles, child resistant closures etc. Let’s take a look at "The Innovations that shaped packaging over past 200 years" Video Source:

Polymers in Packaging: Polystyrene(PS)

Polystyrene is a hard, stiff, clear polymer produced by the polymerization of styrene, its monomer. Widely used as protective packaging for CD and DVD cases, tv, refrigerators, electronics, cabinets, and housings for machines. In the packaging era, it is very common in making containers, lids, bottles, trays, tumblers, disposable cutlery, blister packs for knives, forks, and scissors, fillers for shipping cartons and many more. Interesting Facts: . Polystyrene is sold commercially as Styrofoam® .. It is also used as insulation in homes … In Thermocol only 5% is polystyrene. The rest is air. …. It is initially discovered from the resin of a tree Highlights of Polystyrene at a snapshot: hashtag # Polystyrene hashtag # polymer hashtag # packaging hashtag # packagingdesign hashtag # packagingindustry hashtag # protectivepackaging hashtag # foodpackaging hashtag # packagingsolutions

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.
