ANCILLARY PACKAGING MATERIALS S.K.SARAVANA Post Graduation - Packaging Technology Diploma – Supply Chain Management Six Sigma Green Belt Bsc. (Chemistry)
WHAT ARE ANCILLARY PACKAGING MATERIALS? • Secondary packaging material • Add value to primary package • Improve performance • Absence or inadequacy, impairs the performance of primary package S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ANCILLARY PACKAGING MATERIALS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
HOW DO THEY ADD VALUE? • Prevent contamination • Enhance visibility • Bind packaging materials • Improve strength • Prevent product damage • Hold system together S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CAPS AND CLOSURES S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CAPS AND CLOSURES • MAJOR CLOSURE SYSTEMS: • Lids • Aerosol valves • Threaded closures • Crowns • Lug caps S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FUNCTION OF CLOSURE SYSTEM • Product protection spoilage & contamination in storage & transportation • Preservation of product over stipulated time A) Providing barrier to moisture, air, gases, vapors of volatile liquids B) Holding vacuum and pressure C) Preserve organoleptic properties • Protection against pilferage, tampering & adulteration • Provide ease of opening & resealing • Provide convenience in dispensing S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
THE CLOSURE SHOULD… • Not hinder dispensing • Neither affect nor get affected by product • Not release any toxic ingredients into the product • Withstand processing, sterilizing, pasteurizing, autoclaving etc. i.e., steps that may be involved in its life-cycle. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FACTORS FOR SELECTION OF CLOSURES • Product characteristics • Dispensing mechanism • Compatibility • Dimensional stability • Environmental stress cracking resistance • Heat resistance • Thread matching tolerances • Cost S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
RAW MATERIALS FOR CLOSURES… PLASTICS PP LDPE HDPE S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
RAW MATERIALS FOR CLOSURES… GLASS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
RAW MATERIALS FOR CLOSURES… METALS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
INKS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
INKS • Inks are colored liquids or pastes, formulated to transfer and reproduce an image from a printing surface • Components of Inks: Pigments/dyes, vehicle, solvent & additives • Convey a message • Give a decorative effect to the substrate • Inks are used on a wide range of papers, boards, plastic, glass and textiles surface S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FORMS OF INKS SOLUTION POWDER PASTE S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
TYPES OF INKS • Printing Inks Rotogravure Inks Flexographic Inks Offset Inks Screen Inks • Specialty Inks Marking Inks Night Glow Inks Textile Inks UV Inks Fluorescent Inks • Surface Coatings S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
SELECTION OF INK • Types of printing process • Type of substrate • Application • Finish • Drying process S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ADHESIVES S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ADHESIVES • Adhesive/glue is a mixture in a liquid, semi-liquid, solid state that adheres or bonds items together • Adhesives come from either natural or synthetic sources • Used to bind similar and dissimilar materials S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CLASSIFICATION OF ADHESIVES • ON BASIS OF SOURCE: • Natural: Starch, dextrines, animal and plant proteins, natural rubber, shellac • Semi-synthetic: Cellulose nitrate, polyamide derivatives • Synthetic: Neoprene and PVA adhesives. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CLASSIFICATION OF ADHESIVES • Waterborne Adhesives • Solvent–borne Adhesives • Hot–melt Adhesives S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
WATER-BORNE ADHESIVES • Largest volume class of adhesive used in packaging • General advantages of ease and safety of handling, energy efficiency, low cost and high strength • Common waterborne adhesives: Starch adhesive S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
SOLVENT–BORNE ADHESIVES • Adhesives in which volatile organic compounds are the major solvent or dispersant • Solvents:Heptane, toluene, n-butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, naphtha, mineral spirits and methylene chloride • Factors of cost, safety, productivity and above all, compliance with clean-air law have led to decline in use of these adhesives • Commonly used adhesive: Polyurethane adhesives S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
HOT–MELT ADHESIVES • Hot melts - 100% solids adhesive • Based on thermoplastic polymers that are applied when heated in the molten state and set to form a bond on cooling and solidification • Fastest growing important class of adhesives in packaging S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
HOT–MELT ADHESIVES • Co-polymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate (EVA) • Excellent balance of molten stability, adhesion and toughness over a broad temperature range and compatibility • Advantage: Rapid rate of bond formation, which can translate into high production rates on a packaging line. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FEATURES OF A GOOD ADHESIVE • The adhesive must retain tack after solvents are removed to wet the secondary substrate • The adhesive must be flexible and retain elasticity even after it has cured • It should not become hard and brittle • The cured adhesive must possess the required level of thermal and chemical resistance • The cured adhesive must also be transparent and colorless S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ADHESIVE TAPES S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ADHESIVE TAPES • Combination of an adhesive and a backing material • Available in rolls of fixed length and width • Classification of basis of backing material: Fabric tapes, paper tapes, film tapes, non-woven fabric tapes, foil tapes, foam tapes, reinforced tapes, two faced tapes • Classification of basis of application: Packaging tapes, hospital and first-aid tapes, graphic art tapes, electrical tapes, automobile industry tapes etc. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
ADHESIVES USED IN TAPES • Rubber based adhesives: • Advantages: Relatively cheap, high tack and adhesion, easy to formulate • Disadvantages: Softens and flows at high temperature • Acrylic based adhesives: • Advantages: Excellent adhesion and stable at relatively high temperatures • Disadvantages: Costlier • Silicon based adhesives: • Advantages: Good tack, withstand temperatures beyond 155oC • Disadvantages: Very Costly S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
REINFORCEMENTS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
REINFORCEMENTS • Reinforcement: Enhance strength of packaging • Better ability to withstand rough handling conditions • Classification: • Metallic: Round wires and steel straps • Non-metallic: Polyester, Nylon, polypropylene, rayon. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FUNCTION OF STRAPS • Secure a handling base (skids, platforms, pallets, runners, spacers, etc.) to a unit • Strap may be used for local securement or within the transport vehicle • Straps also provide security against accidental loss or theft of the contents • Different packages can be color coded with strapping for easy identification in warehouses. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
PROPERTIES OF STRAPS • Strength • Working range • Retained tension • Elongation recovery • Surface slipperiness • Abrasion resistance • Split resistance • Joint/weld strength S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FOR BEST RESULTS • Use correct quality of straps and seals • Use proper size of straps and seals • Locate the strap on package correctly • Use edge protection material as required • Use proper tools and equipments • Provide proper tension levels S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CUSHIONING MATERIALS S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
CUSHIONING MATERIALS • Protects the article from damage due to shock and vibration • During transport, package is subjected to vibration, movement and jolts • Cushioning material prevents product damage, abrasion of surfaces, friction over sharp projection • Cushioning materials: Foams, paper shreds, cotton waste, sand etc. S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
FUNCTIONS OF CUSHIONING MATERIALS • Shock protection • Protection of high-finished surface • Protection of small projection on articles • Filling of void space S.K.SARAVANA, sarvanpackaging@gmail.com
