    Introduction
    • Enclosing of physical object – protection from
    tampering.
    • provides barrier between enclosed product and its
    environment.
    Purpose
    • protection against physical impact on object, dust
    and dirt.
    • agglomeration
    • Information transmission
    • Marketing
    • Prevention of pilferage & tampering

    TYPES OF PACKAGING
    • Child-Resistant Packaging
    • Tamper-Evident Packaging
    • Flexible Packaging
    • Foam Packaging
    • Aseptic Packaging
    Child-Resistant Packaging
    • To prevent children from toxicity in product
    • Two designs of packaging
    • Cap must be pressed down and turn
    • Pull-up and turn
    • In form of blisters and pouches
    • Paper and aluminium foil with plastic
    Tamper-Evident Packaging
    • To provide consumer with evidence
    • Involves plastic packaging
    • plastic over wraps around containers,plastic
    neckbands,and inner seals
    • Grown particularly in food areas
    • Also termed as freshness seal
    Flexible-Packaging
    • polarized light used to examine heat seals
    • Bi-refringence patterns guides seal interface
    • Hermatic seals to avoid wrinkles
    • Contamination in seal area to be removed
    Foam Packaging
    • Plastic foam,packaging as cushioning
    material also used as containers
    • Polystyrene,urethanes,polyethylene,and
    polypropylene are used as materials
    • Classified in to open cell and closed cell
    • Closed cell are less absorbent than open cell
    Aseptic Packaging
    • Sterilizing the product with heat
    • Package with hydrogen peroxide
    • Milk,egg mix,soups,juices and liquid foods
    • By canning process
    Aseptic Packaging
    • Convenience-portable,high weight,shatter
    proof and easy transporting
    • Food safety-prevent food from harmful
    bacteria and contaminants
    • No refrigeration-can be placed in cabinets
    • More nutrition-less heat than canning so
    product retain natural taste,color,and texture
    Applications Of Packaging
    • Milk and dairy foods are packaged
    • To maintain product hygiene
    • Protects nutrition and flavour
    • Reduce food spoilage and waste
    • Increase food availability
    • Enable efficient food distribution and to
    communicate storage instructions
    Types Of Packaging In Milk
    Products
    • Cartons-covered by polyethylene plastic
    • Plastic bottles-made of HDPE ,PE ,PET
    • HDPE and PET does not spoil the milk
    • Containers-polystyrene plastics are used to
    produce tubs and pots for milk packaging
    MEDICAL PACKAGING
    • Polymer films protect the enclosed packaging.
    • The films are single or laminated structure of
    polymer films.
    • Prevents moisture, O2, light, other gases –
    permeating package structure.
    • Films can be folded or creased without – structural
    weakness.
    • Common types of sterilization – ethylene oxide
    and gamma radiation.
    • Gas is introduced – evacuated after destroying
    micro organisms.
    FILM STRUCTURES
    Coextrusion
    • Two or more polymers coextruded
    through single die.
    • Materials – LDPE, Polypropylene, PVC,
    Polyamides, Polystyrene.
    • Features – low gas permeation rate.

    Lamination
    • Created when two or more films bonded
    with special adhesives – through rolling,
    heated cylinders.
    FILM STRUCTURES
    Lamination
    • Materials - polyethylene - cellophane,
    polypropylene – cellophane.
    • Materials are tested and suitable adhesives
    are used.

    Metallization
    • Developed by vaporizing metal, depositing
    to polymer web and applying to film.
    • Aluminum – most commonly used.
    FILM STRUCTURES
    Coating
    • Application of various materials to film web
    substrate to impart special features and
    properties.
    • Materials – Teflon, polyvinylidene chloride,
    polyvinylidene fluoride.
    BLISTER PACKAGING
    • Used to make child resistant packaging
    • Medical application – pouches, diagnostic test kits
    & disposables.
    • Two types – 1. push through lidding – tablet or
    capsule- PVC, PET, polyvinylidene chloride.
    2. peelable lidding – sealed packet with or without
    special adhesives – tyvek coating, polyester
    coating, polyvinyl acetate.
    Different Technique Followed
    in Packaging

    • Injection Moulding
    • Injection Blow Moulding
    • Extrusion Blow Moulding
    • Positive Thermoforming
    • Negative Thermoforming
    Injection Moulding
    • For Producing Caps and Lids
    • Uses two stage Extruders,for plasticizing
    and injection functions
    • Made of high quality tool grade steel and so
    expensive
    • Polymers used have relatively low
    viscosities
    • Temperature plays main role
    Injection Moulding
    Closures
    • Critical parts of packing System
    • Has to rectify the errors occurred during the
    manufacture of Containers
    • Polypropylene- the most widely used
    • Polystyrene, HDPE, LDPE and PVC are
    also used
    Closures- Categories

    • Friction Closures- for Cork typed

    • Snap on Closures- for Child resistant

    • Threaded Closures- for those at


    pressure(Example- Carbonated Beverages)
    Blow Moulding

    • Extrusion Blow Moulding

    • Injection Blow Moulding


    Extrusion Blow Moulding
    • Used for Producing Plastic Bottles
    • Extrusion is in Downward Direction
    Injection Blow Moulding
    • Used for producing Bottles
    • Two moulds are used
    • Mold has two halves of cavities and a core
    rod
    • Preferred for small bottles
    • Polystyrene and PET are most commonly
    used
    Injection Blow Moulding
    Thermoforming
    • Used for making Cups, Egg Cartons, Trays
    etc..
    • More than 75% of thermoforming
    applications are in packaging
    • HIPS is used
    • Maintaining temperature is important in
    Thermoforming
    Types of Thermoforming
    Positive Thermoforming
    * Convex mould is used
    * Preferred when tolerances on inside
    of package are critical
    Negative Thermoforming
    * Concave mould is used
    * Better material distribution, faster
    cooling than positive thermoforming
