Abstract

Adhesives play a fundamental role in many modern technologies, and adhesive failure can have catastrophic consequences. In packing industry, adhesive is used as an ancillary material. Different types of adhesives are designed for a large variety of applications. Some have very weak strength for holding papers in place, others are so strong that they can used for bonding cars and airplanes. There is no one adhesive that is suitable to all applications. It is, therefore, valuable to understand the factors important for the production of a good durable adhesive bond.

Abstract

In printing industry printer is expected to reproduce the identical replica of the original, both should be identical to each other in every manner. But practically, sometimes printed product does not satisfy the customer as colors printed, are not matching with original. On different papers, printed ink appears different due to quality of paper, color separation, etc. so in this project, study will be done on color matching strategy on various paper substrates in Sheet Fed Offset Printing Process.

Keywords

Color, Ink, Color Separation, Sheet Fed Offset.

Abstract

In the modem era of Printing Technology, currency printing is the abstract of all printing applications. Most of the banknotes employ four types of printing processes namely Lithography, Intaglio, Letterpress, and Silk Screen Printing. Ink Features: All the inks used in bank note printing offer a certain amount of security because they are not commercially available and hence not available to would be counterfeiters. The inks used have to have a very high performance and be very resistant to environmental conditions such as sunlight, heat, moisture, etc. Ink features are of utmost importance like Colour Choice, Fluorescent Inks, Metallic Inks, Metameric Inks, Magnetic Inks, Optically Variable Inks, and Colour Changing Inks etc. etc. Substrate Features: The choice of substrate is very important as it has to be a very durable material resistant to tearing, withstanding crumpling and stable to environmental effects such as humidity. In a bid to overcome the menace of fake Indian currency notes, the Government has started giving serious thought to printing currency notes on polymer, a practice prevalent in Australia. "Australian notes are more secure against counterfeiting". Some of the substrate features are Paper Features, Watermark, and Threads. Design Features: Many of the design features are built around precision printing that can be achieved by the highly specialised presses used in the production of bank notes. There are many types of design elements that can be worked into a bank note to give protection such as Rainbow Printing, Anti Copy Features, See through Features, Intaglio Detail, Latent Images, and Blind Recognition Features etc. Security features of currency printing were always remained a confidential and sensitive issue. Currency notes were always counterfeited in the world irrespective of several security and legal features. Therefore, now-a-days it is very relevant study to study the security features and designing features for identification and acceptance of only genuine currency and this study will help in this direction. As it is a non-ending process in the present world, therefore such studies will always be relevant and helpful in future.

Abstract

The Indian flexible packaging industry is growing at a rapid rate. Flexible packaging contains multi-layered laminated sheets of single or combination of substrates such as plastics, paper or aluminium. The Packaging pouch industries have shown a substantial growth in the last decade because of the conversion of rigid and semi-rigid packaging into flexible packaging methods. Flexible packaging pouches are gradually replacing rigid packages on store shelves and retail markets. Flexible packaging pouches can be used to store food and non-food products. It has led to many inventions in the field of packaging pouches. Zipper is one of the most demandable features provided in the packaging pouches. Zipper feature came into existence due to concept of reusability; one of the most demanded characteristic by customers. Flexible zipper pouches are beneficial to the customers because it provides safety, convenience, consistent high quality and beneficial for trade purposes because of space saving, shelf appearance, aesthetics and reduced packages. Zippered plastic pouches that can be securely closed and reopened are particularly popular due to their ability to maintain freshness of food stored in the pouches and to minimize or eliminate leakage out of pouch. With the help of this study it is found that zipper feature can be provided very easily in the flexible packaging pouches and zipper pouches satisfies the various demands of customers and suppliers.

Abstract

Packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale and use. Carton is the name of certain types of containers typically made from paperboard which is also sometimes known as cardboard. Many types of cartons are used in packaging. Sometimes a carton is also called a box. Cartons can be made from many materials: paperboard, various plastics or a composite. Some are "food grade" for direct contact with foods. Many cartons are made out of a single piece of paperboard. Depending on the need, this paperboard can be waxed or coated with polyethylene to form a moisture barrier. This may serve to contain a liquid product or keep a powder. Prepress is the term used in the printing and publishing industries for the processes and procedures that occur between the creation of a print layout and the final printing. The prepress procedure includes the manufacture of aprinting plate, image carrier or form, ready for mounting on a printing press, as well as the adjustment of images and texts or the creation of a high-quality print file. In today's prepress shop, the form of delivery from the customer is usually electronic, either a PDF or application files created from such programs as Adobe in Design or QuarkXPress. Press sections in packaging industry cover all the operation occurs between prepress and post press section. We use different verities of board for printing, high quality of ink by which we print and different printing process to print. Postpress is a crucial part of any printing process even though it takes place after the actual printing, since it determines the final look, shape and feel of your printed product.
