Abstract

Corrugated fiberboard boxes are very important for dispatching the item from supplier to consumer. The finished goods are packed and then dispatch to the customer and hence CFC is very important parameter to transport the finished cartons to the final user without any damage to the inside cartons. Corrugated is a rigid shipping and packaging medium that can be cut and folded into an infinite variety of shapes and sizes even allowing direct print with high resolution graphics. Corrugated offers almost unlimited possible combinations of board types, fiute sizes, paperweights, adhesive types, treatments and coatings. Strength of the corrugated board is an indispensable factor without which the core concept of packaging is lost and in addition brings a huge loss of resources to the supplier Corrugated Board is engineered for stack ability This paper is focused on studying and analyzing the strength properties of CFC boards so that appropriate measures could be taken to improve the strength. Corrugated fiber boards are tested for the strength properties through bursting strength and compression strength and the results have been utilized in better selection of the corrugated board which not only avoid overpricing but are also more durable.

Abstract

Hybrid printing is only the panacea for the existing various crucial issues and problems in the printing industries and relatively a new concept which is gaining popularity day by day. Hybrid printing system is one which is not only exploring the print industry multi-dimensionally and but touching new heights of success also in this modem era with the evolution of innovative technologies. It is the inevitability of time from technological prospective to have a print system which can deliver the desired result in short span of time with the best utilization of 3M i.e. Man, Machines and Materials. This paper is intended to explicate the various dimensions and possibilities of hybrid printing system in different aspect in which conventional and NIP technologies are integrated for effective utilization.

Keywords

Abstract

Ink lay down sequence is a crucial aspect from technical perspective during printing which affects the print quality. The sequence of colors is very important for the print quality in the Sheet-fed Offset. This research paper delineated the variation in the print contrast of colors due to variation of different ink sequences. Although CMYK and KCMY are the standardized sequences for offset lithography but there are possibilities of printing by five different color sequences namely CMYK, MYCK, YMCK, KCMY and KYMC. To identify the effect of ink sequence in Sheet-fed Offset print quality, prepared a master and done printing in the local printing press of repute. After printing on Art and Map litho paper the result was analyzed.

Abstract

Like every other industry, paper and paperboard packaging industry also produces waste. The Indian packaging industry is growing at a rapid rate with the increasing demand for highly specific and sophisticated product. The expanding middle class and rising income levels, the patterns of consumption are bound to change substantially and the demand for high quality and convenience based products is increasing day by day. Concurrently the increased global interaction and quality consciousness among the consumers have influenced the aesthetic and quality norms at a high standard. So in order to maintain the packaging industry in economy and to ensure that this industry does not pose threat to our fixture generation an intensive study was carried out to have a closer look on the waste generated in the paper/paper board packaging industry. After observing the different departments and the waste generated in them have been classifies into the two categories i.e. solid and hazardous wastes. The main aim of this paper is to give a systematic and organized details of the different kinds of waste generated in the paper/paperboard packaging industry so that they can be efficiently monitored and managed for reuse or disposal which is not only in the betterment of the society also for the industry.

Keywords

Abstract

This research paper delineated the variations in ink density due to different ink sequences on Art and Maplitho paper substrate. Density has always been an important aspect and the most exclusively evaluated term during printing. As density effects print quality, so it has been considered of greater importance across the in this modem technological time. The sequence of colors or ink sequence is an important factor effecting print quality in Sheet-fed Offset printing. Five different ink sequences CMYK, MYCK, YMCK, KCMY and KYMC were used on Art and Maplitho paper substrate for study. The main aim of this paper is to investigate impact of these sequences on density of Art and Maplitho paper during printing.

Keywords

Ink Sequence, Density Maplitho Paper, Offset Printing, Art Paper.

Abstract

Waste management is important nowadays because of increasing population which increases demand leading to the increase in number of industries which in turn increases industrial waste. As population continues to grow, we need to identify better ways of managing the byproducts of our lifestyles to cope up with the changing environment. Increasing landfill costs in the not too distant futures could have a significant impact on printing packaging businesses that cannot avoid, reduce, reuse, or recycle their waste. Moreover world is facing a great threat of global warming and climate change and if necessary steps to control the pollution and waste are not undertaken today, the day is not far when we will have to face the calamities caused by over mother. The Earth. Printers, like many other businesses accumulate waste. The waste come from a variety of activities-such as plate making, image processing, printing and finishing-and differs according to the type of printing processes used. To reduce wastes, packaging businesses will need to focus on waste management rather than waste disposal. This paper illustrates and explains the techniques used for the waste management in the printing and packaging industry. This will require a shift in attitudes and practices with an emphasis on preventing and reducing rather than on treating and disposing of wastes. Whatever the nature and characteristics of the waste may be, it all has one thing in common: all waste represent loss of resources and money. So, waste management not only controls pollution but also prevents printers from facing fines, lawsuits along with saving money. Thus right management at right time is call of the hour.

Abstract

Packaging is the technique of using most appropriate containers and component to protect, carry, identify and merchandise any product. Due to ever increasing population especially the urban population and rising living standards of people the demands for the packaged dairy products are rising rapidly since the past decade. To meet these demands it becomes inevitable to preserve the products in safe and healthy conditions and this can be achieved only through proper packaging. As the shelf life of the unpacked dairy products are very short the only way to protect their hygiene and keep them safe from various environmental, microbiological, handling and transportation hazards is.

Abstract

Printing Technology has been a great invention in the history of mankind. Printing has grown exponentially over the period of time since its invention as it is the most powerful method of mass-communication and it is still considered as a viable and trusted tool of disseminating ideas and information in a country like India rather the digitalization is at its helm. The main objective of this research paper is to analyze the different futuristic trends and techniques used in printing industry. During research, a survey on 5 large scales, 8 medium scales and 12 small scale industries was taken into consideration.These printing industries were surveyed to find out the techniques used by them presently and their futuristic plan to incorporate the latest techniques available in the market in their prepress and press sections using an extensively framed questionnaire.
