PACKAGING

N.Poomagal
(201022003)
Simply, packaging may be defined as that the material, form or
vessel that contain a product.
Definition by institute of packaging professionals is:
“The enclosure of products, items or packages in a wrap, pouch,
bag, box , cup, tray , can ,tube , bottle or other container form to
perform one or more of more following major functions:
containment for handling , transportation and use; preservation
and protection of the contents for required shelf and use life and
sometimes protection of external environment from any hazards
of contact with contents; identification of contents, quantity,
quality and manufacturer- usually by means of printing ,
decoration , labeling , package shape or transparency; facilitate
dispensing and use . If the device or container performs one or
more of these functions, it is packages.”
• Consumer packages • Industrial packages
• CONTAINMENT

• PROTECTION
 Physical protection
 Barrier protection
 Security

• COMMUNICATION
 Information transmission
 Marketing

• UTILITY

Packaging has been described as “one of the
most complex functions in business today”. It is
also a function that is cross-disciplinary in nature.
Typically , the package not only must fulfill the
four functions mentioned above but also must
maintain the quality of the product ; act as a
marketer ; cut or at least contain cost related to
the materials used in the packaging ; and
minimize distribution, handling , and storage
costs. To accomplish effectively these and many
other requirements , packaging must function in
a cross-disciplinary environment.
The integrated design model involves a focus
on the simplification of the product and
packaging design process and controllable
variables such as form and dimension factors
in the product properties and shape and size
components in the package.it also requires a
focus on integrating design engineering
information and communication.
Proper use and utilization of the integrated design
model provides a number of benifits as follows:

• Optimizes qualitative and quatifiable design processes for


the state of the art in product and packaging design.
• Reduces the necessity of redesign for packaging by getting
it involved earlt in the design process, instead of as an
afterthought.
• Integrates desin requirements with manufacturing
technology,distribution constraints,marketing needs,etc
• Centralizes cost estimation efforts.
• Employs a design team technique to eliminate “design
department” barriers.
• Package development involves considerations for
sustainability, environmental responsibility, and
applicable environmental and recycling
regulations. It may involve a life cycle assessment
which considers the material and energy inputs
and outputs to the package, the packaged product
(contents), the packaging process, the logistics
system, waste management, etc. It is necessary to
know the relevant regulatory requirements for
point of manufacture, sale, and use.
• The traditional “three R’s” of reduce, reuse, and
recycle are part of a waste hierarchy which may be
considered in product and package development.
Points under environmental
consideration
•Prevention
•Minimization
•Reuse
•Recycling
•Energy recovery
•Disposal
A choice of packaging machinery includes: technical ,
labor requirements, worker safety, maintainability ,
Serviceability , reliability, ability to integrate into the
packaging line, capital cost, floor space, flexibility
(change-over, materials, etc.), energy usage , quality of
outgoing packages, qualifications (for food,
pharmaceuticals, etc.), throughput, efficiency,
productivity, ergonomics , return on investment , etc.
 
Packaging machines may be of the
following general types:
• Accumulating and Collating Machines
• Box, Case and Tray Forming, Packing, Unpacking,
Closing and Sealing Machines
• Bottle caps equipment, Over-Capping, Lidding,
Closing, Seaming and Sealing Machines
• Package Filling and Closing Machines
• Coding, Printing, Marking, Stamping, and
Imprinting Machines
• Form, Fill and Seal Machines
