Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficiently and profitably delivering quality flexible packaging to the marketplace requires designing and manufacturing products that are both "fit-to-use" and "fit-to-make". The engineering function in a flexible packaging enterprise must attend to these dual design challenges. Flexible Packaging discusses the basic processes used to manufacture flexible packaging products, including rotogravure printing, flexographic printing, adhesive lamination, extrusion lamination/coating; and finishing/slitting. These processes are then related to the machines used to practice them, emphasising the basics of machines’ control systems , and options to minimize wasted time and materials between production jobs. Raw materials are also considered, including the three basic forms: Rollstock (paper, foil, plastic films); Resin; and Wets (inks, varnishes, primers). Guidance is provided on both material selection, and on adding value through enhancement or modification of the materials’ physical features. A ‘measures’ section covers both primary material features – such as tensile, elongation, modulus and elastic and plastic regions – and secondary quality characteristics such as seal and bond strengths, coefficient of friction, oxygen barrier and moisture vapour barrier. Helps engineers improve existing raw material selection and manufacturing processes for manufacturing functional flexible packaging materials. Covers all aspects of delivering high value packaging to the customer – from the raw materials, to the methods of processing them, the machines used to do it, and the measures required to gauge the characteristics of the product. Helps engineers to minimize waste and unproductive time in production.

It serves as a source for students, professionals and packaging engineers who need to know more about the characteristics, applications and consequences of different packaging materials in food-packaging interactions. This book is divided into 13 chapters and focuses on the agro-food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. The first four chapters cover traditional packaging materials: wood, paper and cardboard, glass and metal. The next two deal, respectively, with plastics and laminates. Biobased materials are then covered, followed by a presentation of active and smart packaging. Some chapters are also dedicated to providing information on caps and closures as well as auxiliary materials. Different food packaging methods are presented, followed by an investigation into the design and labelling of packaging. The book ends with a chapter presenting information on how the choice of packaging material is dependent on the characteristics of the food products to be packaged.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been considerable recent growth in the use of flexible pouch packaging for heat preserved foods, which has generated new opportunities for presentation of products ranging from meats, vegetables, and rice and pasta ready-foods to sauces, desserts and pet food. Such products can be ambient stable or chilled and include many of the socalled REPFEDs (refrigerated pasteurised foods of extended durability). These developments have created the need for up-to-date guidance on in-pack heat processing of such products, to encourage and enable the adoption of good manufacturing practice. This document provides this guidance Based on CCFRA's long established Guidelines on GMP for sterilisable flexible packaging operations for low acid foods (Technical Manual No. 4), this extensively revised and updated guide has been developed by a group of representatives actively involved in the manufacture and development of these types of products. It takes in packaging requirements (preformed, reel fed and secondary), filling techniques, sealing conditions, processing (both pasteurisation and sterilisation) and transportation. It also includes information on recommended quality assurance checks and on pouch defects. Written with a strong practical stance, the guide will be of use to both food and packaging companies using flexible sterilisable packaging for food and drink products.
