{"product_id":"9780323264365","title":"Manufacturing Flexible Packaging : Materials, Machinery, and Techniques (Plastics Design Library)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEfficiently 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Andrew Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755426291960,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":430.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780323264365-1.jpg?v=1783587194","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9780323264365","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
