Packaging Case Study

In Figure 4, Young's modulus is plotted against yield strength. The diagonal line in the figure represents the material index M= σy/E. Materials below the diagonal line are the best candidate materials because they will remain elastic while providing the maximum conformability. All materials that cost more than $2.20 per pound and have a UV rating of "poor" were eliminated. Also, only materials that can be made through the polymer extrusion process were considered. The candidate materials are listed in Table 1 and ranked by the material index. The current material, TPV, is included in the table for

For example, packaging materials such as glass, paper and board, plastics and metals help protect the food item from UV rays/ light during the transportation process. By allowing this, helps prevent the growth of micro- organisms within the product. As well as this, packaging helps prevent rancidity in fats. If rancidity is not prevented, unpleasant odours and flavours within the food item are present, resulting in the wastage of the good. Along within this, packaging helps prevent the cross contamination of goods, when being transported from one area to another. Therefore, the Agriculture and Fisheries sector benefit from packaging, as they are able to prevent the wastage of products being transported, as well as being able to uphold a high reputation of the business by marketing high-quality goods.

The following qualitative annotated bibliography is a quick summary of articles that are important for my research about antimicrobial food packaging. Moreover, it includes my opinion about the content of the articles and the evaluation of the materials. I have a background in Food Engineering and I am very interested in helping to reduce food waste by increasing the shelf life of edible products using antimicrobial food packaging. Furthermore, by using these kinds of package it would be possible to reduce chemical food preservatives as well as maintain food quality.

I am very happy to know how you have other suggestions in Hot Melt Adhesive that you would like Ken Idle to test.

Conventional shipping cartons have ventilation holes which allows air to circulate around the product, but this also allows the produce to continue ripening and exposes to bacteria and pathogens, which contributes to loss. FreshTec’s patented packaging technology employs a breathable plastic liner inside a cardboard carton, which is sealed with a plastic lid. It’s part of a growing segment of food packaging using modified atmosphere technology. The liner and plastic lid slow the amount of oxygen entering the carton and also traps some of the carbon dioxide the produce expels, effectively putting it to sleep for up to a month of travel time. Overall, FreshTec provides more time for produce to reach the market, which reduce the likelihood of loss or waste.

However today, it is not enough to optimize the cost of packaging. They are aware that they must offer a product concept in an innovative packaging to meet the new challenges of a saturated market, to differentiate from the new generation of consumers and fight global economic threats.

Good packages can help preserve food and prolong its shelf life during storage, transport retailing and consumption.

All testing was carried out using DMA with a cantilever setup. Two different tests were carried out. For the first test, the HDPE was held at a constant temperature of 31°C and varying stresses were applied for two seconds at a time, during which the strain in the sample was recorded.

ABC material can categorized the coating material based on performance and dangerous use. For example, the polyester coating system is designed to be applied as a one coat or two-coat system on an aluminum substrate. Applying a polyester coating can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Polyester coating has excellent exposure characteristics, formability, and mar resistance. Polyester coating can be evaluated for a ABC level of companies stated performance level of resistance, formability, and exposure characteristics that is measured periodic of over time. The product polyester is a end product to the coil. It is designed for applications requiring a durable indoor/outdoor coated aluminum product. Common uses include residential or commercial building products, transportation products and lighting fixtures. Embracing the forces of nature, the finish on our coated rainwear coil implements a self-cleaning feature, whereby the coil will chalk in a controlled manner over time by releasing microscopic particles of pigment. This allows rain to wash away any surface dirt leaving a clean appearance for years to come. In other words, a part failure to meet standard or objective stated by company causes product or process failure as a critical part. Again, ABC material criticality has different levels, which are A-critical, B-critical, C-critical. A-critical is top ranking group 25%. B-critical is next 25 %. C-critical is

Zein is very useful in the industrial world due to its tough, glossy, hydrophobic, greaseproof and antimicrobial properties. However, the high cost of zein

7.59 From the stress–strain data for poly(methyl methacrylate) shown in Figure 7.24, determine the modulus of elasticity and tensile strength at room temperature [20°C (68°F)], and compare these values with those given in Tables 7.1 and 7.2.

When considering the implementation of plain packaging it is hoped withdrawing the distractions of colourful packaging with different design elements and replacing them with a standard colour, larger health warnings and standard font may influence the perception of the harm the

A disadvantage of plastic moulding compounds is that they are hydrophilic and absorb moisture when exposed to a humid environment [4]. This popcorn-like explosion happens when moisture that is trapped inside the moulding compound becomes heated and vaporized during the solder joint reflow process and the only way for it to escape is to expand the moulding compound until it cracks and the vapor is released. After investigated the moisture sensitivity in several surface mount packages that included SOJ, PLCC, TQFP, and PQFP packages. A researcher studied the moisture induced failures of Ball Grid Array packages such as PBGA and TBGA. They showed that baking the chips at 115°C for sixteen hours essentially removes most of the moisture content from the package, and reduces the possibility of the interfacial delamination and popcorn cracking of the package. By encountering this popcorn cracking, it is used to propose a new lead frame design for improved reliability of these

What do I deem to be safe packaging vs. harmful packaging? There are numerous things that come to mind for both of these. Looking for an example of the two for each was pretty interesting. What I noticed when I went to the local grocery store there are a plethora of harmful packaging opposed to ecofriendly packaging.

The country produces a majority of fresh produce, which is perishable without proper packaging before transportation. These products require “technical knowledge regarding handling” (ITA, 2017) which often times will causes delays in delivery. The chain to large supermarkets runs smoothly because of the high demand for workers who will acknowledge the strict measures that are required for packaging foods.
