WHAT ARE ANCILLARY PACKAGING MATERIALS?
• Secondary packaging material• Add value to primary package• Improve performance • Absence or inadequacy, impairs the
performance of primary package

HOW DO THEY ADD VALUE?
• Prevent contamination
• Enhance visibility
• Bind packaging materials
• Improve strength
• Prevent product damage
• Hold system together S.K.SARAVANA,
CAPS AND CLOSURES

CAPS AND CLOSURES
• MAJOR CLOSURE SYSTEMS:
• Lids
• Aerosol valves
• Threaded closures
• Crowns
• Lug capsS.K.SARAVANA,
FUNCTION OF CLOSURE SYSTEM• Product protection spoilage & contamination in
storage & transportation• Preservation of product over stipulated timeA) Providing barrier to moisture, air, gases, vapors of
volatile liquidsB) Holding vacuum and pressureC) Preserve organoleptic properties• Protection against pilferage, tampering &
adulteration• Provide ease of opening & resealing• Provide convenience in dispensing
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
THE CLOSURE SHOULD…
• Not hinder dispensing • Neither affect nor get affected by product• Not release any toxic ingredients into the
product• Withstand processing, sterilizing, pasteurizing,
autoclaving etc. i.e., steps that may be involved in its life-cycle.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FACTORS FOR SELECTION OF CLOSURES
• Product characteristics• Dispensing mechanism• Compatibility• Dimensional stability• Environmental stress cracking resistance• Heat resistance• Thread matching tolerances• Cost

INKS
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
INKS• Inks are colored liquids or pastes,
formulated to transfer and reproduce an image from a printing surface
• Components of Inks: Pigments/dyes, vehicle, solvent & additives
• Convey a message• Give a decorative effect to the
substrate• Inks are used on a wide range of
papers, boards, plastic, glass and textiles surface
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
TYPES OF INKS
• Printing Inks Rotogravure Inks Flexographic Inks Offset Inks
Screen Inks
• Specialty Inks Marking Inks Night Glow Inks Textile Inks UV Inks Fluorescent Inks
• Surface CoatingsS.K.SARAVANA,
SELECTION OF INK
• Types of printing process
• Type of substrate
• Application
• Finish
• Drying process

ADHESIVES
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
ADHESIVES
• Adhesive/glue is a mixture in a liquid, semi-liquid, solid state that adheres or bonds items together
• Adhesives come from either natural or synthetic sources
• Used to bind similar and dissimilar materials
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
CLASSIFICATION OF ADHESIVES
• ON BASIS OF SOURCE:• Natural: Starch, dextrines, animal
and plant proteins, natural rubber, shellac
• Semi-synthetic: Cellulose nitrate, polyamide derivatives
• Synthetic: Neoprene and PVA adhesives.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
CLASSIFICATION OF ADHESIVES
• Waterborne Adhesives
• Solvent–borne Adhesives
• Hot–melt Adhesives
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
WATER-BORNE ADHESIVES
• Largest volume class of adhesive used in packaging
• General advantages of ease and safety of handling, energy efficiency, low cost and high strength
• Common waterborne adhesives: Starch adhesive
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
SOLVENT–BORNE ADHESIVES• Adhesives in which volatile organic
compounds are the major solvent or dispersant
• Solvents: Heptane, toluene, n-butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, naphtha, mineral spirits and methylene chloride
• Factors of cost, safety, productivity and above all, compliance with clean-air law have led to decline in use of these adhesives
• Commonly used adhesive: Polyurethane adhesives
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
HOT–MELT ADHESIVES
• Hot melts - 100% solids adhesive
• Based on thermoplastic polymers that are applied when heated in the molten state and set to form a bond on cooling and solidification
• Fastest growing important class of adhesives in packaging
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
HOT–MELT ADHESIVES
• Co-polymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
• Excellent balance of molten stability, adhesion and toughness over a broad temperature range and compatibility
• Advantage: Rapid rate of bond formation, which can translate into high production rates on a packaging line.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FEATURES OF A GOOD ADHESIVE
• The adhesive must retain tack after solvents are removed to wet the secondary substrate
• The adhesive must be flexible and retain elasticity even after it has cured
• It should not become hard and brittle• The cured adhesive must possess the required
level of thermal and chemical resistance• The cured adhesive must also be transparent and
colorless

ADHESIVE TAPES
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
ADHESIVE TAPES• Combination of an adhesive and a backing
material• Available in rolls of fixed length and width• Classification of basis of backing material: Fabric tapes, paper tapes, film tapes, non-woven
fabric tapes, foil tapes, foam tapes, reinforced tapes, two faced tapes
• Classification of basis of application: Packaging tapes, hospital and first-aid tapes, graphic art tapes, electrical tapes, automobile industry tapes etc.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
ADHESIVES USED IN TAPES• Rubber based adhesives:• Advantages: Relatively cheap, high tack and adhesion,
easy to formulate• Disadvantages: Softens and flows at high temperature• Acrylic based adhesives: • Advantages: Excellent adhesion and stable at relatively
high temperatures• Disadvantages: Costlier• Silicon based adhesives: • Advantages: Good tack, withstand temperatures
beyond 155oC• Disadvantages: Very Costly

REINFORCEMENTS
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
REINFORCEMENTS
• Reinforcement: Enhance strength of packaging
• Better ability to withstand rough handling conditions
• Classification: • Metallic: Round wires and
steel straps• Non-metallic: Polyester,
Nylon, polypropylene, rayon.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FUNCTION OF STRAPS
• Secure a handling base (skids, platforms, pallets, runners, spacers, etc.) to a unit
• Strap may be used for local securement or within the transport vehicle
• Straps also provide security against accidental loss or theft of the contents
• Different packages can be color coded with strapping for easy identification in warehouses.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
PROPERTIES OF STRAPS
• Strength• Working range• Retained tension• Elongation recovery• Surface slipperiness• Abrasion resistance• Split resistance• Joint/weld strength
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Use correct quality of straps and seals• Use proper size of straps and seals• Locate the strap on package correctly• Use edge protection material as required• Use proper tools and equipments• Provide proper tension levels

CUSHIONING MATERIALS
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
CUSHIONING MATERIALS
• Protects the article from damage due to shock and vibration
• During transport, package is subjected to vibration, movement and jolts
• Cushioning material prevents product damage, abrasion of surfaces, friction over sharp projection
• Cushioning materials: Foams, paper shreds, cotton waste, sand etc.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FUNCTIONS OF CUSHIONING MATERIALS
• Shock protection• Protection of high-finished
surface• Protection of small
projection on articles• Filling of void space

CLIPS
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
CLIPS
• Used to retain tension• Used for reinforcement• Types: Metal and plastic

LABELS
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
FUNCTIONS OF LABELS
• To identify the product• Provide ingredients• Purpose/use of the products• Providing aesthetic appeal• Child safety• Other information like
maximum retail price (MRP), Batch No, Shelf-life/Best-before date etc.
S.K.SARAVANA, [email protected]
TYPES OF LABELS
• Adhesive labels• Shrink/stretch sleeve labels• In-mould labels
