Packaging Essentials

This book outlines and demonstrates basic package design guidelines and rules through 100 principles in the areas of research, planning, and execution. This book is a quick reference and primer on package design, and the principles that make design projects successful. Highly visual and appealing to beginning designers, students, and working designers as a resource. The content helps to establish the rules and guides designers in knowing when and where to bend them. Visual examples demonstrate each principle so readers can see the principle at work in applied design.

Laying foundations and guidelines for best practice when designing contemporary packaging, this title tackles design basics such as format, layout and typography and takes into account genre-specific elements such as product information, branding, marketing and legislation.

LEARN ABOUT MICROSYSTEMS PACKAGING FROM THE GROUND UP Written by Rao Tummala, the field’s leading author, Fundamentals of Microsystems Packaging is the only book to cover the field from wafer to systems, including every major contributing technology. This rigorous and thorough introduction to electronic packaging technologies gives you a solid grounding in microelectronics, photonics, RF, packaging design, assembly, reliability, testing, and manufacturing and its relevance to both semiconductors and systems. You’ll find: *Full coverage of electrical, mechanical, chemical, and materials aspects of each technology *Easy-to-read schematics and block diagrams *Fundamental approaches to all system issues *Examples of all common configurations and technologies—wafer level packaging, single chip, multichip, RF, opto-electronic, microvia boards, thermal and others *Details on chip-to-board connections, sealing and encapsulation, and manufacturing processes *Basics of electrical and reliability testing

Packaging remains the most effective medium through which goods can be made available to the consumer wherever he resides. The Essentials of Packaging: A Guide for Micro, Small, and Medium Sized Businesses has been written to guide manufacturers or anyone who has any marketable product to package. As the books title shows, some emphasis has been focused on MSMEs that are at a disadvantage for various reasons, among which is their lack of financial muscle to engage full-time packaging professionals to handle their packaging needs on a routine basis.

ASME Press Book Series on Electronic Packaging. Series Editor: Dereje Agonafer. This book provides the basic essentials and fundamentals of electronic packaging technology. It introduces the language and terminology, as well as the basic building blocks of information processing technology such as: a) printed wiring boards and laminates, b) various types of components and packages, c) materials and processes, d) fundamentals of reliability and relevant reliability enhancement methods, and e) typical failures observed are described. A fully tested semiconductor device is the starting point for this text. Thus, no background in the semiconductor design or fabrication is assumed. The reader is exposed to the interaction and convergence of various disciplines such as chemistry, physics, materials science, metallurgy, process engineering in the fabrication of an electronic appliance. The reader is also made aware of the emerging trends in electronic packaging to prepare him or her for the near-term miniaturization and integration of technology trends.

Packaging is a complex and wide-ranging subject. Comprehensive in scope and authoritative in its coverage, Packaging technology provides the ideal introduction and reference for both students and experienced packaging professionals. Part one provides a context for the book, discussing fundamental issues relating to packaging such as its role in society and its diverse functions, the packaging supply chain and legislative, environmental and marketing issues. Part two reviews the principal packaging materials such as glass, metal, plastics, paper and paper board. It also discusses closures, adhesives and labels. The final part of the book discusses packaging processes, from design and printing to packaging machinery and line operations, as well as hazard and risk management in packaging. With its distinguished editors and expert contributors, Packaging technology is a standard text for the packaging industry. The book is designed both to meet the needs of those studying for the Diploma in Packaging Technology and to act as a comprehensive reference for packaging professionals. Provides the ideal introduction and reference for both students and experienced packaging professionals Examines fundamental issues relating to packaging, such as its role in society, its diverse functions, the packaging supply chain and legislative, environmental and marketing issues Reviews the principal packaging materials such as glass, metal, plastics, paper and paper board

Essentials of Food Science covers the basics of foods, food science, and food technology. The book is meant for the non-major intro course, whether taught in the food science or nutrition/dietetics department. In previous editions the book was organized around the USDA Food Pyramid which has been replaced. The revised pyramid will now be mentioned in appropriate chapters only. Other updates include new photos, website references, and culinary alerts for culinary and food preparation students. Two added topics include RFID (Radio frequency ID) tags, and trans fat disclosures. Includes updates on: food commodities, optimizing quality, laws, and food safety.

Packaging Sustainability Take the lead with sustainable package design solutions The classic role of packaging is to “Protect, Inform, and Sell.” Today, packaging must do all that—but with minimal eco-impact. Packaging Sustainability: Tools, Systems, and Strategies for Innovative Package Design is a comprehensive guide to thinking outside the box to create practical, cost-effective, and eco-responsible packaging. With a broad range of contributions from pioneers of sustainability, Packaging Sustainability not only describes the concepts of sustainability but reveals the logic behind them, providing you with the tools to sift through and adapt to the ever changing barrage of materials, services, regulations, and mandates. The book: Enables the designer to make smart, informed decisions at all points throughout the packaging design process Offers a comprehensive overview of sustainable packaging design issues from leading practitioners, designers, engineers, marketers, psychologists, and ecologists Describes materials and processes in current use and helps the reader understand how they interconnect With solid information and actionable ideas, Packaging Sustainability gives you all the tools for maximizing a product’s shelf impact—while minimizing its ecological footprint.

Unlike other packaging titles, which simply provide templates to copy, this book enables designers of all packaging types to create 3-D packaging forms that are specific to their needs rather than based on an existing design. It teaches a simple ‘net’ construction system – a one-piece 2-D configuration of card seen when a 3-D package is opened out and flattened – which enables the designer to create a huge number of very strong 3-D packaging forms that are both practical and imaginative. Each chapter concludes with photographs and net drawings of 6–10 creative examples of packaging designs made using the principles outlined in the preceding chapter. Structural Packaging gives the reader an understanding of the underlying principles of packaging construction and the technical knowledge and confidence to develop a greater number of their own unusual and innovative designs than any comparable book.
