Now in its second edition, this is a comprehensive guide to all materials used in all types of packaging today. Both traditional and new plastic and composite materials are covered. All materials are described in reference to specific packaging applications. In addition to external packaging materials, a variety of ancillary packaging materials are examined, including adhesives, inks and labels. The many different plastics materials available for packaging are each discussed in detail. In addition to properties and performance information on each material, energy-use, environmental and economic aspects are also examined. Market and properties data are conveniently presented in 28 tables. Package constructions and machinery are illustrated by 15 diagrams. One chapter is devoted to a survey of the current literature on packaging. A very detailed index facilitates look-up of needed information.

Ten years ago, the first edition of Cartons, Crates and Corrugated Board quickly became the standard reference book for wood- and paper-based packaging. Endorsed by TAPPI and other professional societies and used as a textbook worldwide, the book has now been extensively revised and updated by a team formed by the original authors and two additional authors. While preserving the critical performance and design data of the previous edition, this second expanded edition offers new information on the technologies, tests and regulations impacting the paper and corrugated industries worldwide, with a special focus on Europe and Japan.New information has been added on tests and novel designs for folded cartons, as well as expanded discussions of paperboard selection for specific applications, emerging barrier packaging, food contact and migration, and the dynamics and opportunities of corrugated in distribution systems. Recent developments on recycling and sustainability are also highlighted.
