· Complete one-volume reference to English-language packaging terminology · Defines terms for materials, manufacturing, converting and printing · Covers packaging processes, measurement units, and analytic techniques · Revised and updated with new terms
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comprising over 4,500 definitions, many illustrated, the Glossary of Packaging Terminology provides in one handy reference book a detailed explanation of the often arcane, English-language terminology that denotes the materials and manufacturing processes used in all phases of the packaging industry. This is an indispensable reference for all who use packaging technology.
 The book concentrates on the material components of packaging, ranging from wood and metal to the latest plastics. At the same time, the book presents many illustrated descriptions of the machinery and processes whereby packaging materials are formed. Definitions are also provided for the words used in packaging converting and printing, with attention paid to testing. Filling processes and machinery are covered in detail.
 New to this volume are technical terms related to sustainability and green manufacturing. Also defined are hundreds of terms unique to the United States packaging industry.
