This book discusses all the main types of packaging based on paper and paperboard. It considers
the raw materials and manufacture of paper and paperboard, and the basic properties and features on
which packaging made from these materials depends for its appearance and performance. The manufacture
of twelve types of paper- and paperboard-based packaging is described, together with their end-use
applications and the packaging machinery involved. The importance of pack design is stressed, and how
these materials offer packaging designers opportunities for imaginative and innovative design solutions.
Environmental and waste management issues are addressed in a separate chapter.
The book is directed at those joining companies which manufacture packaging grades of paper and
paperboard, companies involved in the design, printing and production of packaging, and companies
which manufacture inks, coatings, adhesives and packaging machinery. It will be essential reading for students
of packaging technology.
