Types Of Packaging And Labeling Material

For any commercial product, packaging and labeling goes hand in hand

. If you are a commercial product manufacturer, you need to know as much about the packaging as the labeling. After all any product package is incomplete without labeling. Being a good business dealer, you must have knowledge about the material used for finishing of product so that you are not fooled by packaging and labeling companies.

Types of labeling material

Coated paper

This is the most basic type of label that you can find anywhere around. They are fragile than anyone of its group and are tend to tear easily. They are made of paper with a thin coating, which can be glossy, dull, or matte. The purpose of coating the paper is to produce sharper and brighter image, and also to have better reflectivity. They are printed with ink jet, laser printer, or Hp Indigo press.

Laminated paper

This material is a better option over coated paper. Though they are also made of paper but are joined together with two or more layers of extremely thin plastic. It is good for liquid products because even if paper tears the plastic layer will hold the ink.

Polypropylene

Thermoplastic substrates are usually used to make labels, which make them resistant to heat, cold, humidity, damage and flexing. Obviously, it is a tough material and is appropriate for bottled water labeling.

Synthetic composite

It is latest in the market. This material combines polyolefin and silica filler. Strangely, it looks like heavyweight paper and even behaves like paper while printing, yet it is quite strong, long lasting and resistant to water.

Types of packaging material

Primary packaging: As the name suggests, it is the first envelop that covers the product and holds it. The material used for primary packaging is typically under direct contact of the content, say bottle, carton box, etc. Therefore this is called the smallest unit of distribution. Some examples are:

Bags-In-Boxes

Aerosol osol spray can

Wine box

Bottles

Beverage can

Blister packs

Carton

Cushioning

Plastic bags

Plastic bottles

Envelopes

Skin pack

Wrappers

Tin can

Secondary packaging: It comes after primary packaging and therefore is outside of the primary one. It may look like group packaging. Types of material used for the purpose are:

Shrink wrap

Cartons

Boxes

Tertiary packaging: This is used for bulky products and to make them survive under rough handling and during shipping. Strong materials are used for this purpose, like

Barrel

Crate

Bales

Container

Pallets

edge protector

Slip Sheet

Stretch wrap

Intermediate bulk container

Insulated shipping container

Flexible intermediate bulk container, Big bag, Bulk Bags, or Super Sacks
