Three broad categories of packaging-consumer packaging, industrial packaging and military packaging-all require different technologies. This handbook addresses the first category, which is characterized by small units in large numbers, whether they are retail or institutional items. This volume addresses the visual display of those units that have sales objectives. It also considers protection, cost, convenience and appearance, which is the order of priority for institutional items. This is the only text of its kind, and so is essential for packaging engineers, as well as technologists who design packaging material and designers who create the visual appeal of a unit. This fourth edition provides the same content that has made it so successful, such as a profile of packaging techniques and procedures, and it introduces new chapters on testing and equipment.
