Glossary of Terms 2 Forward – The EMA Guide to Envelopes & Mailing The envelope is only a folded piece of paper yet it is an important part of our national communications system. The power of the envelope is the power to touch someone else in a very personal way. The envelope has been used to convey important messages of national interest or just to say “hello.” It may contain a greeting card sent to a friend or relative, a bill or other important notice. The envelope never bothers you during the dinner hour nor does it shout at you in the middle of a television program. The envelope is a silent messenger – a very personal way to tell someone you care or get them interested in your product or service. Many people purchase envelopes over the counter and have never stopped to think about everything that goes into the production of an envelope.

  • Triangle Accordion Books Part 2
    “Part Two: Assembling the book” Time from start to finish = 1 hour You will need the following materials: • Heavy paper, which will be cut into three 4 5/8” X 20” strips, the best option is to cut these strips from one large 22” X 30” sheet of watercolor paper (this will be used for the inner “accordion” of the book) • 2 pieces of chipboard or thick cardboard, 6x6 inches each • Painted paper or scrapbooking paper at least 6x6 inches in size • Pencil • Ruler • Glue (regular white glue or glue sticks) • Clean scrap paper, computer paper or newsprint is good • X-acto Knife or scissors • Cutting matt (or a piece of scrap cardboard to protect your work surface) Brief description: The next part of our process is to measure, cut and assemble your book. This part is made up of several smaller steps within each major step and requires precise measurement and patience. For Part Two, I suggest making a cup of your favorite tea and putting on some relaxing music in the background. While, this may be the most challenging step for some, if you follow the instructions closely and don’t rush, you should come out of it with a fully assembled book ready for creative alteration and decoration! For those new to bookmaking here are a few helpful hints: • Measure! Measure! Measure!: Nothing is more disappointing than assembling several pieces only to find at the final step that they don’t quite fit, especially when you’re out of materials to try again! During this process, we will be measuring out strips of paper, then folding, cutting and gluing them together at specific points.

  • The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes
    The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the Graphic Communication California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Graphic Communication; e.g. Bachelor of Science by Corbin Nakamura March, 2010 © 2010 Corbin Nakamura Table of Contents Abstract 3 I - Introduction and Purpose of Study 4 II - Literature Review 7 III - Research Methods 22 IV - Results 28 V - Conclusions 34 2 Abstract Counterfeit goods continue to undermine the value of genuine artifacts. This also applies to counterfeit banknotes, a significant counterfeit problem in today’s rapidly growing world of technology. The following research explores anti-counterfeit printing methods for banknotes from various countries and evaluates which are the most effective for eliminating counterfeit. The research methods used in this study consists primarily of elite and specialized interviewing accompanied with content analysis. Three professionals currently involved in the security- printing industry were interviewed and provided the most current information about banknote security printing. Conclusions were reached that the most effective security printing methods for banknotes rest upon the use of layering features, specifically both overt and covert features. This also includes the use of a watermark, optical variable inks, and the intaglio printing process. It was also found that despite the plethora of anti-counterfeit methods, the reality is that counterfeit will never be eliminated. Unfortunately, counterfeit banknotes will remain apart of our world. The battle against counterfeit banknotes will have to incorporate new tactics, such as improving public education, creating effective law enforcement, and relieving extreme poverty so that counterfeit does not have to take place.

  • Protection Coat for Banknotes

Like the famous Thaler coins, it travels from one hand to another, transforming in the process from a clean note to a wrinkled, dirty scrap of paper.

  • Technical Drawing: Selecting Your Paper
    Published on L'atelier Canson (https://www.lateliercanson.com) Accueil > Technical drawing: Selecting your paper Retour à la liste d'articles [1] Technical drawing: Selecting your paper [2] Le matériel [5] Notez cet article Give Technical drawing: ? Selecting your paper 3/5 Taux Texture, format, thickness, grid: a wide range of paper, tracing paper and transparent film readily adapts to all your creations. 1. Grammage It conditions the paper's thickness and is measured as grams per square meter: fine papers (under 90 g/m²) are appropriate for sketching, intermediate (up to 200 g/m²), adapt to most kinds of work, thick (300 g and more) are designed for wet media such as watercolor. 2. Format It is standardized and comes in six formats: from A0 (1 (m)2), up to A5 (the smallest one). Each format represents half of the previous one. Most used are the two classics, A3 and A4. 3. Texture The quality of a technical drawing relies on perfect lines: opt for slightly textured paper, whether fine grained or satin finish, and even completely smooth, such as Bristol board. Memo: There?s a paper for every medium Graphite: white or slightly tinted (beige, ocher, gray?). Color pencils: fine grained to make the pigments hold. Markers: paper known as "layout" paper holds ink and limits smudges. 4. Graph paper Technical drawing implies high precision. Choose it taking your subject's constraints into account. White drawing paper and Bristol board are available as graph paper. The covers of "to scale" pads of tracing paper come as 5 mm grid charts.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da adição de diferentes porcentagens de celulose nanofibrilada sobre as propriedades mecânicas e físicas do papel feito a partir da polpa de fibras curtas. A celulose nanofibrilada foi obtida a partir de polpa Kraft de Eucalyptus sp. branqueada, submetida a três diferentes passes no moinho: 2, 10 e 20 passes. Os papéis foram produzidos com a adição de celulose nanofibrilada nas porcentagens de 3, 6 e 9%. Os resultados mostraram que a adição de celulose nanofibrilada aumentou as propriedades mecânicas: índice de tração, índice de arrebentamento e índice de rasgo. A porosidade e a densidade aparente diminuíram. A adição de 9% de celulose nanofibrilada, obtida a partir de 2 passes, proporcionou os melhores resultados com aumento da resistência à tração, arrebentamento e rasgo de 111, 114 e 70%, respectivamente, em comparação aos papéis normais. A melhoria das propriedades mecânicas do papel está relacionada à rede muito densa de ligações de hidrogênio, resultando em maior área de superfície obtida após a desfibrilação.

Tech students Maharanapratap College of Technology, Gwalior, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrugated board is widely used in the packing industry. The main advantages are lightness, recyclability and low cost. This makes the material the best choice to produce containers devoted to the shipping of goods. Furthermore examples of structure design based on corrugated boards can be found in different fields. Structural analysis of paperboard components is a crucial topic in the design of containers. It is required to investigate their strength properties because they have to protect the goods contained from lateral crushing and compression loads due to stacking. However in this paper complete and detailed information are presented. Keywords: - corrugated boards, recyclability, compression loads. Smaller flutes offer printability advantages as well as I. INTRODUCTION structural advantages for retail packaging. Corrugated board is essentially a paper sandwich consisting of corrugated medium layered between inside II. HISTORY and outside linerboard.

THE USE OF OLD CORRUGATED BOARD IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY WHITE PAPERS by Rene' H. Kapik A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for The Bachelor of Science Degree Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December, 1983 ABSTRACT Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/ hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper. The papers produced had almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured,:. bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents. Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended due to its inferior brightness and cleanliness.
