The force required to sever a material by the pressing action of the die is considerably greater The answer is as follows. than the force required for a cutting process using a blade. Die-cutting is a process by which the material is compressed and cut with the aid of a die. The Various factors influence the forces which come process is performed either on a flat-bed die- into play during the die-cutting process: cutting machine or on a rotary die-cutting machine. The nature of the material to be die-cut The dies on a flat-bed die-cutting machine are shaped out of steel strip.

Corrugated boxes are one of the most stable packaging forms in today’s industry. According to The Marketing Guide to the U.S. Packaging Industry, in 2004 paperboard packaging products made up 40.3% of the shipment packaging industry. Paperboard sales were more than double any other material during both 2004 and 2005. Inside of the paperboard industry, corrugated board made up 64% of all paperboard sales in 2004. According to the same source, corrugated shipping containers alone had $29.5 billion in shipments during the 2005 year. This was more than all plastic packaging material combined which totaled $26.346 billion. Not only do corrugated shipping containers dominate as distribution packages, the industry continues to grow. It is expected that the corrugated container industry will grow by 1.3% from 2005 to 2010 despite the threat from other packaging materials, such as plastics (The Marketing Guide, 2006). The properties of corrugated boxes make them valuable distribution packages and give the corrugated industry a slight advantage over other competitors. Corrugated boxes are best suited as a shipping container because of their strength to cost ratio (Jonson, 1999).

Not listed here are presses outside the accessioned collections, such as two Vandercook proof presses (a Model 4T and a Universal III) that are now earning an honest living in the office printing shop. At some future time, no doubt, they too will be retired into the collections. The Division of Graphic Arts was established in 1886 as a special kind of print collection with the purpose of representing “art as an industry.” For many years collecting was centered around prints, together with the plates and tools that made them. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the Division begin to collect printing presses systematically. Even more recently, the scope of collecting has been broadened to include printing type and type-making apparatus.

Corrugated 101! ! !Corrugated Vs
Corrugated 101! ! !Corrugated vs. Cardboard! • The term "cardboard box" is commonly misused when referring to a corrugated box. The correct technical term is "corrugated fiberboard carton.”! • Cardboard boxes are really chipboard boxes, and used primarily for packaging lightweight products, such as cereal or board games.! • Corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely utilized in retail packaging, shipping cartons, product displays and many other applications ! requiring lightweight, but sturdy materials.! !Corrugated Composition! Corrugated fiberboard is comprised of linerboard and heavy paper medium. Linerboard is the flat, outer surface that adheres to the medium. The medium is the wavy, fluted paper between the liners. Both are made of a special kind of heavy paper called !containerboard. Board strength will vary depending on the various linerboard and medium combinations.! • Single Face: Medium glued to 1 linerboard; flutes exposed! • Single Wall: Medium between 2 liners! • Double Wall: Varying mediums layered between 3 liners! !• Triple Wall: Varying mediums layered between 4 liners! !Flute Facts! !Corrugated board can be created with several different flute profiles. The five most common flute profiles are:! • A-Flute: Original corrugated flute design. Contains about 33 flutes per foot.! • B-Flute: Developed primarily for packaging canned goods. Contains about 47 flutes per foot and measures 1/8" thick! • C-Flute: Commonly used for shipping cartons. Contains about 39 flutes per foot and measures 5/32" thick! • E-Flute: Contains about 90 flutes per foot and measures 1/16" thick! • F-Flute: Developed for small retail packaging. Contains about 125 flutes per foot and measures 1/32" thick! • Generally, larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength and cushioning.

PeelMaster is one of the best printers in the medical packaging business, and can provide expert assistance in your design process. No matter what the challenge, we will give our best efforts. However, often it is possible to reduce or eliminate potential problems with proper design in the first place. For this reason, to assist you, we have assembled the following guidelines: 1. PeelMaster uses a web-fed (roll-to-roll) flexographic printing process. 2. We can print up to 4 colors in register on one side of the web, or can print in register on both sides, 2 colors on one side, one color on the other. (Note: Most medical packaging is one or two colors. If more colors are needed, up to 4 colors can be printed on each side of the web–in two print passes–but the image on one side will randomly located on the package.) 3.

Tyvek ® Printing Guide
, China 兽桃 Mask Bag, designed by Shou Tao Tao Mask Bag, designed by Shou DuPont™ Tyvek ® Graphics EMEA Printability Guide Water Resistant Paper-like Light Tear Resistant Recyclable Printable DuPont™ Tyvek ® Graphics EMEA Printability Guide DuPont™ Tyvek® is a popular printing substrate due to its light weight, smooth surface, high dimensional stability, opacity, toughness and durability. Uncoated Tyvek® can be printed using most digital and commercial printing processes. Some digital presses and some aqueous ink jet printers require a special coating. Tyvek® can be printed either sheet or web-fed. Tyvek® can be printed the same way as paper, although some of its physical properties do require special attention. To achieve excellent print quality, both the designer and printer must understand the unique properties and characteristics of Tyvek®. Tyvek® is made of continuous high-density polyethylene filaments. By using heat and pressure, these filaments are bonded into a base material for printing which turns out to be neither paper, cloth nor plastic film, but it integrates the advantages of those three materials. Tyvek® material has a melting point of 135°C and is a water-resistant and non-absorbent material with superior dimensional stability, high strength, and a smooth matt surface. Most traditional printing technologies can be used for Tyvek® printing, as well as some digital printing. The following Tyvek® printing quick reference guidelines have been summarized based on our current knowledge and the relevant contents will be updated

Developing and Applying a Selection Model for Corrugated Box Precision Printing Machine Suppliers
mathematics Article Developing and Applying a Selection Model for Corrugated Box Precision Printing Machine Suppliers Chin-Tsai Lin and Cheng-Yu Chiang * Department of Business Administration, Ming Chuan University, 250 Zhong Shan N. Rd., Sec. 5, Taipei 111, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-04-2206-1660-630 Abstract: Corrugated box printing machines are precision equipment produced by markedly few manufacturers. They involve high investment cost and risk. Having a corrugated box precision printing machine (CBPPM) supplier with a good reputation enables a corrugated box manufacturer to maintain its competitive advantage. Accordingly, establishing an effective CBPPM supplier selection model is crucial for corrugated box manufacturers. This study established a two-stage CBPPM supplier selection model. The first stage involved the use of a modified Delphi method to construct a supplier selection hierarchy with five criteria and 14 subcriteria. In the second stage, an analytic network process was employed to calculate the weights of criteria and subcriteria and to determine the optimal supplier. According to the results, the five criteria in the model, in descending order of importance, are quality, commitment, cost, service attitude, and reputation. This model can provide insights for corrugated box manufacturers formulating their CBPPM supplier selection strategy. Keywords: corrugated box printing machine; modified Delphi method; analytic network process (ANP); supplier 1. Introduction Citation: Lin, C.-T.; Chiang, C.-Y.
