Country-Of-Origin Labeling for Foods
Country-of-Origin Labeling for Foods Remy Jurenas Specialist in Agricultural Policy July 15, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22955 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Country-of-Origin Labeling for Foods Summary Many retail food stores are now required to inform consumers about the country of origin of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, ginseng, and ground and muscle cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and goat. The rules are required by the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107- 171) as amended by the 2008 farm bill (P.L. 110-246). Other U.S. laws have required such labeling, but only for imported food products already pre-packaged for consumers. Both the authorization and implementation of country-of-origin labeling (COOL) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service have not been without controversy. Much attention has focused on the labeling rules that now apply to meat and meat product imports. A number of leading agricultural and food industry groups continue to oppose COOL as costly and unnecessary. They and some major food and livestock exporters to the United States (e.g., Canada and Mexico) also view the new requirement as trade-distorting. Others, including some cattle and consumer groups, maintain that Americans want and deserve to know the origin of their foods, and that many U.S. trading partners have their own, equally restrictive import labeling requirements. Obama Administration officials announced in February 2009 that they would allow the final rule on COOL, published just before the end of the Bush Administration on January 15, 2009, to take effect as planned on March 16, 2009. -
Durability Test Data for Brother Laminated Tze Labels
Durability test data for Brother laminated TZe labels Brother laminated TZe labels have been designed to last, wherever you use them Whether you need a professional labelling solution for the office, industry or home, Brother laminated TZe labels have been designed with you in mind. We’ve thought about exactly when, where and how you might need to use our labels and put them through a series of tests which demonstrate how our laminated labels withstand heavy abrasion, heat, cold, sunshine, water and chemicals. Brother laminated TZe labels Why Brother laminated TZe labels withstand Lamination the test of time provides an extra protective overcoat Unlike non-laminated labels, our laminated TZe tape technology applies a layer of super-clear polyethylene laminate to protect your text. Protective coating ( PET ) Adhesive ( acrylic ) Coloured base film ( PET ) Adhesive ( acrylic ) Backingbacking paperpaper Lettering When using Brother laminated TZe tape cassettes in our P-touch label printers, a clear polyethylene laminate layer is applied over the entire label and thermal transfer ink at the time of printing, unlike comparable competitor label printers. Therefore Brother laminated labels offer an additional level of protection, ensuring your text and the valuable information contained on the label remains legible, even under harsh conditions such as long term use outdoors in sunny conditions. And our team of engineers have developed dedicated tapes using adhesives and label materials for more demanding applications such as textured surfaces or wrapping around cables - ensuring your labels stay attached whatever your labelling needs. The following pages show the tests that were performed and how our laminated labels were put through their paces. -

Corrugated Board Structure: a Review M.C
ISSN: 2395-3594 IJAET International Journal of Application of Engineering and Technology Vol-2 No.-3 Corrugated Board Structure: A Review M.C. Kaushal1, V.K.Sirohiya2 and R.K.Rathore3 1 2 Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering Department, Gwalior Institute of Information Technology,Gwalior, Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering 3 Departments, Gwalior Engineering College, Gwalior, M. 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.

The Impact of the Flexo Folder-Gluer on Packaging Distribution
The Impact of the Flexo Folder-Gluer on Packaging Distribution Alexandra Hartford Michigan State University School of Packaging A322 Bailey Hall East Lansing, MI 48825 [email protected] 231.884.4840 Table of Contents Introduction 1 The Flexo Folder-Gluer 2 Feed Section 3 Printing Section 4 Creaser-Slotter 5 In-Line Die Cutter 6 Glue Lap Unit 8 Folding Section 9 Delivery End 9 Conclusion 10 Hartford 1 Introduction Corrugated boxes have been successful for over 100 years and statistics show that the corrugated industry is still thriving. 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).
