Packaging can take many forms and can be made out of many different materials. One popular choice is the use of poly. Poly is a flexible material, making it durable against everyday use. Poly packaging is very versatile. Its light weight allows for easy shipping and its many options for design makes poly packaging a must for promotional endeavors. Poly enables packaging to have a crisp and clean look, giving it an excellent presentation factor.

There are two types of poly packaging: polyethylene and polypropylene. Polyethylene is the most popular plastic in the world. It is classified as a thermoplastic, which means it can be melted to a liquid and remolded when it turns solid. Polyethylene is interesting in that it was accidentally discovered. A German chemist in 1898 was applying heat to another compound, when he realized the extreme heat and pressure produced polyethylene. Polypropylene has a little different structure in that it serves as both a plastic and a fiber. It has a higher melting point than many other plastics, making it a common material in dishwasher safe food containers.

Poly packaging is an outstanding choice for customization. Offset and screen printing are popular options for poly projects. Specialty printing like foil stamping, embossing, and debossing are other options to add creativity, uniqueness, and character to any packaging project. Poly packaging can take many forms including boxes, binders, totes, envelopes, and folders. The versatility and durability that poly packaging offers gives companies that ability to stand out from the competition.

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Libraries want to be able to provide these resources to the public, but cannot afford to keep replacing the stolenblack premium dvd case Prevent Theft and Damage to Library Media Collections or damaged discs. Can anything be done to prevent these problems? We had a few ideas that could reduce these losses:

First, invest in premium quality CD/DVD cases. These cases are durable, and not only will the cases last longer, but they will also protect your discs. Strong hubs prevent the discs from falling out, and the quick-release button allows for easy removal without breaking the disc. Media collections get an extensive amount of use and that requires packaging that will last.

Premium quality cases can help prevent damage, but how can libraries prevent theft? cd dvd security tape Prevent Theft and Damage to Library Media Collections There needs to be a higher amount of security. A number of different companies offer electromagnetic security tape. If this is placed on more costly items, theft can be reduced. 3M also offers a product called radio frequency identification (RFID) solution. This software verifies that the discs and cases match up when returned to libraries. This will make managing the growing media collections more efficient. Libraries will not have to worry about getting the wrong disc or receiving an empty case.

By investing in premium quality CD/DVD cases and security, damage and theft to libraries’ media collections can be significantly reduced. Then libraries could add more options to their selection, rather than having to replace the old ones.
