Rigid Plastics Packaging : Materials, Processes and Applications

This report starts with a simple overview of materials, processes and application for rigid plastics packaging and progresses to the latest developments. Packaging containers can be manufactured using the spectrum of processes available to the plastics industry. These processing methods are described briefly in the review with an overview of each type accompanied by a discussion of forthcoming developments. The review is accompanied by over 400 summaries of papers from the Rapra Polymer Library on developments in polymers, processes and applications for rigid packaging.
