Handbook of package engineering (4th ed.)

Three broad categories of packaging-consumer, industrial and military packaging-all require different technologies.

This handbook addresses the first category, which is characterized by small units in large numbers, whether they are retail or institutional items.

This volume considers protection, cost, convenience and appearance.

It is the only text of its kind, and so is essential for packaging engineers, as well as technologists who design material and designers who create the visual appeal.

This fourth edition provides the same content that has made it so successful, such as a profile of packaging techniques and procedures, and it introduces new chapters on testing and equipment.
