Technical writing for people who buy packaging: barrier, peel force, distortion and colour, explained without the brochure voice.
Technical writing for people who buy packaging: barrier, peel force, distortion and colour, explained without the brochure voice.
Retort
Weight, heat penetration, shelf presence and capital cost all move at once. Here is the honest comparison, including the parts a pouch supplier would rather not mention.
Materials
Foil, EVOH, metallized or plain? The decision has three inputs and one uncomfortable trade-off, and most packaging is either over-specified or quietly failing.
Wine
Why an opened box outlives an opened bottle by weeks, what the bladder actually does, and how to choose between a metallized and an EVOH structure.
Lidding
Peel force is a measured number against a specific resin, not a property of the film. Here is what actually happens at the seal interface, and how to specify it so nobody guesses.
Sleeves
A sleeve is printed deliberately deformed so that heat pulls it into shape. Get the distortion from a drawing instead of a bottle and you get three expensive rounds of surprise.
Colour
Brands do not lose their colour in one bad print run. They lose it a little at a time, over four years of reorders each measured against the previous one.
