It considers the raw materials, the manufacture ofpaper and paperboard, and the basic properties and features onwhich packaging made from these materials depends for itsappearance and performance. The manufacture of twelve types ofpaper- and paperboard-based packaging is described, together withtheir end-use applications and the packaging machinery involved.The importance of pack design is stressed, as well as how thesematerials offer packaging designers opportunities for imaginativeand innovative design solutions. Environmental factors, includingresource sustainability, societal and waste management issues areaddressed in a dedicated chapter.
