INOVATIVE PACKAGE DESIGN AND ANTI- COUNTERFEIT

CHAPTER - 1

INTRODUCTION

Packaging plays a huge role in terms of the retail success of a product, and innovative

packaging design can even boost the brand behind a given product. Many companies have

approached this strategy in different ways, but what's the big payoff for investing time into

boosting a product's packaging.

It can define and set your brand apart. Companies have become famous for their

innovative package design, and were able to dominate older with fresh style and strong branding.

To set itself apart, the company debuted packaging that was very aesthetically different from

other products on the market. The products were consistently monochromatic with a very distinct

sketch-like appearance that set it far apart from more traditional brands.

Great packaging can elevate the perceived value of your product. Aside from furthering

your company's branding and message, innovative packaging design can help define your

product as exceptional. It offers consumers a reason to choose your product over others.

Creative packaging, particularly packaging that serves consumers in an innovative way, gives

customers good reason to select your brand's products over others. In addition to the branding

advantages of creative packaging design, it can boost sales by simply offering more value to

customers. Innovative packaging design can be a fantastic way to achieve branding and sales

goals, and should be carefully considered when it comes to strategy.

There are a many anti-counterfeit technologies available to manufacture for the brand

owners, ranging from very simple but effective, through to the highly sophisticated and

extremely secured. The majority is to add one or more of the packaging components. Some

futures to be applied on the package either by markings or by using physical or chemical markers

within the formulation.

Project Report - 2015

The purpose of an anti-counterfeit features is primarily to enable the authentication of an

item, by government, industrial investigator, or ideally, by the wider public. The second function

may be act as a deterrent to anyone considering counterfeit to the product based on the difficulty

or cost loss involved set against the liking hood of detection, and therefore prosecution. It must

be stressed that security device on packaging components provide no assurance as to the

authenticity of the content, which may have been substituted or adulterated. Security device

alone do not reduce counterfeits, but are designed to make them easier to detect.

Objectives

• To study the Anit-counterfeit methodology and design a new Innovative package

CHAPTER – 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

LITERATURE REVIEW:

The literature review contains the abstract of published by different authors on the subject

relevant to the project. A brief description is given below.

2.1 Anti-Counterfeiting Packaging by Technology (Authentication & and Track & Trace),

by Application (Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, and Others):

Mark Anes, etal studied the packing of the FMCG goods in a secure way by using FRID tags in

March 2014 and publish his paper. In this study he explained about the implementation Anti-

counterfeiting in packaging by using technology. The pack is tracked by using RFID strips.

2.2 Board interlocking network and the design of executive compensation packages:

The standard approach used to model interlocks in the business and management literature is to

treat each interlock of a network as an independent data point. However, such an approach

ignores the complex inter-dependencies among the common director interlocks. We propose that

an interlocking board network is an important inter-corporate setting that has bearing on how

company boards make corporate decisions. Using a sample of 725 large U.S.-based public

companies over the period 2007–2010, board member information, executive compensation

information, and exponential random graph modeling (ERGM) techniques for social networks,

we present evidence that board interlocks are positively linked with similarities in the design of

executive compensation packages in interlocked firms, particularly the proportions of the options

component. We also find evidence that board interlocks are positively linked with similarities in

a number of board characteristics.

2.3 Considering Emotions in Product Package Design through Combining Conjoint

Analysis with Psycho Physiological Measurements:

Successful new product development is a basis for economic growth and exporting ability. It is

also a guarantee of survival for enterprises. As products have to be attractive for customers, the

main role in new product development is on the customer-needs analysis. Conjoint analysis is

one of the most used methods in mapping of consumer preferences. Nowadays consumers are

mainly satisfying higher-order needs and therefore the role of emotions and thus visual design of

product package in buying decisions has increased. Conjoint analysis in the same time presumes

that consumers are rational in their decisions and are maximizing their utility functions. In this

paper we combined conjoint analysis method with psycho physiological measurements. Usually

in conjoint analysis respondents have to rank conception cards based on their preferences. We

ranked pictures of product versions based on the measured strength of the positive emotions

these pictures created to respondents. In the study we manipulated with the visual elements of

apple juice carton and conducted an “emotion based conjoint analysis” with 107 persons. Results

indicate that with the help of our combined method it is possible to detect how important are

different visual factors on the package in generating positive emotions to buyers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

3.1 Preliminary Tests

The used Hologram materials for Anti-counterfeit is checked for Tensile strength and

COF before lamination and after lamination is tested

3.2 Hologram Studies and solution:

Hologram strip is incorporated into film in the lamination process. 60µ white LDPE is laminated

with printed 35µ PET film. In this process the Hologram strip of 10µPET film printed with 3µ of

Hologram is introduced at 80°c and 5bar pressure. The print gets transferred at this condition and

remaining PET film is removed using suction pump.

3.3 Problems faced in hologram:

The laminator machine has maximum speed of 450meters/minute, when the Hologram

input is added the speed can‟t be achieved above 150meters/minute. Rejection of jobs occurs due

to pressure marks, improper transfer of hologram print and occurrence of air bubbles.

3.4 Observation Trial And Error Result:

Tensile strength of the Hologram strips are tested and tensile strength at which the Hologram

print starts to deform is noted.

The graph shows the point at which the print starts to deform in the strip due to tensile force.

Table 3.2

The point 22.9N*5mm is the load at which the print gets deformed. The tension force is

formed in the input due to the following parameters, torque of the roller, angular velocity, feed

pressure, gravity, roller diameter, roller width.

In the company systematic process alternating this parameter will make production loss,

thus my research suggested a motor in feed mechanism instead of in feed due to the nip point

force. Thus the tension between the nip point and in feed wind is maintained.

During the work the final reel gets improper wind makes a telescopic reel. This problem

occurs due to the change in the Co Efficient of Friction value changes due to the continuous strip

of hologram is laminated.

Before lamination the COF value of poly film static= 0.274 and dynamic= 0.236, after

lamination the COF value changes to static= 0.365 and dynamic= 0.314

3.5 Mechanical Parameters cause these problems:

Tensile Force:

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS) or ultimate

strength, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled

before failing or breaking. Tensile strength is not the same as compressive strength and the

values can be quite different. Some materials will break sharply, without plastic deformation, in

what is called a brittle failure. Others, which are more ductile, including most metals, will

experience some plastic deformation and possibly necking before fracture. The UTS is usually

found by performing a tensile test and recording the engineering stress versus strain. The highest

point of the stress–strain curve is the UTS. It is an intensive property; therefore its value does not

depend on the size of the test specimen. However, it is dependent on other factors, such as the

preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of

the test environment and material. Tensile strengths are rarely used in the design of ductile

members, but they are important in brittle members. They are tabulated for common materials

such as alloys, composite materials, ceramics, plastics, and wood.Tensile strength is defined as a

stress, which is measured as force per unit area. For some non-homogeneous materials (or for

assembled components) it can be reported just as a force or as a force per unit width. In the

International System of Units (SI), the unit is the pascal (Pa) or, equivalently to pascals, newtons

per square metre (N/m²). A United States customary unit is pounds per square inch (lbf/in² or

psi), or kilo-pounds per square inch (ksi, or sometimes kpsi), which is equal to 1000 psi; kilo-

pounds per square inch are commonly used when measuring tensile strengths.

Nip Pressure:

The pressure between the rollers, the "nip pressure", can be reduced by heating the rolls and/or

moistening the paper surface. This helps to keep the bulk and the stiffness of the web paper

which is beneficial for its later use.

Angular Velocity:

The angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement and is a

vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudo vector) which specifies the angular speed (rotational

Page 19: Sridhar_Innovative package design

Project Report - 2015

15 CEG, Anna University ITC-PPD, Chennai

speed) of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating. The SI unit of angular

velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per

second, degrees per hour, etc. Angular velocity is usually represented by the symbol omega (ω,

rarely Ω). The direction of the angular velocity vector is perpendicular to the plane of rotation, in

a direction which is usually specified by the right-hand rule.

3.6 Results and Discussions:

Many methodologies for Anti-counterfeit is analyzed and new design are made. The existing

method is analyzed and better solution is made and alternative solution for the problems is

explained.

CHAPTER – 4

Innovative Package Design

4.1 Plastics Cups

A plastic cup is a cup made out of plastic. It is most commonly used as a container to hold beverages.

Some are reusable while others are intended for a single use followed by recycling or disposal.

4.2 Distinguishing features

Plastic cups come in a variety of colors, textures and sizes. Most plastic cups contain a resin

identification code which can be seen by inverting the cup and reading the numerical value

printed on the bottom. One should check the adequacy of the cup material for hot drinks, since if

it contains bisphenol-A, at 100ºC it gives off 55 times more of this chemical to the liquid, than at

20ºC.

4.3 Uses

Plastic cups are often used for gatherings where it would be inconvenient to wash dishes

afterward, due to factors such as location or number of guests. Plastic cups can be used for

storing most liquids, but hot liquids may melt or warp the material.

4.4 Environmental issues

Most plastic cups are designed for single uses and then disposal or recycling. A life cycle

inventory of a comparison of paper and plastic shows environmental effects of both with no clear

winner.Production of one metric ton of plastic cup emits 135 pounds of green house gases. The

choice between paper cups and plastic cups resides in the life of the after use. A paper cup may

biodegrade faster than a Styrofoam cup or a plastic cup. In general cardboard or paper takes 1 to

3 months for biodegradation as the majority of the content, up to 95%, is made with wood chips.

As for a plastic cup it can take up to 90 years, depending on the type of plastic. Plastic cups are

made with oil, which is not a renewable source, where paper could come from the 20% of this

planets forest who fall under sustainable management. Plastic cups, specially made with

Page 21: Sridhar_Innovative package design

Project Report - 2015

17 CEG, Anna University ITC-PPD, Chennai

Polystyrene are also a possible health hazard as chemicals may leach into the beverage. This is

more likely to happen with warm drinks (hot chocolate, tea and coffee) than with cold drinks.

4.5 Concept

In FMCG market now a day semi solid food products are packed in round shaped cup and

sealed by using aluminum foil. In order to make that simple, the cups are designed in triangular

shape so that the closure can be used as spoon.

4.6 Design Consideration:

o Height of the triangle should be greater than the depth of the cup

o Triangle can be Isosceles or Equilateral

o Angles and Dimension

4.7 Design Dimensions:

Equilateral triangle is selected; it can be easily accommodate in bulk packaging and stack

height can be achieved drastically compared to round cups.

Base Triangle dimension 150mm all sides at 60 °

Top Triangle dimension 100mm all sides at 60°

Depth of the Cup is 50mm

Swept angle of the cup is Appox 62°
