 Ancillary Packaging

The ancillary packaging materials add value to the

primary packaging in the automotive industry. It
makes the automotive packaging functionally strong
and sustainable for long-distance transit. Let’s discuss
the types of auto-ancillary packaging materials and
their importance for packaging in the automotive
industry.
 Functions of Ancillary Material:

The ancillary materials along with the primary

packaging materials

▪ Provide product–package compatibility,

▪ Product preservation and

▪ Protection, containment, identification, consumer

convenience and consumer protection.
 Ancillary packaging is one of the most crucial types of
packaging materials. These are essential consumables
Ancillary in the packaging industry. Mainly these are

Material • Adhesives

Required for •
•
Printing Inks
PP Straps
Packaging • Caps & Closures
• Tapes
• Labels
• Cushioning Material
 1. Adhesives
Adhesive bonding is the process of uniting
materials with the aid of an adhesive, a
substance capable of holding such materials
together by surface attachment. o Polymers are
widely used as adhesives because of their
versatility. The primary function of adhesives is
to join parts together. Adhesives do this by
transmitting stress from one member to another
in a manner that distributes the stress much
more uniformly than can be achieved with
conventional mechanical fasteners.

Classification of Adhesives:

▪ Adhesives are broadly classified as

▪ Waterborne Adhesives
▪ Hot–melt Adhesives
▪ Solvent–borne Adhesives

 2. Printing Ink

▪ Printing inks are colored liquids or pastes,

formulated to transfer and reproduce an image from
a printing surface.

▪ They are used mainly to convey a message and

provide protection; however, they also can give a
decorative effect to the substrate to which they are
applied.

▪ Printing inks are used on a wide range of papers,

boards, plastic, glass and textiles surface in flat and,
in some instances, preformed shapes.
 Inks for External Packaging:

This is defined as any packaging additional to an

immediate Food wrapping, and the printed matter has
a barrier in the form of another wrapper Between it
and the food. The very low ink film weight and its
remoteness from the food, Makes any additional
safeguard unnecessary. The materials used for the
printing inks must however be non-toxic and non-
injurious to health.
 Inks for Immediate Food Wrapping:

This deals with wrapping material in direct contact

with the food, such as butter wrapper, ice cream
wrapper etc. The requirements of inks
for such packaging are as follows:

▪ Printing inks used must be formulated on raw

materials other than those known to be toxic and
included in the list of excluded raw materials.
▪ Care must be taken during printing of the
immediate wrappers to avoid set-off and prevent
any ink coming in direct contact with the food.
▪ Where dye migration or bleed cannot be
prevented, the ink should not contain dyes or
other migratory coloring agents.
 Inks for Print in Direct Food Contact:

As already discussed, it is not feasible to formulate

inks based on food additive grade raw materials
therefore the printed surface should not be allowed to
come into contact with food and printing inks are not
recommended for direct food contact.

 3. PP Straps

Polypropylene strapping is made from lightweight

plastic material and is used for fixing loads to pallets
or bundling items for shipping. It is the most common
type of plastic strap and the most economical. It
comes in a range of colors, various widths,
thicknesses and polymer variations. It can be printed
for brand identification and marketing purposes.

It is embossed to improve grip during tensioning and

elongation before breakage. It is a light to medium
duty strapping solutions and is perfect for sealing and
reinforcing cartons and securing lighter pallet loads.
 Polypropylene Strapping

Strapping is applied in several uses such as:

▪ Bundling newspapers, timber and pipes

▪ Sealing and securing cartons
▪ Attaching loads to pallets
▪ Bailing agricultural products
▪ Bailing textiles
▪ Sealing coils of steel or rolls of paper

 4. Caps and Closures

▪ Caps and closures protect the automotive products

like oil, grease, or chemicals over a stipulated time
period. The functions of caps and closures are-
▪ Providing moisture barrier to prevent spoilage of
products.
▪ Protecting volatile liquids.
▪ For the ease of opening, closing, and dispensing.
▪ Shielding the users from direct contact of
automotive liquids. I.e., safeguarding users from the
organoleptic properties of chemicals.
▪ Protecting the product from pilferage, tampering, or
adulteration.
▪ Maintaining pressure and vacuum in the container.
 Factors for selection of closures

▪ Product characteristics

▪ Dispensing mechanism

▪ Compatibility

▪ Dimensional stability

▪ Environmental stress cracking resistance

▪ Heat resistance

▪ Thread matching tolerances

 5. Adhesive Tapes
▪ An adhesive tape is composed of a backing element in a
long strip upon which an adhesive is applied.

▪ Its function is to attach the carrier backing to some

secondary surface.

▪ The attachment is made by activating the adhesive with

solvent, heat or finger pressure.

▪ Tapes are used for holding, bundling, sealing, protecting,

reinforcing, color identification and box closing.

▪ Gummed tapes, stamps, etc. are the most known variety

of solvent – activated tape, that is, the adhesive is
activated by wetting with water.
 The largest use of pressure-sensitive tape in packaging
is the closure of regular slotted containers. A plastic

Pressure film is coated on one side with a pressure sensitive

Sensitive Tape
adhesive. The film may have a release treatment on
one side to allow easy removal of the tape from the
roll during dispensing. Some film backings also are
treated or coated on the adhesive side to increase the
bond of the adhesive to the backing.

 Filament tape is typically made of a film backing

Filament (polyester or polypropylene) with reinforcing filaments

embedded in the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The most
Tapes common filament is fiber glass, which provides a high
tensile strength with very little elongation.
 6. Labels

▪ Labeling is the manual or

electromechanical process of attaching the
‘label’ to the correct
▪ Product or packaging or service.

From the simple manual operations of sticking

the paper label to the container with animal
glue, the labeling technology has progressed
significantly, offering a variety of labeling
materials, adhesives and machinery, tailored to
suit labeling equipment. Sometimes, the
function of the label is done by the
container/package itself which is printed with
all the information which the label normally
carries.
 ▪ To identify the product
▪ Provide ingredients
▪ Purpose/use of the products
Functions of ▪ Providing aesthetic appeal

Labels ▪ Decoration as evidence

▪ Child safety
▪ Other information like maximum retail
price (MRP), Batch No, Shelf-life/Best-
before-date etc.

7. Cushioning Material
▪ Protects the article from damage due to shock
and vibration
▪ During transport, package is subjected to
vibration, movement and jolts
▪ Cushioning material prevents product damage,
abrasion of surfaces, friction over sharp
projection
▪ Cushioning materials: Foams, paper shreds,
cotton waste, sand etc.
 ▪ Shock protection
▪ Protection of high-finished surface
▪ Protection of small projection on articles
▪ Filling of void space
