Design Process and Printability of Cigarette Packaging Materials

Abstract:

The cigarette packaging material is an important material, a thin flexible, fibrous web consisting of cellulose fibers deposited upon each other, randomly oriented in the plane of the packaging materials. The coating layer properties have a connection to print quality via the ink absorption speed and volume capacity. Too slow speed at the coating materials surface means that the colorants have more time to mix together and bleeding problems are more visible. This paper studies the design of cigarette packaging materials as well as its printability.
