Gift Wrap and Envelopes

Gift wrap is used for seasonal gifts, retail wrapping, liquor boxes, candy and other products. The substrates used are 90 % paper and 10 % foil [12]. 

Inks for Gift Wrap are composed of a hard non-film-forming styrene acrylic emulsion combined with a solution vehicle to adjust printability and balance coalescence. Gravure is the most used process for printing gift wrap. 

Envelope ink is made from the same mix of polymers as gift wrap ink.

Applications for single- and mnltilayer PS films include food and candy packaging, clear gift wrap, and envelope windows. Because of the ability of PS films to allow gas (such as air) to permeate through them, particularly with higher rubber concentrations, they have been used in breathable produce packaging that provides continued ripening on store shelves [2].
