Manufacturing embossing

Miscellaneous Types. Various decorative effects have been developed which meet specific aesthetic requirements. These laminates may have special visual appeal, such as gloss finish, deeply embossed textures, and metallic surfaces. They are designed for specific installations and may not be suitable for all apphcations. For this reason, they are not included in these standards. Information concerning thein proper appHcation, properties, and care should be requested from the manufacturer. 

In a calender line, the polymer melt is transformed into films and sheets by squeezing it between pairs of co-rotating high-precision rollers. Calenders are also used to produce certain surface textures which may be required for different applications. Today, calendering lines are used to manufacture PVC sheet, floor covering, rubber sheet, and rubber tires. They are also used to texture or emboss surfaces. When producing PVC sheet and film, calender... 

Moreover, a Zeonor plastic plate, normally used to manufacture CDs and DVDs, was hot-embossed (130°C, 250 psi) using a Si master. The embossed chip (with microchannels 60 im wide and 20 pm deep) was thermally bonded to another Zeonor plate (85°C, 200 psi, 10-15 min) [808], In another report, a 2-mm-thick cyclo-olefin (Zeonor 1020 R) substrate was embossed using a Si master to create 20-pm-wide and 10-pm-deep channels [788],... 

Two different principal manufacturing techniques, that is erosive and generative have been considered with the discussed materials. Following this, other techniques such as embossing or molding are included into the list of generative manufacturing techniques. 

Discussion. Ortho-McNeil is redesigning the packaging for Levaquin to improve readability. Manufacturers should be aware that practitioners often operate in areas that have poor lighting. This makes double-checking the label to prevent errors even more difficult. For some products, there may not be adequate time to read the label carefully the first time without having to look again because of poor contrast. The use of embossed printing on plastic containers has also been reported to be difficult to read because there...
