  • Draw Ratio the surface area of the finished object / the footprint of the finished object. For example, for a tray of 10 cm x 12 cm x 2 cm deep, the Draw Ratio will be:
  • a common design solution is to use radii and/or a chamfers on the object, preventing the laminate from having to continue deeper into the comer, thus arresting the thinning that would normally occur.
  • the other advantage of radii and chamfers is that they distribute stress over a larger area than a sharp 90 degree comer.

  • Modified atmosphere is the practice of modifying the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package (commonly food packages, drugs, etc.) in order to improve the shelf life. The need for this technology for food arises from the short shelf life of food products such as meat, fish, poultry, and dairy in the presence of oxygen.
  • Oxygen In food, oxygen is readily available for lipid oxidation reactions. Oxygen also helps maintain high respiration rates of fresh produce, which contribute to shortened shelf life. From a microbiological aspect, oxygen encourages the growth of aerobic spoilage microorganisms. Therefore, the reduction of oxygen and its replacement with other gases can reduce or delay oxidation reactions and microbiological spoilage. Oxygen scavengers may also be used to reduce browning due to lipid oxidation by halting the auto-oxidative chemical process. The modification process generally lowers the amount of oxygen (O2) in the headspace of the package. Oxygen can be replaced with nitrogen (N2), a comparatively inert gas, or carbon dioxide (CO2). A stable atmosphere of gases inside the packaging can be achieved using active techniques, such as gas flushing and compensated vacuum, or passively by designing“breathable” films, or selective semi-permeable barriers.
