Consumers accustomed to seeing CDs packaged in "longboxes"-5 X 11 1/2-inch paperboard cartons-are going to have to get used to a new standard... The polystyrene jewelbox-the hinged case that holds the CD for storage at home-could be used as the primary sales package, following the addition of a tamper-evident device such as shrink film or a fancy edge seal. 4, record 1, English, - longbox

Pallet Shrink Wrapping Machines.-Pallet shrink wrapping involves wrapping the pallet in an over sized film and then shrinking by applying heat. The shrunk film so tightens around the pallet that it gives it maximum stability during the transport. The shrunk thermoplastic film also provides protection against moisture and dust during storage. These machines are as per the customer requirement in terms of the size of the pallet or product, speed and automation. Shrink hood applicator wraps the load in thermoplastic film in a reel. The film is first sealed at one end and laid open on the pallet. 5, record 4, English, - pallet%20shrink%20wrapper

Films rétrécissables. [...] Les films ordinaires présentent déjà une certaine rétraction due à leur fabrication qui provoque un étirement, mais elle est insuffisante [...] Pour créer les tensions internes, on étire le film à une certaine température dans une ou deux directions. On donne ainsi au matériau un nouvel arrangement moléculaire que l'on fixe par refroidissement brusque. [...] Les propriétés optiques [...], physiques [...], mécaniques [...] sont souvent améliorées par ce traitement qui correspond en somme à l'étirage-trempage dans la métallurgie. Quant à la rétraction, elle est obtenue par élévation rapide de température qui libère les tensions précédemment bloquées, le matériau reprenant son arrangement antérieur. 3, record 5, French, - film%20r%C3%A9tr%C3%A9cissable
