Editorial

Packaging innovations have become eternal. Man’s life has been made so much easier and comfortable with great packaging techniques. Thanks to non-stick packaging, even the final drop will slide out easily onto the barbecued steak. Thin films which are not more than 20 nanometers thick are applied to the inside surface of the packaging.

"Define-A-Lash" mascara line from Maybelline features an aluminum cap that is anodized with precision color matching to coordinate a seamless flow of bright green from the cap to the plastic base. In order to accommodate the unique package design, Anomatic and Techpack created the cap to exacting specifications.
