THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. These issues can lead to “downcycling” of the material to a low-value application. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Aim for 75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft angle from ¼° to 1°. In some filled plastic materials, through-holes are best added in a post-process step.

For most plastic materials, the runner size will be dependent upon the flow characteristics of the material. FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced. This rotation is shearing the material, which is pulling and stretching the material causing the plastic layers to flow past each other.
