A barrier structure is selected around the protection required by the product. Oxygen and moisture are among the properties considered in Tsimis’s materials-development work.
Define the product, storage conditions and required barrier properties; the term “high barrier” alone is not a complete specification.

A matte finish changes the visual appearance of printed packaging. It is an appearance choice that can be discussed alongside the material structure.
Bring a reference for the appearance you want and identify the printed areas it should apply to.

Rough touch gives the pack a textured, tactile finish. It concerns how the surface feels as well as how the finished packaging looks.
Use a physical reference to discuss the intended texture together with your artwork and product requirements.

Easy-open structures address the way the user opens the pack. The opening behaviour is considered together with the material and the packaging format.
Describe the intended opening point and user experience, and supply the current pack or layout where available.

Cold-seal coating in register is applied in a defined pattern aligned with the printed design. This connects coating placement with the layout of the finished pack.
Include the sealing arrangement, print repeat and packing process in the brief.
Confectionery · Ice Cream & Chocolates · Special Applications
Hot melt is a coating option within Tsimis’s converting capabilities. Its role is defined by the structure and the intended specialist application.
Explain the function the coating needs to serve, the materials involved and the conditions of use.
Special Applications
Shrink sleeves are tubular printed labels that shrink around a container. Wrap-around labels surround its surface. Both place the printed identity around the product container.
Share the container drawing, label area and application equipment before selecting a format.
Dairy & Soft Drinks · Special Applications
Deep-freeze materials are an option for packaging intended for frozen storage. The actual temperature and handling requirements belong in the material specification.
State storage temperatures, packing conditions and handling requirements for the particular product.
Frozen Food · Special Applications
Vacuum-packaging structures are considered for processes in which air is removed from the pack. Material selection is linked to the product, equipment and required pack behaviour.
Describe the vacuum-packing process, pack dimensions, storage conditions and any opening requirements.
