Already, a huge percentage of the things that we as consumers buy has gone through plastic extrusion. Since I have begun my research on this full-bodied topic, I have learned a number of interesting and exciting facts that have forced me to think about the things that have took place for me to live as comfortably as I do. From the machinery to the plastic materials used in the process, we have come such a way from where we were just a few decades ago. Thankfully, we have dedicated people who are full of ideas and the will to make them realities. It has been sincerely eye-opening to explore this industry, and I cannot wait to continue to do so.

Plastic extrusions are produced by a process known as plastic extrusion. Plastic extrusion is a manufacturing process where raw plastic materials are melted down and then formed into a continuous profile. Plastic extrusion produces all types of different items and is particularly useful for manufacturing window frames, tubing, pipes and weather stripping . To extrude plastic into various forms, raw thermoplastic material called resin in the extrusion industry, and in the form of small beads, are loaded into a gravity fed hopper which is mounted onto the top of an extrusion barrel. UV inhibitors and additives such as colourants are very often mixed into the resin before it is loaded into the hopper . The resin drops down into a barrel which contains a screw which can rotate from anything up to 120 rpm. The screw forces the resin or plastic beads along the barrel which is heated to the desired temperature, and this can range from 200 degrees centigrade to around 275 degrees c...

If you are a fashion designer or if you create handmade clothing or accessories, custom made fabric labels can make your garment unique . They add color, style, make a fashion statement , and truly make the garment yours. Labels can be a method of advertising your product line or a way to add uniqueness to a garment. Depending on how they're attached to the garment, the more popular types of clothing labels are Sew-in labels and Iron-on labels . Each type of label has its advantages and disadvantages. One thing that applies to both is the concept of copyright. A copyright protects the use of a logo, name, or other piece of artwork or graphic work from public use without the permission of the owner. You cannot mass produce labels like I-Zod or Intel's Logo and sell them. A copyright usually expires after 75 years unless renewed . This allows you to use all the photographs from Wikipedia and other sites that are designated as free for public use to create labels th...
