Morphologies


    Main morphologies of packaging: structural typologies, formal configurations, and design solutions adopted within packaging systems.

    The analysis of morphologies enables observation of how form, structure, and the articulation of components influence functional performance, product protection, logistical dynamics, and user interaction. 

    Considered in relation to materials, production processes, and design strategies, morphologies represent a key dimension for understanding the evolution of packaging solutions and the transformations currently affecting the packaging sector.

    Adhesive Label
    An adhesive label (or sticker) is a thin material, usually paper or plastic film, with an adhesive layer on one side, protected by a backing sheet (liner), designed to be peeled off and applied to surfaces for identification, decoration or information purposes, adhering with light pressure.
     
    Labels can be supplied in sheets or rolls; for industrial applications, they are usually preferred on rolls.

    In some more complex configurations, they may

    • have an adhesive applied in a pattern and with areas of varying tack (permanent, removable or neutralised)
    • be multi-layered (actual laminates)
    • incorporate very specific components and functions (RFID, vacuum valves, etc.).
    Etichetta adesiva
    Un’etichetta adesiva (o sticker) è un materiale sottile, solitamente carta o film plastico, con uno strato adesivo su un lato, protetto da un foglio di carta distaccante, progettato per essere staccato e applicato su superfici per identificazione, decorazione o informazione, aderendo con una leggera pressione.
     
    Le etichette possono essere fornite in fogli o bobine; per impieghi industriali si preferisce solitamente averle in bobina.

    In alcune configurazioni più complesse possono

    • avere un adesivo applicato a mappa e con zone a diversa adesività (permanente, riposizionabile, neutralizzata)
    • essere multistrato (dei veri e propri laminati)
    • possono integrare componenti e funzioni molto specifici (RFID, vacuum valve ecc).
