Uvajanje alternativnih materialov nalepk v serijski proizvodnji

Bajrić, Gaja (author), Gregor Svetec, Diana (mentor)

V diplomskem delu je predstavljeno uvajanje alternativnih materialov v proizvodnji malih gospodinjskih aparatov za različne namene nalepk. Podjetje sledi trajnostnim smernicam, s tem pa posledično želi zmanjšati negativni vpliv na okolje, zaradi česar išče rešitve za plastične materiale z uporabo alternativnih materialov. Namen diplomskega dela je bil uvesti nove, alternativne materiale, izdelane iz sintetičnih polimerov, ki so bolj ekološki kot obstoječi materiali nalepk. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljeno podjetje BSH Nazarje. Opisane so vrste nalepk, ki so ključne za embalažo gospodinjskega aparata. Te imajo več namenov, kot so promocija aparata, transportni nameni, prikaz ključnih podatkov aparata in druge aktualne informacije. Za iskanje alternativnih materialov so bile ključne površina lepljenja, lepljivost in sam izgled. Nalepke, ki se lepijo na aparat, morajo imeti odlepljivo lepilo, nalepke, ki se lepijo na škatlo, morajo biti neodlepljive, nalepke za zaslone pa morajo biti statične. Iskanje alternativ je bilo usmerjeno k materialom iz papirja, biorazgradljivim, recikliranim in reciklabilnim materialom. V diplomsko delo so bili vključeni opisi in funkcije različnih materialov ter lepil za nalepke. Alternativnim materialom se je z ustreznimi merilnimi postopki določila uporabnost za določene namene. Testiranje se je začelo z opredelitvijo namembnosti nalepke, sledilo je testiranje v pečici pri visoki temperaturi ter testiranje v klima komori pri različnih temperaturah in vlažnosti. Alternativni materiali so bili preskušani s testnimi metodami, ki jih je predpisalo podjetje. Nalepke, ki so uspešno prestale preskušanje, so bile nato uvedene v proizvodnjo.

• Title: Introduction of alternative label materials in serial production

Abstract

The thesis presents the introduction of alternative materials for labels in the production of small household appliances for various purposes. The company follows sustainable guidelines and thus reduces the negative impact on the environment, which is why solutions with alternative materials are also being sought for plastic materials. The aim was to introduce new, alternative materials that are more ecological than the existing synthetic polymer label materials. In the theoretical part, the company BSH Nazarje was presented. The types of labels that are crucial for the packaging of household appliances are described. These have several purposes, such as promotion of the device, transport purposes, display of key data of the appliance and other current information. The key to finding alternative materials was the adhesive surface, stickiness and appearance itself. Labels that stick to the device must have a sticky adhesive, the labels that stick to the box must be non-sticky, and the labels for the screens must be static. The search for alternatives focused on paper, biodegradable, recycled and recyclable materials. In the thesis the description and functions of various materials and adhesives for labels are given. The applicability of the alternative materials for certain purposes was determined by appropriate measurement procedures. Testing began with defining the purpose of the label, followed by testing in an oven at high temperature and testing in an air conditioning chamber at different temperatures and humidity. Alternative materials were tested using test methods prescribed by the company. All successfully tested labels were then introduced into production.
