Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a explosion in finishing effects for plastics. Differentiation through product design as well as packaging design has become a paramount arm in the fight for market share in consumer products markets and elsewhere. Mass customisation through finishing effects is considered a key to commercially successful designs. Rapid developments in technology as well as a host of new plastics coming on stream have enabled the plastics industry and those that use plastics in their products to realize dramatic product enhancements in terms of both aesthetics and functionality. This conference addressed the potential of special effects through presentations from leading companies.
