Abstract

R-Pac is a packaging accessories manufacturer for garments industry. R-Pac basically produces different types of labels, packaging items, tags, and RFID tags. They have six different departments and they are offset, PFL, Weaving, HTL, flexo, and thermal and RFID department. While I was doing my internship at R-Pac I was assigned to every department for a specific period of time and gain a practical experience of their operation. Offset department produces tags and packaging items. PFL and weaving department produces printed labels. HTL department produces heat sensitive labels. These labels are directly attached on the fabric with heat and pressure. Flexo department mainly produces sticker items. R-Pac’s one of the most efficient and productive department is thermal and RFID department. Thermal and RFID department mainly produce barcode and tags attached with RFID. RFID is the updated version of barcode which has a microchip attached with the barcode. These microchip contains specific information and can be tracked without manual labor. RFID can ensure the security of the and also gives us the capability of continuous monitoring of the product.
