THE CHARITY LOGO BEING SUPPORTED LOGO IS PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED BOLD SIMPLISTIC CHARITY NAME IS PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED INFORMATIVE BOX IS IN THE SHAPE OF THE CHARITY LOGO BEING SUPPORTED MADE OUT OF CARD OR PLASTIC WHAT DO THESE CHARITY BOXES HAVE IN COMMON?

PRODUCT ANALYSIS – dissect the products Easy to assemble, carry Easy to read font, silhouette of an image used without the use of too much detail. Easy to insert money, store money. High quality graphics printed onto card using offset Lithography. Graphics protected with Varnish/spot varnishing. Made out of card, plastic (PVC – Polyvinyl chloride) Bright, contrasting colours Used.

Example of a surface development (net) Surface developments Example of a surface development (net) Flaps push against the top to give a better grip, as the tongue presses harder against front of box. Small ‘cut-ins’ allow the top flap to fold over easily. Tongue to hold the lid down. One glue tab only: this reduces cost and speeds up assembly. The width of the glue tab should only be a few mm less than the side. The dashed lines are fold lines.

Self-locking boxes An example of a simple locking mechanism. A complete self-locking box. These can be used for packaging heavier objects. Crash bottom and interlocking containers.

TESSALATION AND DIE CUTTING Industry aims to reduce waste and keep costs low. Most high-speed production lines cut out the nets using a process called ‘die cutting’. This is computer-aided manufacture (CAM). To do this, each net is positioned to fit as closely as possible to the next. There is just a small gap to allow for the width of the cutting blades. This process is called tessellation. Less wasted card reduces the environmental impact and keeps raw material costs to the bare minimum. Die cutting is similar to high- tech pastry cutting. Blades are arranged to cut the outline and as they are pressed down, other, less sharp blades will either lightly score or compress the fibres on the fold lines. In this way, the outline is cut through completely and the folds are scored for easy assembly.

Finishes Holographic – printing produces a pattern that, Although flat, appears to have three dimensions. Layers of metallic foil are used to achieve this effect. Foil blocking works by stamping pre-glued metallic foil onto the printed surface by heat and pressure. It is used on cards and expensive Packaging.

Most common method used in mass production Fast Expensive to set up INDUSTRIAL PROCESS Common use Advantages Disadvantages How it works? Offset lithography Newspapers Magazines Books High quality finish Most common method used in mass production Fast Expensive to set up Consists of 4 printing plates (CMYK) Each plate transfers the image onto paper The image needs to pass through all four plates before image is transferred onto paper Vacuum Forming Trays , casing and containers Protects product inside of the packaging. Sheets of thermoplastics are heated and shaped over a mould Foil blocking Christmas cards Expensive packaging Makes packaging more visually appealing Expensive Pre- glued metallic foil is stamped onto paper and card by using heat and pressure. Embossing Makes brands and logos more visually appealing on packaging Raises part of the card surface by applying five tonnes of pressure to a steel dye or stamp onto the surface. Die cutting To cut accurate 2D nets Can cut thousands of 2D net accurately. Very fast Serrated blades on the dye cutter are expensive to make so only use when mass producing a 2D net Rounded edges or serrated edges forms the outside of the die which and is stamped into a press forme base which is made out of plywood. Laminating Menus Strengthens paper or card Improves appearance Produces a wipe of surface Plastic can over heat on the steel rollers and can effect production The process involves heat sealing a thin layer of plastic to the printed surface using heat and pressure from big steel rollers. Varnishing CD covers Magazine covers Book covers Protects the colour applied on the paper/ gives paper a matt, satin or gloss finish. Can dry slowly onto paper if UV light not applied Varnish is sprayed onto a printed surface and then it is passed under a UV light which dries the varnish immediately. Blow moulding Milk bottles, Easter egg casing Keeps food products fresh and protected. Plastic is blown onto the sides of a mould to form a shape.

Homework task 1 Generate 6 creative, different design ideas for collecting money for charities. The charity will be your own choice (LOROS, Age Concern, NSPCC …). The drawings need to be pictorial (3-D) . You must add graphics (logo, imagery etc.). The designs ideas must be presented in colour and must be shaded and outlined. Through labelling and annotations you must explain the concept behind each one of your ideas and write what material and techniques will be used to create them.

Homework task 2 Draw nets (developments) for the 3 – d shapes below. The nets are for collecting money for charities therefore you must take that into consideration and allow for an opening big enough to fit money through (notes and coins). In addition to the above you must consider how the charities will empty the containers. Glue tabs must be added, cutting and scoring lines must be identified. Accuracy of measuring is essential.
