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

Small ‘cut-ins’ allow the top flap to fold over easily. Flaps push against the top to give a better grip, as the tongue presses harder against front of box. 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. Tongue to hold the lid down. The dashed lines are fold lines. Example of a surface development (net) Surface developments

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

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. TESSALATION AND DIE CUTTING

Finishes 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. Holographic – printing produces a pattern that, Although flat, appears to have three dimensions. Layers of metallic foil are used to achieve this effect.

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS Common use AdvantagesDisadvantages How it works? Offset lithography lithographyNewspapersMagazinesBooks 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. Expensive to set up 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 Expensive packaging Makes brands and logos more visually appealing on packaging Expensive to set up 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. LaminatingMenus 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. Expensive to set up Plastic is blown onto the sides of a mould to form a shape.
