4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

9. 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.

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.

20. 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.

21. 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.
