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  /  Nets  

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  –  prinUng  produces  a  pa#ern  that,  Although  flat,  appears  to  have  three  dimensions.  

Layers  of  metallic  foil  are  used  to  achieve  this  effect.

Common use Advantages Disadvantages How it works?

Offset lithography

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.

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.

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.

Expensive to set up

Plastic is blown onto the sides of a mould to form a shape.

Task  1:  CreaRng  original  designs  

Generate  6  creaRve,  different  design  ideas  for  collecRng  money  for  chariRes.  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  annotaRons  you  must  explain  the  concept  behind  each  one  of  your  ideas  and  write  what  material  and  techniques  will  be  used  to  create  them.

How  will  your  design  drawings  be  marked?  

Homework  task      

Draw  nets  (developments)  for  the  3  –  d  shapes  below.  

The    nets  are  for  collecRng  money  for  chariRes  therefore  you  must  take  that  into  consideraRon    and  allow  for  an  opening  big  enough  to  fit  money  through  (notes  and  coins).  

In  addiRon  to  the  above  you  must  consider  how  the  chariRes  will  empty  the  containers.  

Glue  tabs  must  be  added,  cuhng  and  scoring  lines  must  be  idenRfied.
