2. 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?

3. 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.

4. Surface developments Example of a surface development (net) Tongue to hold the lid down. 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. 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.

12. Conformite Europeene CE Symbol – Tells you that the product meets the minimum requirements from the EU directive to be allowed to be put on display.
