STEP 2

EXPLANATION           

She explains the types of packaging and gives examples of each

1. PRIMARY PACKAGING

Primary packaging is the packaging in direct contact with the product itself and is sometimes referred to as a consumer unit

 

Some examples: a crisp packet, a wine bottle, a can, a chocolate bar wrapper etc

 

2. SECONDARY PACKAGING

This type of packaging is used outside of primary packaging to group a certain number of products to create a stock-keeping unit. It facilitates the handling of smaller products by collating them into a single pack.

Some examples include cardboard cartons, cardboard boxes, cardboard/plastic crates, trays, paperboard cartons, shrink wrapped bundles, trayed PET bottles held with shrink wrap, taped or glued cardboard cartons containing cans of food, cans inside a paperboard carton, etc

 

3. TERTIARY PACKAGING

Often also referred to as bulk or transit packaging, this type of packaging is used to group larger quantities of Stock Keeping Units to transport them from point A to point B (e.g. from production facility to point of sale)

 

Some examples are brown cardboard boxes, wood pallets and shrink wrap

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

The teacher explains the meaning of seams, types and steps in making seams

Seam is the joining of two pieces (as of cloth or leather) by sewing usually near the edge.

 

Types of seams

1. Plain seam. A plain seam is the simplest type of seam and can be used on almost any item.

2. Double-stitched seam.  

3. French seam.

4. Bound seam.  

5. Flat-felled seam.  

6. Welt seam.

7. Lapped seam.

 

Steps in making seam

For an open seam

1.   Finish the raw edges of your two pieces of fabric.

2.   Place the right sides of the fabric pieces together.

3.   Sew a stitch line with chosen seam allowance amount down the length of the fabric pieces.

4.   Press the seam with a steam iron to ‘set the stitches’.

5.   Press the seam ‘open’ – one seam allowance to one side, and one seam allowance to the other!
