Lesson 3. Packaging. Fundamentals of Forming and Modeling
Introduction

Continuing the topic of visual image of a prod-


uct, one can not but pay attention to such an impor-
tant advertising medium as packaging. It is impor-
tant not only for its unique design and aesthetics.
Packaging has an equally important function of
protecting, storing, and transporting products of
various manufacturing sectors. Every day we pay
attention to eye-catching, functional, reliable, com-
fortable packaging when we buy food, household
items, electronics, and stuff.
The process of designing and modeling pack-
ing case construction is not limited to creating an
aesthetically attractive design. This is a kind of en-
gineering system that needs the precision of a de- principles of package design, requirements for de-

Lesson 3. Packaging. Fundamentals of Forming and Modeling
History of Packaging

The appearance of packaging can be related to


the need for moving, storing, and exchanging prod-
ucts and attributed to the most ancient times, when
natural materials were used for this purpose: un-
baked clay, leaves, bark, reeds, animal skins. The first
packaging for wine, koumiss, and other liquids can
be considered gourd, a bag made of animal skin.

In the VI millennium BC one begins to use clay


to plaster basket wicker made from vine with it. Pot-
ter's wheel and kiln for deep baking appeared about
IV-III thousand years BC and allowed creating com-
pletely sealed containers.

The appearance of glass is associated with the cul­
ture of Ancient Egypt, where glassy mass was used
to make vials for medicines, fragrances, and balms.
The production process was based on the method
of forming quartz paste around a metal rod in two
ways: either the glass mass was wound up, or the rod
was immersed in glass, then the workpiece was pol-
ished and decorated. The profession of a glassblow-
er will appear later in the Ist century BC in Baby-
lon, where Syrian masters invented a glass blow pipe
and thereby greatly simplified and reduced the cost
of processing glass. After the fall of the Roman Em-
pire in the XIII century, the focus of the glass busi-
ness is the island of Murano in the Venetian Repub-
lic. The technology of making Venetian glass was
strictly classified because the masters created real
works of art. Glass vessels of ancient cultures
As for modern glass packaging, it can be unique,
durable, convenient due to the introduction of a pat-
ent for glass furnace in 1611 in England. On an in-
dustrial scale, glass containers begin to be manu-
factured in parallel with the invention of pressed
glass in 1824; and in the late XIX century, Ameri-
can engineer Michael J. Owens devised a fully au-
tomatic bottle-making machine. In Scotland in the
early XIX century, Janet Keiller invented a wide-
necked glass jar for orange marmalade. Lug lids

Budweiser beer.
Although the first wooden barrels for wine stor-
age appeared in Gallia in 500 BC, it is during the Mid-
dle Ages that a new packaging craft arises — a coo-
per (or hooper) makes barrels from different types
of wood depending on the properties of the product:
oak was used for salt meat, birch and pine for dry and
loose food. Bags made of jute and natural fabrics are
also widely spread.

Tin packaging appeared in the XVIII–XIX cen-
turies. Its prototype was brass and copper snuffbox-
es. Its mass production begins in England. It was
used for packing sponge cakes, tea, biscuits, candies,
and other products. Peter Durand invented a tin can
in 1810, its lid was soldered to the body, and thus an
absolute tightness was achieved. The most success-
ful brand of a can is the Campbells soups designed
by American pop-artist Andy Warhol.
At the beginning of the XVIII century, the pa-

and cheaper than sacks and leather bags. They were
used for packing grain, tobacco, loose products, gro-

invented in 1852 in Pennsylvania. Such packaging
was not very practical and durable, so in 1870 Lu-
ther Crowell patented the technology of producing
a square-bottom paper bag.

However, despite the practicality, durability, and Bags Kill
cheapness, plastic bags take too long to decompose
and this has set new challenges for the society: find
a way to process, refuse to use, or find alternative
environmentally friendly materials. In early 2004,
Kangaroo island in Australia implemented a ban
on plastic bags, and in the autumn of that year,
the United Kingdom launched an alternative inno-
vative biodegradable material.
The first paper machine was invented by French-
man Louis Robert in 1798. In England in 1807, a patent
was issued for a roll paper machine. In 1827, in France
a wax paper appears — a cheap paper covered with lin-
seed oil on one side. In 1853 in England, a patent is is-
sued for manufacturing techniques of parchment. Un-
til 1850, Europe and the United States produced wood
and cardboard boxes by hand only, until the first at-
tempts were made to assemble a folding cardboard
box. In 1879, the owner of the Brooklyn print house,
Robert Gair came to the conclusion that sharp blades
are suitable for cardboard cutting, and dull ones for
creasing and folding, so the first platen machine ap-
peared. But the first product — "Quaker Oats" — was Packaging

In 1865, white wood cardboard was invented in
France, which significantly improved printing quali-
ty. Since 1871, corrugated fibreboard began to be used
for packing glass bottles. In 1874, Oliver Long, Amer-
ican, received a patent on duplex cardboard, in 1882
Robert Thompson, American, patented a double-
faced cardboard, in 1916 a double-double cardboard
is invented, and triple cardboard in 1953.

In the years 1908-1911, Swiss Jacques Edwin Bran-
denberger invented a transparent moisture-resistant
viscose-based material called "cellophane". He also
designed a film making machine. In 1923, the Du
Pont company patented the film production tech-
nology under the trademark Cellophan, and in 1927
it finalized the formula to use this material in the
food industry. In the 1950s, new cheaper materi-
als appeared, such as polyethylene, polypropylene,
lavsan, but nowadays they lose their positions due to
the complex process of biodegradation and high con-
tent of plasticizers.
In 1907, one of the most popular today’s materi-
als appears — plastic. It was based on two inventions:
first, Frederick Kipping developed silicone in Germa-
ny, then Belgian Leo Hendrik Baekeland made phe-
nol-formaldehyde resin. Before the Second World
War, plastic was widely used for production of house-
hold items, figurable and elegant in shape, which met
the requirements of Art Nouveau. Plastic packaging
appeared exactly in wartime in the form of ethyl cel-
lulose jars, plastic containers for transporting weap-
ons, medicines, and products. In 1941, the first ther-
moformed blister packs for pills and polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) appeared. The use of PET ma-

ing company. To date, about one billion of Tetra Pak
packages of various shapes and volumes for dairy
products, juices, wine, sauces, etc. are sold week-
ly. Today the Tetra Laval company provides hygien-

Lesson 3. Packaging. Fundamentals of Forming and Modeling
Exercise 1. Basics of working with paper
Required tools: letter opener with replaceable
blades, steel ruler, triangle with a right angle, pen-
cil, eraser, compass, cardboard, PVA glue. The ideal
way to do the exercises is to create a drawing inde-
pendently, without using graphic editors, thus, fos-
tering a culture of working with the material and
a subtle sense of volume.
Legend:
ƒƒ Thin green line — outward bend cut
ƒƒ Thin blue line — inward bend cut
ƒƒ Thick red line — outward tear line and stripped
internal elements.

If it is a question of processing the fold line,


then before folding the sheet, it is recommended to
make a light cut on the paper so that no creases or
cracks appear. If you do it using Whatman paper
or not too dense flexible cardboard, and you need
to fold along a straight line, you can press the pa-
per with a ruler using a steel paper clip.

Exercise 2. Types of reliefs
Paper reliefs are used in packaging as decorative
elements, shock absorbers, and stiffeners. Compart-
mented inserts in a box of chocolates also belong
to relief designs of packaging.
There are several types of relief, depending on
the method of construction: cutout, slit, incision,
bend, end sticker, border, twisted, weaving, com-
bining several types.

Exercise 3. Primitive volumetric shapes.
Gluing rules
Begin working with volumetric shapes with con-
structing standard primitive geometric shapes since
the primary goal is to get skills in working with
material and tools. When doing this exercise, you
need to be very careful and accurate, it will be use-
ful in the future in solving creative problems. Af-
ter you finished the main drawing of the geomet-
ric shape, add allowances for gluing (10-15mm). It
is recommended to incise the bends slightly with
a sharp knife from the side where sharp bend will
be located. Surfaces of the cone and cylinder should
be cut with straight parallel lines with an interval
of 2-3mm.

Purpose of this exercise: develop an original so-
lution of a more complex three-dimensional shapes
in the orthogonal projection within the simplest
geometric shapes. Of course, the most non-stan-
dard shape can be actually packaged in a standard
quadrangular, hexagonal, etc. packaging, but if it is
a question of developing a unique shape of packag-
ing for such product, the designer needs to develop
voluminous-spatial thinking in a creative way.

Exercise 5. Development of drawings
and production of models of unique
three-dimensional volumes
When constructing complex three-dimension-
al shapes from paper, drafts of which were creat-
ed in the previous exercise, it is important to im-
plement the most rational way of cutting, cutting
out, and gluing. In addition to the basic drawing
of shape-cutting, several projections of the future
object should be performed applying the principles
of descriptive geometry. It is in this form that it is
preferable to demonstrate the packaging product
to the customer in the future.

Exercise 6. Construction of a three-dimension-
al structure based on the orthogonal projection
Before you start to work on drawing and design
a complex three-dimensional structure, go through
the following stages of the detailed draft develop-
ment. At the initial stage, take the simplest geomet-
ric three-dimensional shape as a basis, analyze its
shape and gradually saturate it with the details and
possible distortions, draw all possible versions of
drafts. To create a three-dimensional paper model,
develop a drawing taking into account dimensions,
thickness of the folds, combination of the main
figures and smaller details. Cutting of the draw-
ing should show in detail all elements of the future
three-dimensional structure and take into account
the allowances for gluing and aligning the parts.

Exercise 7. Construction of an integral three-
dimensional form consisting of flat geomet-
ric shapes that are different in shape and size
A variety of options for the resulting three-di-
mensional shape in this exercise can be achieved by
changing various parameters of the shaping figures:
size, shape, displacement, and rotations relative to
each other, deviation relative to the axis of the to-
tal volume. As in the previous exercises, first create
a draft, then a drawing, and eventually create a pa-
per model.

There are several types of modern paper pack- Depending on the material strength, paper pack-
aging depending on the material used and design: aging can be divided into: soft (envelopes, bags,
corrugated cardboard boxes, pressboard boxes, pa- sacks), semi-rigid (folding packs, paper boxes density-
per wrappers, boxes, paper bags and sacks, card- wise inferior to cardboard), rigid (products made of
board trays, drums, molded-pulp containers, pallets, pressed, corrugated, or micro corrugated cardboard),
containers, shells, liners, pads, dampers, partitions, outer packaging (boxes, barrels, and other types of
and so on. external protective and transport packaging).

Soft Packaging. About 20 types of papers are used
for production of soft paper package; they are based
on unimpregnated sack paper and special kraft pa-
per, its density is created through different number
of layers — from 2 to 6. The moisture resistance of
paper is provided by adding resins, rubber latex, im-
pregnation, varnishing, bitumen to the composition
of paper.
Soft packaging includes paper bags: open, glued,
sewn on both sides, sewn bottom, with one-way
valve; flat bags with one creasing without a bottom,
flat bottom bags, flat accordion bags with seaming on
the sides; bulk bags with a conical base, envelopes,
blister packs, capsules.

Semi-rigid Packaging
ECMA Code of folding carton design styles was
developed in 1992 on the basis of the European Com-
mittee for Standardization (CEN). It presents a spe-
cial classification of semi-rigid paper and cardboard
packages.
Group A includes rectangular boxes with a longi-
tudinal glue seam, the outer planes are strictly at right
angles to each other.
Group B includes rectangular bags without longi-
tudinal glue seams. In such boxes and bags, the struc-
tural elements are fixed by a special system of valves
and locks.
Group C includes nonrectangular boxes with lon-
gitudinal seams. The sides of such boxes can be locat-
ed at different angles relative to the bottom and each
other.
Group D includes non-rectangular boxes with-
out longitudinal glue seams, and with fixing valves
and locks
Group E contains boxes of various designs that
are in direct contact with the product being packed
or that form a group package for a set of goods.
Group F includes other paper and cardboard
packages, the designs of which differ from the groups
listed above.
