What Is It

PACKAGING OF FINISHED PROJECTS/PRODUCTS

Good design isn’t just about the product, it’s about good packaging as
well. It makes their products just a bit more fun to use.

Packaging
-wrapping of products to make them safe from damages during transportation
and storage. It keeps a product safe and marketable; helps in identifying,
describing, and promoting the product. Aside from the protection of the
products or goods, the packaging materials also attract the buyer.

Packaging Materials for Projects/Products

Creative and artistic packaging lies on the hand of the packager. You
may use all the materials you think would help in making your package more
presentable.

Product packaging is about communication and persuasion. Sometimes,

aside from the quality, consumers are attracted to buy the product because of
its appearance. They tend to compare the same products according to the
packaging options.

One should be equipped with bright and creative ideas in order to come
up with a good package design or style. The manner you pack your product
highly reflects the kind of person you are. It shows the creativity and
innovativeness in you. This also shows how you value your item.

Here are some packaging materials needed in quilted projects/products:

Materials Definitions
1. Carton
- light box or container usually made
of cardboard or plastic

2. Cellophane
- transparent sheet that is used for
wrapping or packing

3. Packing Tape
- transparent adhesive to wrap
around the box

4. Bubble Wrap
- pliable transparent plastic material
used to pack fragile materials

5. Marking Pen
- pen with a thick tip made of felt or
fabric

For a packaging design to be considered good, it should not only look

fantastic, but also should clearly project the message the manufacturer wants

4
to convey so the consumers can get it. This is not an easy feat, but there are a
few creative packaging designs that get this right.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FINISHED PRODUCTS

Quality project or product refers to customer’s satisfaction. It means we

deal with the standards of customers for they have the buying power. We need
to understand also that as a craft maker, we have our control in producing
quality products.

1. Good quilting materials - The type of fabrics and thread should also be
considered that will fit the project you are planning.
2. Symmetry in making quilted product - balance and proportion in terms of
size, forms and colors. Application in the elements of arts and design of the
project must be followed.

3. Instructions in quilting are properly followed - techniques and methods

are very important in achieving authentic, quality and marketable product.

Evaluate finished product

After making the project or product, it is very important that we evaluate
and delve of its purpose. Quality is very essential when making the product.
How do you achieve a quality product? Why do we need to produce quality
product? What criteria do we follow?

On this topic, there are two things we evaluate, you as the handicraft
worker and your finished product. The handicraft worker is evaluated through
your performance such as the design of the product, materials, methods or
techniques you use, and lastly, how do you work as a craft worker or producer.
The second is your finished product; as you go through the process of
producing, there are essential questions you must consider. Am I satisfied with
what I made? Will my future customer like it? So, you as a craftsman, should
consider your design, techniques, materials and your workmanship.
