How it's made: Packaging

Through watching video on 'how it's made?', I was able to better understand amount of materials, energy and purpose of each package material. Most interestingky was how offcuts from manufacturing could be reused into the manufacturing process. The source of material was also another important issue as cardboard can just be made from paper, whereas glass is made from sand but also needs limestone and silica, this also contributees to the pricing. Thus these video provided great insight on how packaging materials are made and are important consideration factor when design products.

Aluminum cans
Have to ability to always be recycled, it doesn't deteriorate, is light weight and has a thin construction. 3,000,000 drink can, formed into cans, punches a disc in 5.5 diameter then punches into a can
then recycled into new rolls

Cardboard boxes
Corrugated seperated the board, stacks the board depending on thickness
compress trimers,cutoff are recycled, score lines, cold glue, folds over, stacks

Glass bottles
Glass is made from natural ingredients less energy than metal or plastic, recipe half a design, silca sand, limestone=durability precise amounts in a furnace, producing a gewy liquid, cylindrical,
scope to troughs, jar forming machines
blows compressed air, hallows sulfur n carbon to the glass=amber


Packaging tube
slugs, triming machine makes head, heating coat the inside, protective layer
polyester enamel paint resistant to sun damage
screw capes 12c each

tetra pack
Has the ability to keep food safe for a year made with freshness in mind. Can be used to package smoothies to wine. Made by cutting into individual rolls, smaller rolls chute for folding lightweight, compact, eco friendly

Plastic bottles and jars
PET automated mixers recycled, can't exceed 10%
injecting, 600 degrees melts into plastic, chites into moulds, transform into bottles and jars
single serving juice bottles. re-heat streth, mallebile, stretch and mould, with cold water.
