Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit requires the individual to set up a machine for basic carton folding and gluing.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a machine for basic carton folding and gluing.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

set up machine to produce a range of simple straight line folded and glued cartons as required in normal production on, for example, a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

set up machine on at least FOUR occasions for basic straight line folding and gluing of cartons with different weights and sizes of carton board according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

for example a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication skills when reading and interpreting job requirements from job documentation or production control system

planning and organising by setting up the carton blank transportation system before setting up for folding and gluing

teamwork when maintaining the production process by working in association with others

using technology by using carton folding and gluing machines

problem solving by interpreting results to determine adjustment requirements

Required knowledge

information concerning folding requirements that you would expect to find in the job documentation or production control system

OHS factors that must be considered when setting up folder transportation and delivery systems

areas of the sheet-fed transportation system that should be monitored to ensure trouble-free operation

areas of the delivery system that should be observed to prevent damage to the finished product

ways that folded sheets can be secured for dispatch

OHS factors that must be considered when setting up and/or adjusting the folding unit

causes of scratching/scuffing of substrate during transportation

speed determination of the machine

problems that can be expected if the machine is running too fast

roller pressures checks for correctness

adjustments made if the sheet is out-of-square

possible reasons for the sheet being out-of-square

adjustments made to ensure that the sheets are not smudging/"scuffing"

adjustments made if the sheet will not leave the folding unit

OHS factors that must be considered when adjusting the inkjet printer

steps that should be taken to ensure correct alignment of the inkjet printer

adjustments made to keep units correctly positioned

OHS areas that must be addressed when setting up these areas of the machine

OHS safeguards that are necessary with hot melt adhesives

determining the correct binding technique for a job

methods of adhesive metering present on the machine

care that should be taken to ensure a neat and clean adhesive binding job

segments of quality assurance that would be inspected at the completion of the sample run

communication action that should be instigated if the job is out-of-square

communication action that should be instigated if ink is too wet for production

communication action that should be instigated if the job does not conform to QA checking

machine manuals and safety documentation that are relevant to this task and where they are kept and information that is included in these documents

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Folding and gluing may include:

straight-line folding and gluing of cartons.

Machines may include:

a Royal 40, a Bobst Media, a Bobst Domino.

Carton board may include:

different weights and sizes of carton board.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
