Issue Date: March 2024


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

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a machine for complex 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 complex 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 at least THREE crash lock, six-corner and specialty work carton jobs, using different sizes and weights of cartons and including use of multiple gluing units, 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

access to a Royal 40, Bobst Media or Bobst Domino machine that may include multiple gluing units.

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 when ensuring that the work area is safe and ready for production according to safety requirements

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

planning and organising when setting up the carton blank transportation system before the carton delivery system

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

applying mathematical ideas and techniques when interpreting job requirements from job documentation or the production control system

using technology when using carton folding and gluing machines

problem solving by interpreting results to determine adjustment requirements

Required knowledge

information concerning folding requirements that can be expected to be found in the job documentation or production control system

interpretation of information to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory

factors that must be considered when planning a folding sample

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

areas of the carton blank transportation system that should be monitored to ensure trouble-free operation

parts of the carton blank pick-up system that should be adjusted to ensure accurate and continuous sheet handling

areas of the delivery system that should be observed to maintain neat delivery of finished work

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

checks to be made when substrate is removed from the machine

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

largest/smallest size carton blank that can be processed on this machine

ways that the machine can be adapted to facilitate smaller/larger stock

accuracy of a carton blank entering folding rollers

causes of scratching/scuffing of substrate during transportation

speed of the machine

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

problems that can be expected if the machine rollers are set too loose

problems that can be expected if there is too much roller pressure

problems that can be expected if the delivery system is not set correctly

correct roller pressure for a given job

roller pressures checks to be made for correctness

adjusted to be made if the carton blank is out-of-square

reasons for the sheet being out-of-square

adjustment to ensure that the carton blanks are not smudging/"scuffing"

adjustment to be made if the sheet will not leave the folding unit

steps necessary to set up the gluing units

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

adhesive that is used in the gluing unit

adjustment of the length of the glue line

causes of out-of-square folding and explain how each may be corrected

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 coincide with the sample

areas of the machine that should be adjusted if carton blank is creasing

areas of the machine that should be adjusted if carton blank is not entering the machine

items that must be checked against the client's sample

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.

Glue may include:

PVA and holt melt glue.

Machinery may include:

a Royal 40, a Bobst Media, a Bobst Domino and may include the use of multiple gluing units.

Carton board may include:

different sizes and weights of cartons.

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.
