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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Assess brief requirements | 1.1 All relevant information in the brief is checked, e.g. carton type, dimensions, material 1.2 All relevant requirements of the brief are assessed in line with enterprise specifications |
2 Select and modify template | 2.1 Appropriate template is selected on the Computer Aided Design (CAD) system 2.2 Height, width and depth and gluing flap dimensions are adjusted according to the client brief 2.3 Requirements for knife setting and stripping in production are checked and position is designed to have correct grain direction and maximise use of material |
3 Use plotter to cut sample | 3.1 Plotter is set up ready for downloading design 3.2 Cutting and creasing depths are set 3.3 Material is positioned correctly 3.4 Plotter is operated safely according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 3.5 Routine machine maintenance is carried out as required |
4 Assemble sample | 4.1 Sample is cut by hand 4.2 Cut sample is folded and glued by hand ensuring angles and construction are correct 4.3 Originals and elements are selected, scaled and cropped appropriately to fit allocated grid space |
5 Check and adjust design | 5.1 Sample is checked to ensure conformance to the client brief 5.2 Design is adjusted if necessary to meet job specifications |
6 Output design | 6.1 Design is saved ready for downloading to forme cutter 6.2 Design is outputted as keyline for artwork or as film 6.3 Relevant paperwork is completed according to enterprise procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
produce TWO different carton designs and samples using existing templates to meet job brief and client specifications
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline work health and safety (WHS) concerns of using computers and plotters
list Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs available for carton design
outline the process to correctly align a cut out positioned in a design
list products these cartons can be used for (sleeves, full flap, auto lock, crash lock, trays)
explain how to determine if the design is appropriate for its end use
outline aspects of product sizing and tolerances that should be rechecked
list carton designs suitable for machine and hand-packing
outline constraints on design and positioning on the forme caused by knife making and production
list manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, identify where they are kept and what information is included.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
