Qualification -
Unit of Competency ICPPRP481 - Design complex carton
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design cartons for which no templates exist.It requires the individual to design an original complex carton that meets job specifications and substrate characteristics, and then produce an accurate prototype.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess brief requirements
  • Discuss brief with client to ensure requirements are understood
  • Check that all relevant information is in the brief, i.e. end use, dimensions and product characteristics
       
Element: Design carton to suit brief requirements
  • Determine appropriate carton style, size, material and calliper to meet the client brief
  • Use scanners or digitisers to import design material into computer program
  • Draw design using computer program
  • Set height, width and depth and gluing flap dimensions to meet requirements of the client brief
  • Requirements for knife setting, stripping and gluing in production are checked and position is designed so grain direction is correct and use of material is maximised
       
Element: Use plotter to cut sample
  • Output device (e.g. plotter) is set up ready for downloading design
  • Cutting and creasing depths are set
  • Calliper of material is checked
  • Material is positioned correctly
  • Output device is operated safely according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures
  • Routine machine maintenance is carried out
       
Element: Assemble sample
  • Sample is cut by hand adopting safe practices
  • Cut sample is folded and glued by hand ensuring angles and construction are correct
       
Element: Check and adjust design
  • Sample is checked for conformance to the client brief
  • Design is adjusted if necessary to meet job specifications
       
Element: Output design
  • Design is saved ready for downloading to forme cutter
  • Design is outputted as keyline for artwork or as film, as required
  • Relevant paperwork is completed
