Function and scope of Packaging
Packaging may have two major functions:
1. Distribution The distribution function deals with packaging theapparel or allied product in a manner which permits the apparelmanufacturer to ship the product at lowest cost and/ or in theshortest time to the purchaser, without diminishing the quality of the product
2. Merchandising The merchandising function deals withpresenting the apparel product in a manner designed tostimulate consumer desire for the product.
SCOPE: Retaining - The products durability andStyle specifications during the journey
from the factory to the retailer.

Quality deterrents that have to be prevented in packaging practically allconsumer items are:
1. Creasing2. Crushing and3. Dust
Military apparel and apparel destined for export or shipment toextremes of climatic conditions, must be packaged to protect theproduct against hazards such as:
wetting, mildew, fungus, excessive light and handling damage.
Handling damage refers to tears, creases and stains inflicted whenthe package is broken by shipping handlings

Physical protection - The objects enclosed inthe package may require protection from,among other things, shock, vibration,
compression, temperature, etc.
Barrier protection - A barrier from oxygen,water vapor, dust, etc., is often required,
keeping the contents clean, fresh, and safefor the intended shelf life is a primaryfunction.

Security - Packaging can play an important role in reducingthe security risks of shipment. Packages can be made withimproved tamper resistance to deter tampering and alsocan have tamper-evident features to help indicatetampering.
To reduce the risks of package pilferage, Packages mayinclude authentication seals to indicate that the packageand contents are not counterfeit.
Packages also can include anti-theft devices, such as dye-packs, RFID tags, or electronic article surveillance tags,that can be activated or detected by devices at exit pointsand require specialized tools to deactivate.

Convenience - Packages can have featureswhich add convenience in distribution,handling, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use,and reuse.
Portion control - Single serving or single dosagepackaging has a precise amount of contents tocontrol usage.Bulk commodities (such as salt) can be divided
into packages that are a more suitable size forindividual households.It also aids the control of inventory: sellingsealed one-liter-bottles of milk, rather thanhaving people bring their own bottles to fillthemselves.

TYPES OF PACKAGE FORMS:
The basic types of package forms used in apparel and alliedproducts are bags, boxes, cartons, cases, crates, twines (or cords)and wrappers
In merchandizing packaging, the product is packaged in the
container in which the customer is expected to receive the product.The product may be packaged singly such as shoes or in multiplesuch as hose.
Shipping packaging is the packaging in which the retailer receivesThe products in bulk form.
A merchandising package is a shipping package if the shippinghandlers (truck men or freight men) handle the same individualBulk forms the retailer will pass on to the consumer.

Cases and crates are made basically of wood, where asboxes and cartons are made of cardboard and/ or plastic.
Bags and wrappers are made of plastic film.
A case is a package which has no openings in any of its sides.
A crate is a package which has openings or spaces between thewood boards which make up its sides or ends.
Boxes are containers with separate covers.
A box contains two or more pieces.
Cartons are containers which do not have separate covers
A carton is a one piece container.
Boxes and cartons are either of the folding or set-up type.

The folding box or carton does not require staples, glue or tape to holdits sides in shape. The cut of a box or carton permits the box or carton
to be folded and shaped from a flat sheet or sheets of paper or paper board.
The set up box or carton requires staples, glue, tape or some other device to retain the shape into which the paper or paper board hasbeen folded.
Bags are non rigid containers made from paper or plastic film. Thesecontainers do not have the rigid structural form present in boxes,cartons, cases and crates.
The two basic types of bag containers are Sacks and envelops.The most popular bag forms are the flat, square, satchel bottom and
Automatic self opening.
Envelopes are non rigid containers which have flap extensions on oneSide of the container for closing the container.
-

Sacks do not have flap covers. The sack is closed by folding allsides of the opening in a closure pattern
Wrap packages are parcels made by encasing the products in sheetpaper or plastic film. The wrapping does not have the basic structureof a sack or envelop. The sides and bottom of sacks and envelops
are always sealed, whereas a wrapper is an unsealed non-rigidsheet.
Sacks and envelopes are usually fabricated before the packaging.Wrappers are secured in the package formation with sealing tape,cords or bands.
Cords or bands are non rigid linear mediums which are used tomake packaging similar in structural principle to that of the crate.

Vacuum packaging was introduced in the1970s by Swematex AB of Sweden.
The system consists of:1. Reducing the moisture content of the
garment2. Encasing the garment in a plastic film sack3. The air in the sack and garment is vacuumed
out4. The plastic sack is then sealed at the end of
vacuum & compression cycle.

Functions:-1) To reduce the shipping bulk of
finished garments2) To reduce the finishing weight of
garments shipped3) To prevent a garment from
accumulating dust orobjectionable odors before andduring shipping
4) To prevent garments from
acquiring wrinkles or creases,during shipping, which will haveto be removed before the retailerdisplays the garment
5) To minimize storage space forboth manufacturer and retailer.

Vacuum packaging is used not only for packing and storing garments,But also for packaging household accessories made from textiles,Such as blankets, bed spreads, pillows and towels anything with bulkcan easily be compressed.
The moisture content is removed by placing the hung garment on aConveyor through a conditioning chamber which decreases moisturecontent of the garments with hot air and then cools it to a giventemperature in cool dry air, prior to encasing it in its plastic film sack.
This conditioning process permits the garment to be compressed withvacuum action without wrinkles or creases which remain in the garmentafter the sealed vacuum pack is opened
When the vacuum pack is opened after it reaches its retail destination,the fabric readily absorbs the necessary moisture to attain its normalstability and thus immediately sheds any wrinkles or creases incurredduring the vacuuming
-
7/28/2019 Packaging & Folding Class
53/61
Removal of the moisture content prior to its vacuuming andEncasement prevents any creases or wrinkles incurred duringencasement, because in order for a wrinkle or crease to have anyRetention, the fabric must have a certain degree of moisture, whichgives it the plasticity necessary to form retainable wrinkles andcreases.
Hence the absence of sufficient moisture in the garment precludesthe formation of wrinkles or creases which are plasticized in tosuch forms.

Folding is a very important part of thegarment because it adds to theaesthetic appeal of the garment, helps
in the transportation of the lot, protectscrease recovery, protects it from dust,stains etc.
Folding in fabrics reduces space andhelps in transportation.
