• Each appropriate reason 1 mark

• Eg stronger, more durable, waterproof, will last longer, does not bend or break easily, easier to clean, does not get damaged easily

• Steel that is recyclable • Product and/or

material is capable of being recycled

• Aluminium that is recyclable

• Glass that is recyclable

• Each appropriate property (1 mark each) eg waterproof, good surface to print on, strong but flexible, will not break easily, comes ready coloured, easily cleaned, durable, lightweight, rigid, easy to cut and shape, easy to fold

Common written questions

• Flat packed -Easier/cheaper to post/transport, Takes up less space, Not so easily damaged as if it were assembled ,Saves manufacturer time

• Embossing - Knowledge of embossing being a raised surface, Some attempt to show the process ie the card coming in and being squeezed

• Perforation – partially cut line to make it easier to tear apart

• Die cutting• Smart materials – thermochromic inks change with

temperature, photochromic inks change with light

Desk Top Publishing

• (c) (i) Box tool chosen (from quick shapes) • Position corner and drag diagonally to required size • Accept straight line tool and explanation of four lines being drawn • Circle tool chosen (from quick shapes) • Centre located and drag cursor to get correct size (1) • (1) • (1) • (1) [4] • (ii) Pointer tool chosen and moved over Eye logo • Click cursor and drag or move logo (to required position) (1) • (1) [2] • (iii) Text tool chosen • Type text and move to correct position

• Do not have to wait for glue to dry • Not as messy as glue • No extra materials required • Takes up less space • Costs less to send • Less likely to be damaged • Cheaper for manufacturer to produce • Easier to assemble • Easier to transport • Less work for manufacturer

• Same design of tray or label can be used for other purposes

• Can be cheaper to produce • Can be more environmentally friendly • Can be easier to recycle • Lower cost as one box and range of labels • Labels cheaper/easier to print than boxes (1) • Easier to personalise

PROPERTIES OF FOAMBOARD

• Lightweight material • Smooth surface • Easy to print on • Rigid • Disadvantages of foamboard = difficult to cut,

bend, join, recycle• THREE LAYERS – A LAYER OF FOAM

SANDWHICHED BETWEEN TWO LAYERS OF CARDBOARD

• (b) 2 answers from: Can reduce waste/save material, experiment with or modify positions of net, saves labour costs/time, can tessellate nets

• Not just easier/quicker or cheaper 2 x (1) [2]

• (c) Stages in process: • 1. Access the picture ie

download the picture to the PC or print the photo (1)

• 2. Modify image to size and/or shape required (on PC or manually cut to shape) (1)

• 3. Paste onto Net

• (a) Knowledge of proportions of A2/A5 paper (could be sketches or notes) (1)

• Suitable arrangement (2 rows of 4 sheets). (1)

[2] • (b) Correct number of A5

leaflets – 8 leaflets. (1)[1]

• (c) 500 microns too thick for a flyer (1) [1]

• (d) Suitable weight of paper ie 80-120

• Always write DIGITAL camera

• Use SKETHCES and NOTES

• Easier to bend • No need for shiny finish on back of card/can be

applied to one side • Cheaper process/materials than laminating (not

just ‘cheaper’)

• Advantage of lamination = makes bookmark more durable/ stronger easier to clean gives it a gloss finish/glossy, waterproof

• Advantages of sticky back/self adhesive vinyl = able to be printed on, able to be stuck on different surfaces, waterproof, self coloured, easy to cut, Easy to stick on, Gives good finish, Flexible

• Recycled card/paper – reference to hygiene• Corrugated card – advantages = lightweight, durable,

can be recycled, rigid, relatively inexpensive. Disadvantages = uneven surface for printing on, corners can be damaged, difficult to cut and bend

• Inkjet printer = colour, small amounts / individual

• Screen printing = colour, used on T-shirts

• Lithography = colour, large numbers

Never write

• Easy

• Quick

• Cheap

• Strong

CAD

• Do not have to redraw design each time • Changes can be made to design • Design can be resized easily • Different colours can be tried • Design can be sent electronically • Easy to move design around to try different

layouts • Designs are not easily lost or damaged
