2. What is the role of packaging?
The primary purposes of packaging are: to contain and preserve products,
and to inform people about them, as well as to promote and display the
products they contain.
The packaging industry is divided up into three
areas of focus:
'Primary' (or 'Sales') packaging: is packaging which forms a sales unit for the user or final consumer, for example, a box containing soap powder
'Secondary' (or 'Grouped') packaging: is that which contains a number of sales units, for example, a cardboard boxes containing a number of boxes of soap powder.
'Tertiary' (or 'Transport') packaging: is packaging that is used to group secondary packaging together to aid handling and transportation and prevent damage to the products, for example, the pallet and shrink wrap used to transport a number of cardboard boxes containing boxes of soap powder.

3. Understanding what Tetra Pak is?
Task 1:
Watch the Youtube clip. Whilst you watch the clip you are to create a mind map of all the key points as you watch it. You may want to watch it twice
to do this well. 
Task 2:     
Complete the quick quiz
Task Three:    
Find out the following:
Why tetra pak are hard to recycle?
How are they better or worse?
Who invented the Tetra pak and when?
Create a visual example of Tetra pak via a collage.
You may want to start with this search that I have done for you: “What are the alternatives to using tetra Packs for packaging drinks”.
Present your findings on one page. Print and place in your research folder.

manufacturing process of a tetra pack ?
 To prevent the paint from smudging if it gets wet.

The Tetra Packs are manufactured on production lines by machines.
What is the main advantages of this? Select Three Choices
 It is a quicker process than by hand which means it is cheaper for the manufacturer
 It is more dangerous so only skilled workers can do it
 Less workers are required so it means the packages can be made more cheaply
 It is more acurate which means the packaging is a higher quality
 It is expensive to set up
