The diagram opposite shows how the development / net of the flower box is folded. When held together by the lid, the box forms a fairly solid shape.

 
 

The two halves of the lid hold the three dimensional package together. The box comes apart when the to halves are separated.

     

QUESTION:

The self locking package is to store a small gift.
1. Select an appropriate gift.
2. Add a design to the package. This may be based on a birthday or anniversary theme or any other occasion that you consider important. Add colour and shade.

 
   

The design of the two halves of the lid can be altered to form almost any shape. The example shown below is based on two holding hands.

Cut out the development and fold it to form the three dimensional box.

QUESTION:

 

You have been asked to design a package / development / net for a special occasion.
1. Select a special occasion and replace the two ‘hands’ at the top of the package with an appropriate design.
2. Add a decorative design to the box. For example, if it is packaging for an expensive ring, a picture of the gift could be drawn on the outside surface. You may wish to add the designers name to the package.

 

Consider adding:

a bar code in an appropriate place on the development / net,
the price,
any other important design details (search the internet for ideas).
