I. Introduction (Time Frame: 20 minutes)

In this lesson, you will learn packing and unpacking raw materials, products and supplies.

Packaging is the process of packing that is part of the production cycle. This is applied to a bulk product to obtain the
finished product. Packaging includes any material including painted material, employed in the packaging of a product
and any outer packaging used for transportation of shipment. Packaging materials are referred to as primary, secondary
and tertiary depending on to whether they are in direct contact with the product or not.

This lesson was designed in order for you to:

a. identify different kinds of packages used for raw materials, products, and supplies;
b. observe regulations when packing food products.

D. Development (Time Frame: 60 minutes)

A. Kinds of Packages Used for Raw Materials, Products, and Supplies

Burlap or Gunny Sack-Burlap is a coarse cloth made of jute (also termed hessian), flax or hemp. It
could be coarse or fine meshed.

Mesh or net bag-a non- rigid container of fibrous material and characterized by an open weave. It
is usually made of polypropylene filaments. It is often called by the color of the bag as red or orange
bags.

Polyethylene bag is commonly used as transport containers usually they are 5-10 kg capacity.

Palm Leaf bag is commonly used for field collection or for shipping small volumes of commodities to
nearby markets.

Basket is flexible or rigid container woven from bamboo or rattan strips and come in many shapes
and sizes. They have straight or sloping 184 sides so they can or cannot be nested. A basket is
nestable if it can be inserted inside another basket.

Sack of woven plastic fabric is usually recycled. This is originally used for rice, fertilizer or other
materials.
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Wooden crate is made of sawn lumber, plywood, veneer or bamboo and come in various sizes and
shapes. A crate is a box with more open construction, made of slats and has open spaces at the
sides and bottom. A box is a solidly walled and usually rectangular-shaped container.

Carton is a box made of cardboard, paperboard or fiberboard. Cardboard, paperboard and

fiberboard are made of paper sheets of varying numbers so that they differ in thickness, with
fiberboard as the thickest and cardboard, the thinnest. Cardboard is made of intermediate thickness
between paper and paperboard. Fiberboard is made of paper sheets laminated to a thickness
which provides a degree of stiffness. Cartons could be telescopic or open top (sometimes called
regular). A carton is telescopic when the cover is separate from the main carton. The cover is slightly
bigger than the main part so it can fit snugly when closed. An open top carton is one in which the
cover consists of 4 flaps which, when folded, acts as cover.

Plastic Crate could be returnable or one-trip packages. Those which are not durable are one-trip
packages, some are designed as nestable; it has a plastic cover or none at all in which case the
crate above it acts as a cover.

Foamed Plastic Box is a material used is plastic, either polystyrene or polyurethane, made light and
spongy by introducing pockets of air or gas. It is usually for iced commodities transported in non-
refrigerated vehicles or for expensive commodities such as grapes transported in refrigerated trucks.

B. Techniques in Packing

Volume Filling is a technique in packing wherein food products are poured into the container.

Vibration Filling is a technique in packing which is done by vibrating equipment.

Jumble Filling is a technique in packing wherein food products are packed disregarding the size
but not weight.

Tight Filling is a technique in packing wherein food products are packed tightly in a container.

Regardless of the method, observe the following regulations when packing food products:

1. Immobilize the food products as much as possible, that is, it should be of uniform sizes to minimize spaces within the pack.
2. Fill only to capacity of container. Do not overfill.
3. Gently handle packed food products, even if the package is strong enough to protect the food products.
4. Pack in a cool place with adequate ventilation.
5. Container should be clean; when container is reused, it should be thoroughly washed.
6. Place packages in an upright position.
7. Pack according to one common stage of maturity or degree of ripeness of the fruit.

A. Assimilation (Time Frame: 20 minutes)

Packing and packaging materials contribute a significant cost to the product industry; therefore, it is important that
packers, shippers, buyers and consumers have a clear understanding of the wide range of packaging options available. This
factsheet describes some of the many types of packaging, including their functions, uses and limitations. Also included is a
listing, by commodity, of the common produce containers standard to the industry.
The package must identify and provide useful information about the product. It is customary (may be required in some
cases) to provide information such as the product name, brand, size, grade, variety, net weight, count, grower, shipper and
country of origin. It is also becoming more common to find included on the package nutritional information, recipes and other
useful information directed specifically at the consumer. In consumer marketing, package appearance has also become an
important part of point of sale displays.
