Significance and Use4.1 This guide assists users in design and development of packaging intended for the protection of goods while they are in transitfrom point of origin to final destination. By following all steps of this guide, users will be assured

25、that the most important factorsare included in package design. In some cases, the sequence of steps may be changed, and often the steps may occur simultaneouslywith concurrent work activities.4.2 The design process focuses on protection from hazards of handling, storage, and shipping while recognizi

26、ng the economicsof all other facets of distribution, including packaging materials and labor, and transportation.4.3 In transport packaging, distribution is generally defined as inclusion of handling, storage, and transportation factors.5.

31、, Suite 985, Itasca, IL, 60143; http:/www.fibrebox.org.D6198 1825.1.1 Although no single procedure can be expected to meet all requirements for all design options, there are general areas ofinformation that are necessary for the design process to be most useful. The more information in each of these

32、 areas that can beobtained accurately, the greater the probability of optimizing the final design for cost performance utility, timeliness, andenvironmental considerations. Other interested parties, such as customers or end users, should be contacted for any specificpackage design criteria.5.1.2 The

33、 following sequence, listed in 5.2 5.12, may not always be applicable to every design process and may be changedto fit particular circumstances, products, markets, distribution methods, etc. Environmental hazards presented by the distributionenvironment (see 5.4) may be known long before a new produ

34、ct (see 5.2) is fully designed or ready for distribution (see 5.3). Suchknowledge can in fact contribute to the design of the product to ultimately reduce the amount of packaging that will eventuallybe required.The user of this guide is encouraged to examine each particular situation and decide the

35、best order in which to proceed,without omitting any of the basic steps that follow.5.2 Identify Physical Characteristics of the Package ContentsIt is important to know more about the package contents (goods)than simply its dimensions and weight. The package designer must be aware of physical and che

36、mical characteristics andhazardous properties so proper packaging can be developed.These include: susceptibility to abrasion, corrosion, temperature, staticelectricity, or magnetic fields; the ability to hold a load in compression, the contents ability to withstand the effects of shock andvibration

37、during distribution, and intended shelf life. See Test Methods D3332 and D3580 for methods of determining shock andvibration fragility of products.5.3 Determine Marketing and Distribution Requirements:5.3.1 Package design must include consideration of marketing and distribution requisites in additio

38、n to product characteristics.These requirements, in many cases, take the form of marketing graphics, product identification, and compliance labeling.5.3.1.1 Compliance labeling can also take many forms. Some items to consider are identification of country of origin, hazardousmaterials transportation

39、 regulations,Truth in Packaging requirements, and bar coding. Besides the actual printed graphics, one maywant to consider proper substrate for printing and any required coatings.5.3.1.2 Distribution requirements can likewise take on many forms of consideration including: the number of units that wi

40、ll shipin a container; the composition and attributes of the primary package; the identity of customers and their handling and storagerequirements; the package disposal criteria; total volume expected per shift/day/year; expected life cycle; the planned modes oftransport; domestic and international

41、rules or regulations for packaging via those transport modes; types of distribution channels;maximizing loads in carrier vehicles; freight classification; handling and storage requirements; production equipment; environ-mental issues; etc.5.3.1.3 This listing is not all inclusive and other considera

42、tions than these also may be important to the total package design.5.4 Identify Environmental Hazards Your Packages May EncounterKnowledge of the distribution environment is key todesigning an optimum transport package. Major hazards to be expected in the environment are: rough handling; vibration a

43、ndshock in-transit; compression in storage or in-transit; high humidity and water; atmospheric pressure; salt/corrosion; staticelectricity; temperature extremes; pilferage; insect infestation; and concentrated impact forces. Identifying these hazards andquantifying them may include observation, cond

44、ucting measurements, or reading research reports (see the references listed inPractice D4169).5.5 Consider All Available Alternatives : Alternatives:5.5.1 There are many alternatives available for shipping containers, interior protective packaging, and unit loads. All should beconsidered and reviewe

45、d before selecting the final types for further development. Trade-off comparison analysis techniques oftenhelp in the selection process. Rather than considering only materials that one has experience with, comparing paper versus plasticversus wood versus metal is a good exercise at times to assure t

46、he optimum solution for a particular project.5.5.2 Three major factors influencing selection of alternatives are: package performance, total system cost, and environmentalimpact of materials.5.5.2.1 The final package design will also have a significant impact on overall distribution costs. It will i

47、nfluence materials costs,labor costs, capital requirements, overhead allocations, handling costs, freight and transportation costs, damage costs, and thosecosts and issues involved with the eventual disposal of the package components.5.5.2.2 The overall environmental impact of a design may be quite

48、difficult to quantify. Factors such as broad access to recyclingsystems or markets will have significant impact on this issue. One commonly used approach to dealing with environmental impactfor broadly distributed goods has been to use a design approach prioritizing the common concerns of Reduce, Re

49、use, Recycle,Energy Recovery, and Safe Disposal. For packages developed for products having focused markets in specific locations, it maybe more beneficial to emphasize a single element of the preceding concerns (that is, returnable packaging for products sold onlylocally, and so forth). The design approach could also be altered to either increase environmental efficiency or comply withappropriate regulations, legislation, or organization policies.5.5.2.3 One means of evaluating the overall effectiveness of a package design is to benchmark or compare it to designs
