Video Reflection: How its made- packaging

This series "how its made- packaging" was actually pretty interesting seeing how packaging we use everyday were actually produced. It showed the different processes of how different types of packaging was made. The different types of packaging they went through were:

1. Molded pulp containers
2. Glass Bottles
3.Packaging Tube
4.Tetra Pak Containers
5. Card boxes
6. Pharmaceutical Blister Packs.

The two that interest me the most were the pharmaceutical blister packs and the packaging tubes. With the pharmaceutical blister packs they go through a lot of testing to make sure the medicine in the blister pack isn't exposed to moisture and air. With the packaging tubes it started of with a aluminium slug that was a size of a coin and was stretched into a tube. Its important for a designer to watch these videos to better understand the process of different types of packaging and pick out which one better suits what they need to achieve.
