1.7.1 Creative packaging and labelling t echniques Every product that is available in the market has its own distinct packaging and labelling. Packaging and labelling are important because they add to the marketability of the product. In order to succeed in the market, your product must be competitive. Most companies invest time, effort, and resources on their product’s packaging and labelling, to ensure that they are designed appropriately and that they are attractive and distinct. Packaging and labelling are usually considered a part of the overall “marketing strategy” to further promote the product. The three most important functions of packaging are: Contain and protect the product Promote the product Facilitate the storage, use, and convenience of product.
Labelling, on the other hand, serve the dual purpose: Providing the necessary information about the product such as its contents, features, instructions as to its usage, and manufacturing information Promoting the product with the use of branding, and attractive, colourful marks.
1.7.2 Technology –assisted and other means of product marketing The following are the appropriate marketing strategies that can be applied in selling enhanced or decorated finished products. 1. Print Media. Finished products can be marketed in print advertisements such as newsmakers, magazines, brochures, and flyers. 2. Product display. Finished products can be displayed and sold in exhibits, markets and bazaars. 3. Internet marketing. This is promoting the finished products through the internet, e-mail, and social networking sites. Consumers nowadays spend most of their time surfing the Internet. Given the situation, entrepreneurs specifically use various social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram and other websites (e.g. OLXPhilippines, Ayos ditto, Sulit) or applications (e,g. Viber, Facebook Messenger) to reach their consumers. With the help of these websites and applications, entrepreneurs are able to post pictures of their products for free by making a personal account. Transactions between the buyer and seller may be done using chat, call, or text.

They also allow you to move more freely with the gadget instead of being confined near the main power source. Here’s how to make one: Extension Cord Materials: Electrical wire ( depending on your desired length) Outlet Plug Hand tools ( screwdriver, pliers, and utility knife or cutter) Procedure: 1. Take one end of your electrical wire and slice through the outer covering to reveal thinner wires. Be careful when peeling off the covering so you do not damage the individual wires inside( separate the wire to create two different wires that will be connected to the plug). Do the same on the other end of the wire. 2. Get the main plug. Using the screw driver , take off the screw to loosen each of the terminals. 3. Put the wire into the two terminals and tighten it with the screw. Do not forget to cover the plug. 4. Get the outlet. Loosen the screw to open it. Get the wire separated in two and connected to the terminals. 5. Close the outlet and screw it tightly.

Cut out the worn out part and scrape the outer covering of both ends by about half an inch. 3. Connect the two lines by twisting them together. 4. Cover the twisted wires with electrical tape.
Worn out plug 1. Take off the plug out of the cord or cut the wire. Separate the cord and scrape the insulation or covering by about an inch. 2. Open the new plug. 3. Twist the wire in a clockwise direction and secure it with a screw. Replace the insulating disk. Repairing Lamp Shade Now that you know the basics in replacing defective wires and plugs, you can learn how to repair a lamp shade. You might have an old lamp shade that you do not want to throw away. You can give i t a new life. There are two options that we can choose from. One is to replace the defective parts or purchase the universal lamp kit from a local home improvement store.
Safety Tips 1. Make sure there is no power in the light fixture that you are working on. 2. Use wooden or fiber glass ladders. Aluminum and metal ladders might conduct electricity. 3. Use tools with insulated handles. 4. Use the proper wattage for your lamp or light fixture. A bulb with very high wattage may overheat. 5. Don’t touch metal pipes while you are doing electrical repairs. 6. Wear rubber-soled shoes or stand on a dry rubber mat or wooden boards if the floor is wet. Repairing furniture and furnishings Here are other basic furniture repair that can be undertaken at home and in school:
How to loosen sticking drawers or cabinets 1. Loosen with light cleaning and lubrication. 2. Use ordinary soap on the sides, slides, and bottom side rails for wood. 3. For the kitchen and bathroom, where there is moisture, a soap solution can be used but for a short period of time only. 4. Rubbing a candle on the railing can also loosen the drawer or cabinet. 5. For metals, applying WD-40 usually works. Put some newspapers first on the floor before spraying the solution. Removing stains from wood furniture The most common type of stain is a white ring on resulting from a wet glass bottom placed on top of the table. Rubbing it with a soft rag moistened lightly with mineral spirits often does the trick. Do this i n a well-ventilated area. If the rubbed area turns dull, apply a new coat of furniture wax. Repairing wooden legs of chairs 1. Check the chair for loose nails or screws. 2. Replace the damaged nail or screw using a hammer or screw driver. 3. Check if the legs are of equal length. Changing the fabric of a seat cushion 1. Check the seat cushion if the fabric was stapled. 2. Remove the staples using a hammer or screw driver to loosen them. 3.

Improvement on Repairs Undertaken Repairs undertaken can still be improved by applying additional design or finishes. Furniture Finishes The word finish in woodworking usually describes a final surface treatment that necessarily protects the wood and enhances its appearance. The following are the functions of finishing. 1. Protection. The surface of the furniture is protected against destructions such as warping, cracking, shrinkage, and swelling. 2. Decoration. The transparent finish brings out the natural beauty of the product, emphasizing the grain texture and its brilliant color. 3. Sanitation. A well-finished product can easily be cleaned. 4. Saleability. Product’s saleability depends on the pleasing functional design and attractive appearance. Types of Finishes 1. Oil finishes . This type of finishes is easy to apply. Examples of oil finishes are linseed oil and tung oi l. They do not build up to a thick coat like varnish. Thus, it provides less protection to the finished product. 2. Varnish. It is the most commonly available finishing material in the market. 3. Shellac. It is not as durable as varnish. 4. Lacquer. Lacquer is used most often in furniture industries because of its fast-drying properties. 5. Water-based finishes. These are basically latex paint without a pigment. Application of Finishes 1. Brush method. Applied with brush rather than with rags. 2. Spray method. Uses spray gun in painting. 3. Dip coating. Good for dipping wooden chair’s legs. 4. Roller coating. This is suited for applying undercoats.

LESSON 9 PRINCIPLES OF “ 5 S” Lesson Objective: Discuss the principles of “five S”. LET’S BE INFORMED Waste management needs every person’s serious attention and active participation. Government and non government agencies around the world have been joining hands to institute programs to address the global problem on waste, and its worsening effect to the environment. Individuals living within the community should c ontribute their share in waste management efforts. What can you do as an individual? A method or system of organizing things in the workplace, known as 5S among the Japanese, can also be applied to waste management. 5S means Seiri, Seiton, Seisou, Seiketsou, and Shitsuke. When translated to English it also means sort, straighten, shine, standardize, and sustain. The objective of 5S is to organize a space, sort, and store items efficiently and effectively so that things are easy to find when they are needed. The Principles of 5S can be applied at home, the classroom, as well as in the workplace. The following are the ways by which the principles of 5S are applied. Sorting (Seiri) – This involves distinguishing things or items in the work area and eliminating the unnecessary items. Straightening or set in order (Seiton) – This concerns the use of efficient and effective storage methods to arrange items in the work area. This may be done once the sorting is achieved. Shine or systematic cleaning (Seiso) - Once the clutter has been arranged and organized, clean the area. Clean every now and then to maintain order in the work area. Standardizing ( Seiketsu)- Once t he first three steps are completed, you may now standardize the method or procedure used. You may create visual cues such as signs, checklists that you need for making sure to successfully implement the cleaning of the work area. Sustaining (Shitsuke) -Make sure that you maintain regular sorting, straightening, and cleaning.
Recyclable Products or Waste Materials Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment. Many things thrown away can be recycled and turned into new products. Here are some materials that can be recycled. 1. Wood There are many products that can be produced from recycled wood like plant box, chair, garden accessories, wooden flooring, and garden decks. 2. Metal Aside from wood , metals are highly saleable in junk shops. Companies buy used cans to be recycled into metal packaging like containers for canned goods, drinks, and other materials. Metals are also used as cooking utensils and home accessories or furniture. 3. Paper Examples of projects that are made from recycled paper are papier-mache, paper flowers, gift wrapper, paper bag or purse, journals or memo pad, jewelry box, paper beads, photo frame and paper basket. 4. Plastic There are many ways of reusing or recycling plastics. It can be made into water and plant containers, desk organizers, garden lamps, etc. This is the easiest waste material to recycle. 5. Glass There are many projects that can be produced out of used glass containers and bottles. Examples of these are glass bottle sand art, vases, organizers, container for condiments for the interior and exterior part of the house. LET’S ANSWER 1. How can we contribute to proper waste management? 2. What are the principles of “five S” that can be applied in waste management? 3. Where can we apply these 5S? 4.

LESSON 10 RECYCLING WASTE MATERIALS INTO FUNCTIONAL ITEMS Learning Competencies 4.3 Explains the process and importance of recycling CODE TLE6IA-0j-13 4.4 Recycles the identified products/waste material into functional item CODE
TLE6IA-0j-14
Lesson Objectives: Explain the process and the importance of recycling Recycle the identified products/waste material into functional items (binding of used paper into notebook or memo pad; bottled plastic into lampshades, flowers, and plants) LET’S BE IN FORMED It is easy to throw away something and feel glad that you got rid of it and will never see again. But sad to say, it does not end here. The things you throw away go somewhere, usually to dumpsites or landfills. Some may end up in empty lots, rivers, and the sea.
It is also a reality that you are now living in a society where everything is almost disposable. You tend to buy new things instead of getting old ones repaired. It has become more convenient to throw away items. You start to realize that it has become a problem not only for you today but for future generations. One of the best ways to manage trash is to recycle them. Recycling is the co nversion of old and used materials into new products. The key component to proper waste management is recycling.
Process of Recycling Materials that can be recycled are wood, glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Electronic waste is considered special waste like ink cartridges, cell phones, batteries, computers, and non-functioning appliances. Together with plastic products, these are nonbiodegradable wastes since they do not disintegrate or rot. Biodegradable waste such as food and garden waste can be recycled through composting. Collection of waste materials can be done in two ways: 1. Bring waste materials to collection centers like junk shops or the barangay waste management center where there are separate containers for different types of trash. 2. Pick up from residences where every barangay has a schedule of garden collection. Once materials are collected and segregated from junk shops or in your barangay center, these materials will be sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials such as handicraft projects or to be used as raw materials for manufacturing. Everything that comes from nature can be returned to nature. Importance of Recycling Recycling brings about so many benefits like: Employment through livelihood products Helping reduce pollution and the need for landfills Helping save energy by reducing the use of fuel in manufacturing products Helping families save money by reducing expenses for buying new products Helping the economy through investments in local recycling programs. Helping conserve and sustain the use of natural resources for future generations. Bringing out the innovative skills of individuals, and Promoting community spirit through unity and cooperation
