Investigating various packaging
arrangements
Unit 8.1
We can use diagrams and models to investigate the most efficient ways to
package products. We can use our knowledge of circles, squares,
rectangles, triangles to make a model.

Unit 8.1
1. Mapitsi needs to arrange cans on a refrigerated
shelf in a supermarket. The cans have a diameter
of 52 mm.
• The shelves have the dimensions 0,5 m × 0,4 m.
• Cans are packed in one layer only.
What is the best possible arrangement of cans to
make the most efficient use of space?

Unit 8.1
Scale 1 : 10 0,5 m 0,5 m
0,4 m 0,4 m
1 2
• Can diameter: 52 mm = 5,2 cm
• Shelves: 0,5 m = 50 cm and 0,4 m = 40 cm
• 50 ÷ 5,2 = 9,61 and 40 ÷ 5,2 = 7,69
• Two possible arrangements:
The first has 9 in a row × 7 in a column
= 63 cans
The second has 4 rows of 9 and
• 4 rows of 8 = (4 × 9) + (8 × 4) = 68 cans
• The second arrangement allows Mapitsi to pack
more cans on the shelf.

Unit 8.2
Useful tips
• Make cut-outs of objects to fit
the scale of the floor plan
exactly.
• Arrange them in the space and
move them until you find the
best arrangement.
• Always consider the function of
the furniture or objects.

furniture
Unit 8.2
at a restaurant
1 Decide on the size of your restaurant and kitchen, restrooms,
server stations and bar.
2 Decide on the numbers of customers you expect to have in the
restaurant at any one time.
3 Use a scale of 1 : 50 to sketch the floor plan, including doors,
windows and emergency exits.
4 Select table sizes for small and large groups of people.
5 Make cut outs of the furniture to the same scale as the floor plan.

Unit 8.3
Practical investigation / assignment
Task 1 :
Design your own restaurant. Work in two dimensions, to investigate how
to arrange furniture in your designed room.
1. Use A3 paper to sketch some ideas for a floor plan of the restaurant.
Your ideas should show the shape of the floor, the shapes and positions
of all the tables, the positions of the kitchen and toilets.

2. Now use another A3 paper and sketch ideas showing what the front of
the restaurant might look like, i.e. a front view or elevation.
These sketches need to show the shape of the roof, the height of the
building, the position and size of the front doors and windows.

Task 1 :
• Your restaurant must be able to seat and serve at least 100 people at
any one time.
• There should be enough doors and space for customers (including
disabled people) to come and go easily.
• The servers need to be able to move easily between the tables and the
kitchen.
• Windows and doors help the building to be well-lit and to have fresh
air.
