Depending on the method, the crafter may use rustproof pins, blocking wires, blocking combs, wool wash, a wash basing or sink, a spray bottle, a steamer, or a steam iron. [4] [2] A stable flat surface, measuring tape, and towels are standard and some prefer to also use blocking mats or a blocking board. [4]
The typical machine is loaded with a continuous flat roll of plastic film, which has usually had labeling and artwork applied. Plastic is the most commonly used packaging material in the food industry, but the technology can be used to form continuous metallized foil/film, paper, and fabric product containers by changing the edge sealing/seaming methods.
The carding machine consists mainly of one big roller with smaller ones surrounding it. All of the rollers are covered in small teeth, and as the cotton is moved forwards, the teeth get finer (i.e. closer together). The cotton leaves the carding machine in the form of a sliver: a large rope of fibres. [12]
A form-fill-seal process means that the blister pack is created from rolls of flat sheet or film, filled with the pharmaceutical product and closed (sealed) on the same equipment. Such equipment is called a blisterline. There are two types of blister machine' design: rotary and flat-plate, depending on the mechanism for sealing the lidding foil.
Sealing can be done with either a handheld unit or on a conveyor system. A more recent development (which better suits a small number of applications) allows for induction sealing to be used to apply a foil seal to a container without the need for a closure. In this case, foil is supplied pre-cut or in a reel.

Fabric. Fabric treatments are processes that make fabric softer, or water resistant, or enhance dye penetration after they are woven. [1] Fabric treatments get applied when the textile itself cannot add other properties. [2] Treatments include, scrim, foam lamination, fabric protector or stain repellent, anti microbial and flame retardant. [2]
