Issues affect carton box template size design

When we get out the products from the carton packaging, we rarely pay attention to the packaging and throw it away. However, if the carton box template size isn't well designed, the product we got might be broken when we open the packaging. The carton box template size design is an important process before the production. It mainly has 4 issues which will affect the carton box template size design.
1. The dimension of the carton box. Here, in fact, reflect the stability of the surface of the pan and use of products that make it easier.
2. The dimension of this container space. If the box template size model can not be made to have a space container, the container is likely to lose the space and cost increases.
3.  The dimensions of the shelves. Here, in order to avoid treatment in special packaging that are not displayed on the shelves.


4. Ergonomic concern When stacking, strapping, and put your clothes by type, color, size, in order to collect on the shelves, boxes must be driven by the people. If the size of the model maps are poorly designed, can allow employees to act very uncomfortable. For example, windows with cardboard factory length 100 cm, width 80 cm, height 60 cm, weight 60 kg, in principle, people do not even think about switching, distribution centers also gave out the window, just a way to take off my clothes in a small window, and then send shelves, the increase in labor costs.

In China, there are no special rules on the carton box template size design, and the box size is mainly determined by the designer, it is mainly on two factors: on the one hand, it is large enough to cover the content, the other providing sufficient strength. Except package stressors model size and shape of the box, there are many other factors, the carton box template containing only the constraints and then determine the size and shape of the board.

The 3 carton box creasing issues

In the carton box production process, the creasing part is very important, it is not only affect the carton box quality also affect the carton box production cost. There are 3 commonly creasing issues listed below:

1. Irregular creasing line
The creasing line with the ridge began the process after the fingerprint folding substrates favorable pressure. The main reason that causes the irregular line card slots folding creases are too large, if the thickness of the panel began with the grooves of the paper, and custom rounded a corner .. Knife consecutive solid insufficient sealing knife, steel pipe is very narrow, and so Irregular folding carton approach exception to replace steel wire line buffer paper slit width settings as appropriate, increased thickness of the steel wire cutting Paper buffer opening angle model in the form as a strong set of hand knives feel appropriate to apply the knife seal.


2. Uneven pressure
We know that the creasing line is caused by the window wrinkles, creases or folds extrusion. In the production of the carton box, at the end of the line is under the control strain. The principle of cardboard into the two slots solid surface (male and female) for the printing cylinder is damaged, the internal structure of paper fibers, thereby forming a sheet of paper in the hierarchy of concave and convex lines of external links. Split the packet add lines 90 or 180 degrees is connected, a layer of paper sizing internal folding (grip) completely.
There are two cases, causing uneven pressure on the box folding process: the pressure a little bit irregular uneven.If can knife, irregular lines, this time to set a balanced array so that the platform also powers uniform.It attack fiber paper, the paper is the theme cut line vertical and horizontal better effect. Another serious unevenness.If back and forth to the four corners of the platform phenomenon heavy irregular pressure should be monitored when they wear like a pendulum must be strong, to replace worn-out, otherwise you have to adjust the pressure of the four thickness of constant pressure.
3. Burst
Breakage refers to the longitudinal cutting cardboard, folding, bending occurs in the first and often, especially in dry weather. Wrinkles form when (stamp) is inserted into the slot, there are three forces. The pressure on the surface tension of the cardboard train and the three forces in addition to the permanent deformation Council also reduce the adhesion between the layers of fiber. Break during the folding of the paper surface, said inner layer of stress is responsible subjected to pressure, when the pressure exceeds the adhesion between the fibers of the paper, cardboard, paper fiber becomes internal bend.The It is soft and gentle pressure can be too, if more power than cardboard box is divided into lines. This occurs in many situations, such as clarification of paper, card holder, excessive shock pressure, etc.
In general, the quality of the carton box template requires not only the field of technical issues, such as pressure, strength and level of aesthetically beautiful vision constantly exceed qualified, technique requires more points with products of high quality proposals.

The meaning of packaging design creativity


The packaging designer should design the product packaging from the perspective of marketing, looking for a sleek and distinctive packaging and hype to identify changes product. Specify the creativity of the packaging design is only one choice also pointed out that the main image is reasonable, the product is attractive.
The packaging design as a form of design, most of which are known in the form of packaging. Using these principles, aesthetic form, color, and other factors change, represented the shape of the packaging function and appearance of the packaging visual form. The packing of the container must be able to protect should be the product can be a great look with an affordable solution.
Followed by structural packaging design, packaging design begins with the basic functions of packaging, recycling and convenience of real production conditions, particularly from scientific principles, the design of the exterior and within the eye of the neck is based. Award-winning design, the main function of the effective protection of property, and secondly, you should consider running, Show, calving ease and try. Given the reuse of content and display functions
Finally, the packaging design as a template, text, color, and other forms of support, emphasizing the characteristics of the product and the image tends to be a modern and innovative design, vivid colors and crisp text and decorative landscaping products to promote the sale of the product. The packaging design is a science that combines art and technology practice, a discipline techniques of art and crafts and consider marketing, fuel, psychology consumer, etc.
If the product has a good sale, it lies on a great packaging design, the designer should combine product together with the structure design and the graphic design with fully creativity. Only in this case, the role of package design rocks.

What's integrity packaging design?

A successful packaging design often includes three effects: convincing people over long distances, lovely people, if you close it and impress people for a long time. At the same time, the successful packaging design has five main points:
① 
trademarking: short and clear images that are to be achieved;

② 
Features: Functions of raw materials and resources, and you have to pay attention to open the package, also featured graphics and text easily.

③ Patterns: appearance should be smart, wonderful, very successful and rich artistic metaphors;
④  Readability: the text on the label should be clear, simple and straightforward, with clear descriptions of the products;
⑤ 
Impression: good packaging makes the products on the shelf has a strong appeal for the people;

The integrity package design with these five key points, consumers do not want put it down. Thus, in the process of integrity packaging design initially focus on the development of various elements of the system as a whole relationship.


The integrity packaging design is the development of the modules, composition, colors and fonts. It was decided to form a package structure, composition reflects the image of packaging style that represent the colors pack mental point of view, the letter is a direct reflection of the nature of the contents of the package. Thus, the integrity packaging design with colors and other characters are intended to provide further so as to serve as an idealized composition modeling experience, viewing the package color text of the scientific and practical, low cost and competitive pressures expressive four requirements.

The rules of carton box template design

For the carton box template design, on the bottom of the box is necessary for enough strength, but also to simplify things. At the bottom of the window containing essentially putting the back cover, belt guard, bottom lock, lock the car down the walls of the wall of the cover glass adhesive back, and so on.

The box contains a powerful, white cardboard, paperboard, coated kraft paper, with two of the power supply, paper and cardboard, glass, and other varieties. Less than 0.3 mm cardboard thickness and rigidity, it meets resistance, but more than 1.1 mm in the overall process of folding carton equipment is difficult to obtain a satisfactory mark.


The carton box can be sent as a storage and stacking of flat cardboard on both sides of the window long enough fiber for the necessary properties and flexible enough not bending folds window cracks along the fold line.
The thickness of the corresponding table of the carton box template design depending on the size and weight of the contents of the basic structure of the process of the formation of pasteboard is not divided into different categories of pipe, tube-sheet no, tube plate. In addition, the package also local structures in the form of the cover, in which the bottom of the boxes, cardboard boxes, self-locking lock angle, walls, windows, screens, etc.. Cardboard often resolved in accordance with the characteristic structural features of the basic structure can also be sub-structures, such as in the lower plate of the castle, the structure is a tube, but the structure is the structure of the characteristic features of automatic background of his name. Another example is the board has two distinct structures, the local structure of the side walls of the box can be folded and the other is a basic structure including the shell.

The 4 features of the packaging design

There are 4 features of the packaging design:

1. Protects the product prevents the invasion of sun, wind, rain, dust, pollution, environmental factors, evaporation, loss, melting, pollution, collisions, extrusion, losses, etc.;

2. This means that to understand the value of the property and its value in use and increase the value of the goods;

3. For storage purpose, such as loading and unloading equipment, pallets, shipping, receiving, transportation and sale;

4 This product landscape to attract customers, and the development of sales;

Now the carton packaging design is the same with clothing and modern design draws attention to measuring the aesthetics and creativity. Developer must help all sorts of products in sufficient efforts on the product packaging. The packaging designer specialized product design captured the attention of consumers, stimulate their desire to buy. Packaging design services for consumers in terms of consumer preferences is the main starting point for the design of packaging. Therefore, changes in the consumption pattern packaging design has a significant impact.

Before we will buy the product firstly we need to see the packaging. This shows that the packaging design is good or bad which plays an important role to customers make their decision. Since ancient times, primitive society, the Agrarian Age, science and high technology in modern society, the packaging and the emergence of human evolution, the development of production and the exchange of scientific and technological progress and sustainable development and is still the second milestone occurred before.

Culture in product packaging design




With psychological feeling of consumer packaging design is inextricably linked with the feeling function applicable conditions, the sense of quality, cheap feeling, the feeling of novelty, soft grip and other benefits of aesthetic ... All this shows that the product packaging design without the aesthetic and cultural skills, it is difficult to establish the aesthetic value in the package.

Packaging means, the composition can not be achieved without the use of contrast agents, reports, is symmetrical, rhythm, space coordinates, and so on, by modeling the structure of the the stable and easily symmetry and inseparable "balance, contrast and synthesis harmony, proportion and scale, rhythm and intonation and analog, change and unity of aesthetic treatment in related fields.Culture has a direct influence on the design of the product packaging, is the visible manifestation of the influence of cultural heritage a major role in product packaging design in the following points.

Firstly, product packaging design, support for the aesthetic culture. Aesthetic culture is the most important experience spiritual and emotional, to enjoy the culture, social and emotional. In general, the aesthetic culture of the reality of the culture, art and culture as the core of a wider spiritual and cultural tradition. With the continuous development of society as a whole civilization, the aesthetic vision of humanity and the field of aesthetic activity to continue to grow and develop.

Second, the role of technology to support culture in packaging design. Now, the technology was based cropping system on the host computer technology, which plays an important role in supporting the product, R & D and production developed. For example, the shape, the design, layout and design of packaging products in developed countries has created the technology of the computer for a long time. Can be done with computers, calculating, comparing, and change in the process of packaging design with a computer, packaging designers can scare without health community long physical and mental, that which could significantly reduce the development cycle, the precision of design results. and optimized the design and development of packaging design modern technological culture.

Carton box molding process

In the design of the carton box, you must first meet the general requirements, open means that the main area of ​​the board should satisfy most consumers usual. Second, we must consider the relationship between the carton box structure design and graphic design, it means that the structure of the design according to the characteristics of the packed product, environmental factors and the needs of users, it is reasonable is a design, infiltration, adhesive strips, dust flaps and other components. This is necessary for the general design principles meet and coordinate with the shape and design requirements. The shape and decoration must be an aesthetic point of view, focusing on the properties of a box. In addition, the size and strength of the structure is also important in the design of a box not only affects the appearance and quality of the cardboard box, and the relative costs of production and circulation.
According to the method of forming a carton can be divided into a cardboard box and glued cardboard. Paperboard is generally made of cardboard (thickness of 0.3 ~ 1.1 mm) according to the cutting and creasing, folding, folding flat for transportation and storage of goods, to the load. The advantages of low cost of production and sale of carton, suitable for medium to high volume, flexible structural changes, but his strength is low. Carton with plywood, it can be folded into a flat plate, and are transported and stored in the solid body. With a good anti-Pearce and combat effectiveness, rigid box, in the general area, but the intensity of the work of production workers, are products, at low speed, and the cost is high and is suitable for jewelry.
In the carton box molding process the blank of cardboard and printing process primarily affects the quality of the carton. If the cut is bad, it will affect the flow in one carton, and also lead to lose if the print quality is bad, it will affect the beauty of a cardboard box and its function. Therefore, you should pay attention to the precision cutting and printing of a paper box. In the manufacture of laminated cardboard, gluing process affects the quality of the box itself, gluing and decorating the corners requires a sticky solid, and there are no bubbles, flat and smooth. Position of the logo and the model is not correct. Now, the bonding process can by gluing together many packages are made.


The carton box is not just a set of products has high artistic, so that the principles of the carton box design should be scientific, reliable, attractive, durable principles correspond. Designers should reflect the scientific development of the internal and external structure of a box, depending on the characteristics of the packaging industry, the environment and the needs of users and other factors, it is necessary to the, ease workload of security features to use and display a box, and the identity of the general effect, given the structural modeling and design.

Color box packaging design rules

In various forms of packaging, color box packaging is widely used in tobacco, food, medicine and other related fields to people's lives, and the demand continues to grow. With the rapid development of modern industry and the continuous improvement of living conditions, the demand for color box packaging continues to grow, and the color quality of the packing box as shown in higher demands. To avoid waste, flexible and automatic gluing, folding automatically opened in the formation of high-speed packaging machine, filling and sealing process requires not only the construction of another rational structure, but also to ensure that sufficient precision punching and folding and gluing. It has some of the rules in the color box packaging design:
1.
According to the rational design of the lower lid color packaging box valves, dampers and other components of dust. E 'must respect the principles of universal design packaging color box, though. Decor view style and design coordination, concentration and aesthetic structure of the display function package.
2.
Make a great packaging design, building structures, not only to protect registration and ownership landscape, selling products to promote, but should also be easy to carry, use and impact is easy to transport.
3.
It must take into account the structural design of a package of color box to be scientifically and to take reasonable, but should also take into account the shape and design of pleasing.
 4 The size and strength of embroidery color box packaging is also an important factor not only affects the appearance of the quality of products, but also the cost of production and the associated distribution.
5 Pack the product is divided into two categories of transport packaging and consumer packaging. Everything must be done directly for consumer use and end. In addition to performance, the information contained in the party, but also has a strong artistic, its shape and structure design to meet the needs of science, aesthetics and marketability.





Currently, the definition of color box packaging, especially in the developed countries is very clear, including food, wine, medicine, family / cosmetics, tobacco products, electronic products and so on, color carton, plastic, cardboard and corrugated cardboard thin and subtle colors. It has a lightweight, portable, wide range of raw materials, environmental protection, and the fine print.

Pharmaceutical carton packaging


Carton is the main form of Pharmaceutical packaging, with the expansion of OTC (OTC) pharmaceutical companies have increased the demand and needs of the Board. So the modern pharmaceutical carton packaging should meet the following requirements:


Packaging Design

Non-prescription drugs. As a product, its packaging to reflect the quality of the products and, indirectly, the safety of products and public health, pharmaceutical companies have certain requirements for the packaging design of OTC Firstly, individual design software are not only easy to promote the image of the drug and the brand, but also contributes to the study of consumer perception. Second, the selection of high-quality paper, the quality of products.


Automatic transmission for business needs

Improve the performance of the machine continues to meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies as well as to reduce costs.

ID bar codes

With different design pharma pharmaceutical packaging is very similar in the repackaging of pharmaceutical products can be confusing if an error occurs, the consequences can be catastrophic. The solution is to add the identification code of the bar in the drug box, scanner recognize barcodes folding box installed so that we can effectively avoid confusion. In addition, the technology also has the barcode is the role of anti-counterfeiting and anti-R & D center to meet the logistics of automatic identification and rapid identification.


Anti-counterfeiting technology

WHO presented the Declaration of Geneva that more than 10% of global sales of medicines are counterfeit. Nonprescription drugs, consumers can buy a special article where counterfeit products, it will affect the health of consumers, in severe cases, it will be life-threatening if pharmaceutical companies require a high level of anti-counterfeiting packaging have.

The standard of the carton packaging quality


As modern carton packaging cares more about the sales function, the protection performance has long been insufficient to meet the needs of companies adapted. The company will continue to work on the package, which is also on the board of sensory standard be raised also contributed. The standards can be summarized as follows:

1. Cardboard and paper glued phenomenon of internal tissues to absorb water.

2. In accordance with the model of the press, the text box should be clearly and correctly positioned exactly the same depth, not to be a problem of ink without printing error, the bar code must be identified.

3. should not overlap angle and travel cover must not exceed 5 mm, after the formation of the corner holes pile should be no more than 5 mm, width 35 mm round base band 50 mm.

4. The line width board shall not exceed 12 mm, bending lines placed in the center needs, it should not affect the other interrupts, double row, row is a touch.

5. Do not crush, incidence angle, barrel distortion 2 minutes in the package of the test pressure.

6. adhesive coating of cornstarch should be equally full, without overflow. Adhesive should be clean, solid, two terminals aligned down the displacement of 2 mm.

7. 5 mm, 7 mm bore with an internal diameter of 18 mm and 20 mm spacing to two 102 mm-104 mm of cardboard with finger holes, two holes in the handle to be the center of the entire width of the holes.

8 box with air holes, the hole diameter is 15 mm, the hole is not allowed, printing designs and fonts.

9. Surface of the body of the box is not damaged, and the bundle of spots, rust, cracks and other defects in materials makes seams paper, flute available through the plastic, folding, there is a lack of materials, colors and other defects shall comply with the material is the basic rule of the board.

4 processes of the carton box production

1. Carton box design
There is a great influence on the carton box structure design, which can be achieved with an automatic packaging machine. In many cases this is due to the size of some parts of the result in undue boxed product can not be implemented in automatic packaging machines, or the rate of loss would be huge. Well, there are a lot of software for the design of cardboard packaging to develop a structural model, for example, Packmage CAD software that takes full account of cardboard and locked in carton box structure design could help to improve the design work.
2. Carton box step and repeat
With respect to the orientation of the fibers in the paper, you can see the difference in normal conditions. During the printing process, the external force causes the paper warp, the cancellation of the external forces, the paper in its original state can be called tensile strength, related to the provision of paper fiber. Thus, during the test phase and under the authority of the box again, if possible, to maintain the parallel opening of cardboard fiber orientation in the direction of cardboard to ensure the opening of the window is not too large, and, by the tension of the paper fibers so that the shell after the formation of irregular irregularly during the molding process, so that packaging machine just a window to open the smooth production.
3. Carton box cutting and creasing
In the process of cutting a scoring matrix attachment quality knife key to quality of care is guaranteed, but also the condition that the arm. Direction of the line of folding carton has a certain influence on the width of the fold to have a width of fold line optimal, may be the direction of the bend lines on the printing surface is ignored.
The cardboard box can be deformed to the process of the packing line, the production seems smooth cardboard protection is very important. Habit was with boxes stacked to save the box. In general, try not to block the box at the bottom, which could break box folding.


4. Temperature and humidity affects on carton box
Varying conditions of temperature and humidity, window shapes change. New Product paper in a short time, the water content is too high, it is easy to bend and deform. Thus, the new document within a month or more to be saved, so that the moisture content of the paper can be accepted humidity.

pharmaceutical carton packaging design


There are generally 6 principles in the pharmaceutical carton packaging design:

1. Branding

Pharmaceutical companies are required to collect the search results in order to extract the main points of the distribution of pharmaceutical products, in combination with the communication strategy, marketing, point of sale as the most important factor in the packaging design to achieve the goal of attracting consumers to buy.

2. Form of packaging

In the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical companies should pay more attention to the shape of cartoon innovation to modify their products for many pharmaceutical dosage form similar izdeliya.Polzovateli windows, the size, structure, pharmaceutical boxes, after the printing process, the display effects to improve on the tray.


3. Text

Text messaging is one of the most important factors in the design of pharmaceutical cartons. Reasonable accommodation of text can ensure that patients with automatic driving, the message must be clear about the primary and secondary patients have good intentions.



4.Anti-counterfeiting technology


Counterfeit drugs are not only a significant impact on patients' health or life, but it also affects the reputation of pharmaceutical companies. With the proliferation of pharmaceutical sales channels, improving the safety of pharmaceutical products is inevitable. Shaped box packaging of pharmaceutical products, medicines bring the fight against counterfeiting comfort.

5. The unit of the identity


Pharmaceutical companies should be on the coherence and consistency of cardboard can focus Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceuticals awareness of the identity can be distinguished. For. On the image of the company, pharmaceutical companies typically focus on corporate branding package drawing board even more impressive, attractive, so that consumers can recognize and feel the difference


6. Eco-friendly

With the growing concern for the global environment, the green field of medicine revolution to a new level has been pushed, a harmless, environmentally friendly, renewable and recyclable improve sustainable packaging effectively branding pharmaceutical companies with a focus on social responsibility is a key trend pharmaceutical cartons.

The basic features in gift packaging design



In the process of gift packaging design, graphic design and resources to new economic stimulus plan and the image quickly penetrate the subconscious, subconsciously invite people to carefully check the desire landmarks, comparisons provide decision making and purchase process. Gift box design is very important. Learn how the gift packaging design and be sure to follow these five characteristics:

1. Attractive

The main purpose of a gift package design to make a beautiful gift box. The key to a successful graphic design is where the packaging could catch the consumers' eye bows or not. In general, the term is an external authorities access important information. This practice has shown that 70% of external information obtained in the eyes of the people, the human eye is capable of receiving text messages and instant access to information from the graph. Feel useless stimulation (data) to the brain, perception, concentration stimuli graphics to create a visual representation of features.


2. Intuitive

The text is displayed in the gift box is a form of dissemination of information, language, symbols, and if customers do not understand the laws of this kind, you know what it means. May submit, such as English, the design restrictions of gift-box land, some people are just a bunch of text inside, knowing nothing, does not cause sensation. Use tables and graphs to express awareness of different areas. All information at a glance Simple and clean graphic language that facilitates visual communication is an intuitive, graphical, like playing in the real world, so that the confidence of the population to transmit the language clearer information.

3.Consistency

The purpose of the gifts of the packaging design, especially for the protection and promotion of products. Charting package and graphics in general, if it. The effects of all aspects of the package, for example, the entire packet to be considered necessary to ensure the continuity of the goods must display tube and the appearance of the Windows taskbar graphics are very different, so that you can view a range of packaging graphic design, in particular the type and dimensions of the package structure, a single design anything. With integrity, but also the effect of visual features

4.Understanding

Gift card Gift exhibits a distinct change in the design of the carton game, so that consumers can see exactly what to do to understand the importance of the program without misunderstandings of this phenomenon.

5. Fun expression

The gift packaging conveys accurate information, but often cold and rigid packaging, result in the art of transmitting information to the expression of pleasure people get information in a very relaxed and happy. Highly subjective mind to edit the form designer to create the perfect beauty of form and taste, taste a graphical representation of their purchasing power of consumers.

Corrugated box quality control


Rational design corrugated cardboard

As the details of the corrugated box design refers to the cost of product packaging, and data protection is a function of the product into three categories depending on the size of a large box consolidated less than 2000 mm less than 2000 mm can be divided, but more than 1000 mm of the mean field are less than 1000 mm in a small box. If the structure of corrugated board is too large, it is not only caused by the waste during transport or processing of the product can result in property damage. On the contrary, if the field is too small, then the product is not intended, and do not overtighten to break the box is slightly damaged, do not get the best protection. It also takes into account a lot of difficulties in the management of the finished product, when the specification is too large, the weight of the load will cause. Instead, the weight is too small, it is established, it will prove packaging and processing efficiency.

The relationship between the structure of corrugated cardboard and compressive strength

The most important feature of the corrugated cardboard is a good protection of goods during the entire compression force carton for the embodiment of the importance of protecting cardboard compressive strength is obvious. Analysis of the data showed that the compressive strength and the peripheral edge of the height and width of the length of a special relationship. On the perimeter more, more resistance to compression, the box size and the degree of resistance to compression of the conversion ratio. corrugated design affects the structural strength.

Specification Quality Management

Following the development of standards approved corrugated cardboard, it is expected to meet the standards of production to the needs of users, but also in daily production, there are deviations from the light a certain situation affect the normal use and protection. Caused heavy scrap cardboard, lot size at the same time, it is too small to store food or just collected only in the destruction of the windows, the design and production of cardboard. exhaustive consider some factors affecting the quality control, the thickness of corrugated box, bulimia, tongue lapping, moisture content, punching and bending line of climate change. These factors should be taken into account all the specific quality control has wavy.

The number of items rated resistance

Resistance corrugated direct impact on the product packaging and protective, the engine will affect the performance depends mainly on the basis of the base paper box capable quantitative composition flute features thick cardboard and humidity content.To force improvement wavy, you must first select the category of quality and quantum of paper basis, however, the rational design of the structure of a cardboard box. Third according to the manufacturer. wise, the waves ripple corrugated, thickness and number of layers, the fourth is reasonable to focus on the production of corrugated cardboard force generation is the use of waste from die-cast aluminum teeth during production. Fifth keep a clear fold lines.

Thus, the wave surface design and corrugated box quality control in all aspects, as we understand it, and understand the factors that affect the strength of the board. Reasonable control of the manufacturing process in accordance with the characteristics of the product packaging science, focusing on quality control of origin the entire production process, from designing rigorous inspection technology and management, to reduce not only effective or prevent various quality options theme, but it is better to talk about the effectiveness of production and processing of high-quality products to meet the needs of users.

The tray folding carton


The depth of the tray folding carton is relatively small, and on the underside of the box load large (in relation to the tubular carton). Once opened, the contents of the field to see to choose for the consumer and for sale. These boxes are mainly used for packaging of products such as shoes, clothes, food and gifts.
Unlike the tubular carton, the tray folding carton virtually no change of structure in the lower part of the window, the main structural changes in the position of the box body is reflected, its structure at the bottom, side walls, valves, plugs and other components .
The most common tray folding carton, a shoe box, the main types of structures, including the cover, roller cover, caps, locks, etc.. Box includes training assembly time, the castle window and bond angles in 3 ways.
The structural characteristics of the case, there is an axis of rotation in the forming process, the parts of the body of rotation by a certain angle with respect to the intersection of the two adjacent body panels, molding, the angle of rotation (β) is a key factor in the design of a cardboard box. The expiry date of folding (cover) adjacent to both sides of the formation of an angle α, wherein the intersection of the parts of the molded body and the formation of the angle with the lower edge,  β , γ1, γ2 and angle solution formula:

    
β = 360 ° - (α + Σγi)
In the formula, the Σγi axis of rotation in the formation of the sum of the angle  β are set.

Corrugated box structural design


Corrugated boxes are widely used as containers. Corrugated box is the execution of the sale of products sold, and sometimes to end use. The boxes on a certain level of product protection, take care of themselves, but often require internal components, such as routing, protect the force and strength of fragile items. Transport can largely for specific logistics. The factors relevant to the structural design of corrugated boxes with the bodily functions, processing and end use requirements.
The packaging designers with the requirements of the project, including start-up: price pressure, the machine capacity, technical specifications, material specifications, regulatory requirements, customer needs, etc. Options for the structural design and construction are considered different. Samples are often subjected to performance tests in ASTM or other standard test protocols, such as the International Association of Transportation Safety. Structural design goes hand in hand with graphic design. For models based on the use and marketing of discussion groups or quantitative methods to assess the acceptability. Test markets for large programs. Packmage CAD is an easy to use corrugated box structural design software, it contains the standard  FEFCO box templates usually used in the corrugated box structural design:

    
Telescope boxes
    
Envelopes
   Self-erecting boxes

    
The octagonal box
    
Slotted Containers
    
Trays
    
The interior forms
    

To manufacture corrugated boxes design to meet the needs of the delivered goods, there are several threats to the marine environment (shock, vibration, pressure, humidity, etc.), and the needs of retailers and consumers. Pleated window size can be internal (to fit a product) or external (or the use of coating machines), the measured dimensions. The boxes are generally specified and ordered internal dimensions.

The advantages of proper packaging

The commodities widespread in the market now has the phenomenon of excessive packaging, first of all it is  waste of resources, followed by the consumer may feel that the packaging too good to be inside the content of false and excessive packaging will only cause the cost of packaging materials, packaging costs, transportation costs. Proper packaging is the best choice for a reasonable price and protection of natural resources. Products without packaging or unreasonable result in greater loss of time and cost. To reduce improper packaging, you have to pay the proper packing of goods at a reasonable price.
With increasing competition in world trade in the "green line" to switch the main obstacle to the establishment abroad. However, in order to meet the requirements of international law and standards of packaging, packaging has made the concept of foreign consumer goods and consumer culture, meet new strategy of Chinese enterprises. The package has the right under national legislation to promote "minimization, reuse and recycling of packaging waste in biodegradable packaging" green package of strong support for the implementation of national strategies for sustainable development.


Proper packaging is not only for the protection of property effectively, and can provide customers with direct cost savings and improve efficiency. Proper packaging can reduce logistics costs and efficiency of logistics, especially in the following areas: (1) reduction of excessive packaging to reduce the hidden costs of packaging in logistics, (2) Make sure the most current to reduce the volume of transport and the weight of the load the correct size, (3) packaging containers to increase the efficiency of cargo handling and storage management costs, packaging, suitable product quality, reduce the loss of brand quality problems, and can effectively prevent the counterfeiting of goods, maintaining the brand and the goodwill of raw materials.
 

Proper packaging is a platform for information management. The bar code is a two-dimensional code on the packaging of goods, trade in information technology, network management tools. Packaging and labeling of products from the integration of RFID technology provides greater comfort for real-time control, the definition of inventory management and protection products. ① is packing in the final stages of production and logistics in the first stage is an important part of supply chain management. ② control packaging and effective control can only improve the efficiency of production and inventory control, and possibly even solve the problem of counterfeit goods by the administration. ③ In the development of packaging design environment integrated logistics to maximize the efficiency of logistics and utilities.

Take packaging as a marketing tool

In the traditional conception there's a 4P terminal in marketing: product, price, place and promotion are necessary and complement each other. However, the theory of marketing terminal is open in the fifth P - packaging, the most common approach has been proposed for enough attention.




A successful packaging design includes three main following characteristics, accuracy of indicator, image and personality differences. Goods without a brand or a brand is not good, it is, since neither a name nor too dull a person's name, is it hard to impress. A good quality, not just a symbol or a combination of graphics, but clearly reflects the value of goods, the connotation of the brand. Images packaging focus on specific local circumstances, the investment company, pricing strategies, the strategy of consumer segmentation for a common vision and are in the package again. Personality differences in the front and the difficulty of packaging materials. Excellent product packaging must comply with the basic properties of this class, but at the same time to be out of the ordinary, to distinguish it from competing products.
 
After extensive market research, marketing analysis experts suggested to the famous law of DuPont, 63% of consumer purchasing decisions based on the product packaging. To buy at the supermarket, for example, people attractive packaging, goods markets, are generally provided over 45% of the number initially.
Packing for a long period from a goods container, a distinct sense of the perfect shape and construction of cargo terminal reflects the nature of the optimization, brand culture, aspirations and the expression of several positions in marketing device. The packaging has to buy a strong influence on consumer behavior, companies must effectively utilize the role of the marketing kit, please fill out the form to promote products and brands. For small and medium businesses with limited marketing budgets, packaging box is convenient for the brand.


Compared to other methods of marketing, packaging, the unavoidable costs of production, regardless of whether marketing of the company should pay for the package, then according to their impact on consumer groups, packaging is the most effective marketing through advertising. For businesses small and medium enterprises, especially in fast moving consumer goods, packaging must pay more attention. The current package is not limited to the role of container products, but also assumes that funding from the shape of the structure, graphics and advertising, etc., all require professional standards of planning and design . Only in this way, the SMEs could take packaging as a powerful marketing tool to promote the growing business.

Ways for sustainable packaging

1. Minimize use of packaging materials
If possible, the use of packaging materials in a space which minimize not affect the integrity of the product? This is a goal that designers consider why suppliers are constantly developing new containers, lids, labels and other products, the amount of packaging, and reduce the narrow range of the target price.

2.
Looking for reusable packaging
To a certain degree of reuse of packaging, the only way that is harmless to the environment, the development of packaging products for designers to make the package more practical to use them.

3.Select alternative new packaging for the product distribution
The new technologies and materials less material for the production of injected cases, trays or shelves packaging used to minimize the waste of the packaging.
4.
Packaging design with respect to the lifetime
There are many life-cycle assessment tools can help designers to pack in order to understand the impact of packaging on environment.It important to note that sustainability indicators and standards are constantly evolving and growing, so that while a solution is chosen , it is necessary on the use of various instruments on the packaging the same size you can get different results insist, is the key to ensure consistency and to find the right direction.

5. Recyclable packaging design
The packaging in the manufacturing process is the most effective method to save to use of energy. Although many materials such as paper and PET have to do big, coatings, labels and other packaging elements has achieved to improve the function is difficult to find effective methods of disposal so that the designer must try the new technology, recycled packaging maximize design.
6. Promoting the consumption of packaging strategies
Although most of the packaging looks better than individual packets from the perspective of sustainable development, but compared to the current consumption, small packaging has great benefits for the environment. Packaging for consumer protection is often easier to achieve a breakthrough in its stability.
7.Use raw materials from renewable sources
Packaging based on renewable raw materials - bio plastic made from corn or sugar cane, is the case with the fastest-growing mushrooms made in an area. Compared to conventional materials, these new technologies a few problems in the real production have met, but this is a new way for the sustainable packaging industry.


Indeed there is not really sustainable packaging in the world, on the contrary, the stability of the process is the goal of improving packaging sustainability continues over time, so be the overall environmental impact. In terms of sustainability is packaging materials such as glass, plastic, paper and aluminum, hard to distinguish between good and evil among them. In accordance with the product packaging and a variety of purposes, each material has its advantages and disadvantages. In connection with the concept of sustainable packaging design is well established, there are some ideas to improve the packaging.
