Keyboard packaging design

Keyboard packaging design: Keyboard is the frequent used input device in our daily life, once we bought a PC, there will be all kind of packaging boxes for monitor, mouse, motherboard, keyboard, Hard Disk etc. In this article I'd like to talk about keyboard packaging design. The process divided into 2 parts, keyboard box structural design and graphic design, here we go.

For keyboard box structural design, I mainly used Packmage CAD software, firstly I need to pick up the keyboard box template from its library.

Input the length, width, depth, caliper value etc. according to requirements. For example, L=400mm, W=145mm, D= 35mm, Cal=1mm, then we can save the settings with DXF format to generate the keyboard die cut template to facilitate the printing.

The second step is graphic design, we can use AI or Photoshop software for keyboard packaging graphic design, the keyboard box structural design also can be saved as PDF format, once we start graphic design, we can import the PDF format into Photoshop directly.

Once the graphic design finished, we can import the graphic design into Packmage CAD software to texture with the keyboard structural design, the we can check the 3D box modeling via 3D module.

See, the whole keyboard packaging design process is easy, try it yourself now.

How to check the carton box structure with 3D module

For box structural designers, when design a carton box template for clients it is very hard to check whether the box structural design is reasonable or not without physical reference. In this article we will discuss how to use Packmage CAD software 3D lines mode to check the rationality of the carton box.

At first, we need to find out a die line template in Packmage CAD box template library, for example, a shoe box template.

The photo above is the die line of a shoe box template, there has a interior lock structure on the lid of the shoe box. Once we finished the structural design of the shoe box according to the required size, we will go to the 3D mode check the structural design.

Look at the photo above, we are still not clear for certain size details via this 3D box modeling picture, or doubt the whether the sizes of shoe box are reasonable or not. For example, the lid structure of the shoe box can not be seen completely.

In Packmage CAD software, we can switch to lines mode by press short cut key L in the 3D interface.

During this mode, we can check the whole structure of the shoe box clearly, and the whole process is easy enough. However, one thing we need to pay attention, because the 3D module displays the material of the shoe box, which means it will display the caliper of the paper, so before we use line mode to check the box structure in 3D module, we have to change the caliper value into 0 in Parametric design interface.

Fast food packaging design

Fast food packaging design: The Importance of fast food packaging design in most cases that a company uses can have a significant impact on whether a product sells successfully. The most successful products incorporate elements of good design, environmentally friendly packaging for food and drink, and important information that helps consumers make good decisions.

Good fast food packaging design should protect food quality as well as enhances customer satisfaction by making it easier and neater to eat large, messy sandwiches. Furthermore, the design should be:

· Enhanced product quality and integrity

· Superior heat retention and moisture absorbency/loss ratio

· Sales building tool for drive-thru

· First in source reduction, environmentally responsible

· Unique and fun for consumers

· Cost-effective

Here we mainly introduce a fast food packaging design, pizza box packaging. Firstly we can search pizza box templates on Packmage CAD website, it classified the box templates according to their usages.

Look at the pizza box templates above, the structure is very simple and intuitive, but it considered the factors listed as follow:

1> Self-locking structure, this kind of box template structure can be transported unfolded to save cost and facilitate users use them at any time. Furthermore, those box templates is healthier to load fast food because it do not have to be glued.

2> The pizza box template has holes for ventilation to keep food fresh and it can be heated with micro-wave.

Once the pizza box template parameters has been modified according to requirements, we can check the blank sample in Packmage CAD 3D module.

The next step is the graphic design of the pizza box template, it requires a combination of skills. On one hand, professional designers need to know how to create designs that coordinate with the client's branding strategy. On the other hand, food package design must contain important information about the food's ingredients and nutrition.
