The size design of the corrugated box

The structure of the size of the corrugated cardboard box is determined, it is necessary to large internal diameter of the objects, characteristics, and the tolerance of the product itself, as well as the inner assembly to package or a combination taken into account. We should also consider using different accessories to protect the contents of products. This requires a number of factors in the shape and position of the structure of the position of the box to take into account the sizes.
Corrugated box specific project, usually the size of the diameter of the length, width, depth with mm.
(A) of length (L) of the window size at the end of field;
(B) Width (B): a small piece of the side window at the end of the field;
(C) Depth (D) formed by the back of the box.
The dimensions of the corrugated structure elements of the box model contains the size of inner diameter, the size of production and the dimensions of outer diameter. The size of the outer inner diameter of the corrugated interior of the container body, and the size of the diameter dimensions of the corrugated box equal to the thickness of corrugated cardboard with the actual volume of the production of production of corrugated cardboard retained cardboard boxes in the size of the size of the manufacturing process is equal to the thickness of the corrugated cardboard an inner diameter sized to add corrugated box.
The factors that determine the size of the inside diameter of the corrugated box, is about the maximum diameter of the content and the tolerance factor, the organization of content, content sections, and the size of the buffer. The inside diameter of calculating the following formula:
 Xi = d + (w-1) + k '+ T
Xi is the internal diameter of the corrugated cardboard box, Xmax, the maximum diameter of the content, R is the amount of content to provide a compensation amount of the size of the inside diameter of the corrugated cardboard box, T is a part support or a buffer. "
Production dimensions is calculated as follows:
X = X + m + k
X is the size of the production, the size of the inside diameter Xi, the thickness T of corrugated cardboard, the correction factor k-.
The size of the outer diameter can be calculated as follows:
X0 = X + K
Solution Design begins on the actual state of production and packaging, packaging design of the form factor and internal accessories are based on scientific principles. It must ensure that the structure has sufficient strength, hardness and resistance to any environment. We need the following two aspects, the purpose of packaging, a primary function of security products, another important feature of the package to meet today, such as transportation, handling characteristics.
Thus, the size of the drawing area corrugated very important work in the construction of corrugated cardboard. Protective cartons and in good shape, must be qualified, particularly for packaging with the function of sales packaging and transport containers, design is a reasonable size corrugated box is key. Because of changes in the size of a box of various performance classes will directly affect change. In short, the design of corrugated packaging, depending on the use of technical equipment, production process consists of several waves of corrugated cardboard and the type of goods, and the inner nature. Decorate for the manufacture of corrugated boxes, goods and products to protect, the only way the structure and size of the board design of learning content.


With an increase in the production of corrugated boxes in various fields in recent years, the functions are also indicated higher requirements. Structures made of corrugated cardboard, especially in the storage time of transport, of a reasonable size, shape and distribution of materials can not only reduce costs, provide the best packaging solutions, but also the best protection for effective long-term stress. In these circumstances, the structure and size of the drawing area corrugated increasingly important.
Pleated window design begins with the type of specific products and models. Make sure the design patterns of the box and calculating the size of components. International Models of corrugated boxes are two standards, the standards FEFCO and Japan, American National Standard. Must be sufficiently account for the development of corrugated cardboard or corrugated boxes choices, including channels such as layers of cardboard, paper specifications, which were clearly defined in the rules.

Decorated in a product, only to have some idea of ​​the traditional culture of the people, to understand further the study of modern aesthetics, the science of today's market, the psychology of marketing, as well as language and expressions of contemporary masters, the package can be a gift for combining design, culture and emotions in its terms.However, natural materials should be the main choice of packaging materials in the construction of wrapping paper, including paper, bamboo, wood, dirt, leaves and stems of plants and other natural materials can be. Traditional packaging materials nature, packed with his condition, the treatment of a simple source, well-furnished three forms.
