The importance of carton packaging

Today, the growing demand of carton packaging  led to the carton box design industry, it promotes differentiation and important products on the shelves. The materials used cardboard latter increasingly rare, special decorations and clever ways to check the box is, the boundaries between conventional products and high technology are increasingly blurred, more sales of products based on the design sheet.
Increasingly used carton packaging in cosmetics industry from the box to be included within the package. For example, the material EPS impact protection alternating corrugated, lightweight, inexpensive and easy to recycle, etc., in this view of the card is the ideal material for eco-friendly packaging.
Cushion wavy, not only has an excellent buffering capacity, and the ability to meet the requirements of product positioning in the carton packaging, but also the advantages of simple structure, efficient and easy to assemble. Now many perfumes, cosmetics, and so the use of coating micro-corrugated to improve the compressive strength of the paperboard in order to improve the quality of the package. Corrugated thin and a variety of ways of saving high strength corrugated more environmentally friendly. Activity at a certain point, the products of the box are easy to recycle, reuse and is ideal for "green" packaging.
Among the four modern packaging materials - paper, plastic, glass, metal, paper and plastic packaging grows faster. Paper and plastic are the two most commonly used packaging materials which have played an increasingly important role in many fields, such as medicine, food and health, cosmetics and cleaning products. Based on the carton packaging has a larger space development, Model collapsible bag packaging machine and automatic high-speed lead meets the requirements for the packaging line and of printing and processing. Commonly followed by other multi-board applications, such as the quality of the performance requirements more stringent than users of paper products, which. To further increase the quantity of multilayer materials

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 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.
