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.
