Carton box step and repeat with Packmage CAD software

Carton box step and repeat process is the basic process for carton packaging manufacturing, it related to the profits rate of the printing factory, so how to save cost in this process is the most concerned topic in the printing industry. Packmage CAD step and repeat features could step and repeat single box template rapidly with optimized solution, if there are two or more carton box templates on one cardboard, it should step and repeat manually to get the best step and repeat solution to save paper.

Carton box templates

 

                                                 

 Please check the carton box templates above, they are from the same client and the quantities is huge, if we only select one box template to step and repeat, there will be lots of waste during printing, the paper utilization is much more lower than step and repeat them together. There's small skills we could step and repeat them manually.

Firstly we could use the tools in the tools bar to adjust the position of the two box templates on the cardboard. Here we only need to Y flip the right box template, then move them together.

Informational improves carton packaging industry

The project of information technology in the work of the board allows the exchange of information and coordination within the company, but also allows us to understand customer needs, packaging is done, the progress so far completed as a producer of paperboard, it is difficult to understand the sales of specific products, customers, allowing customers to take part in the development of the box, allowing companies to cardboard, the path of rapid development and better, because there are customers really need.

First, you must create a database of material and design knowledge. The implementation of the design library of materials that can enrich the knowledge of the designer in order to stimulate more creative inspiration. This is the creation of design skills, or pack of the knowledge base designer to understand the needs of customers involved the production of packaging products, the advantages and disadvantages of the machine, and so on, the production of products designed to meet the full needs of customers. He must analyze the needs of the knowledge of design and equipment, as well as classify and organize. As a designer, the knowledge and the necessary equipment can be used to discuss the advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the fact that the basis for the design of the library entry, data entry of customer contribution to knowledge and design skills.
Second, the interaction of software and processes. If the designers have done preliminary work, design work was really a cardboard box under the "boot." You can imagine the design work is a closed process, our understanding of knowledge and skills to develop a package of products, research and client, the cardboard boxes, cardboard, designed to show customers the tools to use the drop manufacturing.The software support for this volume procedure greatly increases the speed and quality of the design box.
There are many structural design software for carton box design, the most impressive carton packaging design software is Packmage CAD. Graphics programs include AI, Photoshop, etc., which is not sufficient, able to develop tools for business cards on their own information management system as a system of scientific research, production analysis of customer data, the box design of compression systems to meet our needs into a farce.
First, we got a customer, the system study and analysis of customer surveys, data collection and site to find clients an implicit request to the client system to improve the analysis of the studies, the use of "Analysis of research data about customers, with the requirements of the manufacturing process of various parameters needs of customers who use these data in the system with material substance, capable of identifying materials that meet the needs of clients. In order to choose the appropriate structure and modeling when she meets the needs of customers. You can use the software in the construction of the block. Structural design and Graphics can be synchronized, as well as design and graphics will be implemented in stages. This can significantly improve worker efficiency design to save time.
In fact, software development, the structural characteristics of the display for more than cardboard, like Packmage CAD 3D, it is easy to see carton and modeling. It also offers advanced 3D software to allow customers in the design process to include card very well. In particular, graphic design, illustration and fine print to change things replicates very painful, because it differs from the 3D-display of their intentions. Software-based maps to show customers and allows customers to better understand the needs of their packaging.





With the strategic adjustments to adapt the organizational structure, the designers of cardboard in front of a large number of people and companies in various sectors and the needs of customers, reduces design time, was committed in relation to the modularity and information. Good working processes and software developers to do more with less, which makes the courage of information technology in the design of the package. However, the board design informational not so simple, can be solved with some software. What should I do to implement information technology in the design of the box? With regard to the needs of the project works? It requires good governance and strikes in the software life-like motion of the software design process.

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.

the soul of product packaging design

Product packaging design is not just a matter of aesthetics, most importantly, to introduce the properties of the product with the help of visual images. To establish and stabilize their position in the market and, ultimately, to improve packaging design sales.A success, resulting in the organization for the development of new, experiencing a new market. Thus, packaging design, and not just a beautiful decoration. Function in a competitive market has played a role included should not be underestimated. Successful package design is not just, it must be the result of co-founder of visionary entrepreneurs and designers to be professionals.
The meaning of innovation is an important design element concept.Innovative packaging design should be clear to information, quality of service, a single plan for the transfer is enough to show the strength of market positioning and a sense of stimulation and contains a rich culture of design. Culture is a project basis for the development of innovative packaging, it is only up to the market culture, we emphasize the cultural and innovative design package expressive, rich in images, but also makes it easy to understand, with lots of personality.
The innovative packaging design should be rooted in the soil of the nation. Packaging design should be part of corporate culture, as practically and artistically. The innovative packaging design is inseparable from the folk and national identity. We're talking about packaging innovation in the long history of ethnic and cultural construction. Every nation has its own characteristics: the American luxury, bold, innovative, classic British Conservatives, the Japanese luxury good, good, quiet, romantic German, French, subtle and strong. And the Italian imagination, all you can see easily. Keep the geographical features of national culture and the judicious use in the design and use it to bring in the internal affairs of the subject expressed.
Market knowledge and advanced concepts are important prerequisites for the development of innovative packaging. The market economy is a competitive market, consumer demand is a diversified, packaging design is not simply to transmit information on consumer goods to meet, and have the opportunity to walk in the minds of consumers. The main goal should be to respond to the market, the idea of ​​beauty and consumer psychology. We emphasize that the concept of advanced designers to experiment with products that lead the market ahead of its time. Doors Inovation not behid, of which only in the depths of society, and to compare the market and find ways other people do not, deisn innovative as possible.
Only the innovative design and maintain the viability of the market. The design of the original study and the study of natural innovation.Of continuously all the time, the innovation process, sometimes designers will continue to self-denial and continue to create a new process of self-organization is based, the developer has to be an endless pursuit of innovative design package.

The innovative packaging design is a hot topic in the design, packaging design should be called truly innovative adequately reflect the creation of the ideal properties of time is a cultural and ethnic styles, including the type of activity and characteristics of the product, privileged and honored to be in resonance with consumers at first sight . 

6 steps in packaging design

How to design proper packaging for a new product? which principles it should follow? I hope these tips will help you.
1. Positioning of the brand or product
If there is a new brand, you need to offer brand positioning on the value of a good delivery brand look and sound brand. If this is a new product to the historic brand, you have to think about as if it is different from the original package design, product updates, product, or more innovative products.
2. Find the consumers
Of course, we must assume that packaging design on it, thinking that the target consumer for the core and the core values ​​and aesthetic tastes of consumers. You need to determine their understanding of consumers, whether good or bad, according to taste or a bad idea to use, good looks and buying habits of consumers, to determine the hypothesis that your goal is to offer consumers the perfect virtual package.
3. Find the segment between competition
In search of a package with the same quality, variety, or the value proposition, the study of their packaging design, to enhance the separation point on the basis of the package. In addition, the package, which can have different colors, symbols, characters, etc., to be.
4 Find your style and sound packaging
This is very important that the product has a unique and soul. There will be decided on the package? Start your design package, if you are free.
5 Scroll and highlight the unique selling point 

You were the soul and a unique package design? Make provision for the assessment of your screen. It is often not the most accurate, is the most important package is now available, compared with a constant reflection on it.
6 Cost factors
Do not forget to consider the cost of new packaging, in most cases, even if the cost increases, but they increase the unprepared, as far as possible unnecessary packaging hopeless.
In the process of specific packaging designers should listen carefully to the sales and specific aspects of the concession for the best packaging design.

For small and medium-sized businesses, there is no budget for advertising and public relations, but the reasons for the brand and the needs are the same. In this case, which began in brand building, in bits, of course, is a wise decision. Package design may have a crucial role in the promotion of the brand, is also an important element to create a static field and improve the brand image. However, many SMEs in China, do not really know much about the importance of packaging design as part of marketing. Thus, to be more pragmatic, the first step in creating a brand and distribution of packaging design. Messages can be sent in time all the packaging is not so easy to make, with respect to the replacement cycle for a long time, so that once a poor condition, have been published, not only do not promote a product, but also the most likely cause economic loss.

3 directions of packaging design

1. Marketing-oriented
The main purpose of packaging design isn't wrapping, it's a market for product positioning, marketing and sales. The market is very large school in which the opponents of our first teachers, consumers have told us that the standard answer. Packaging design should focus on the market offers more design engineers are always contrary to the dealer or employee of the marketplace, but it is difficult to understand this concept, which requires that our designers will require further research to analyze market research, induction, so that scientific research is comprehensive and applies to companies, retailers and consumers with a unique design of the market.
2. Study-oriented
The quality of packaging design and more dependent on the actual quality of the Creator, the main factor in accordance with the methods of engineering and scientific methods in marketing research in the near future, market analysis, data collection, research, and thought that we usually take 2/3 times, and the rest time, they do it. We spend a lot of time on the functions of planning, modeling, morphological analysis, goals and needs of consumers, product use, the use of time, space, environmental studies, provided a good basis for the design of packaging, so it is hard and strong vitality.

3. Strategy-oriented

The design of the packaging, we must first understand that the product-marketing strategy! If there is a new brand, we have to fill in the sales and brand positioning to consider. If this is a new product with the old brand, we must think about the continuity of the best brands. In short, we must design the direction of innovative products based on the updated strategy. For some initial problems, and good strategic thinking should be specifically addressed.
