Corrugated box quality control

Rational design corrugated cardboard

As the details of the corrugated box design refers to the cost of product packaging, and data protection is a function of the product into three categories depending on the size of a large box consolidated less than 2000 mm less than 2000 mm can be divided, but more than 1000 mm of the mean field are less than 1000 mm in a small box. If the structure of corrugated board is too large, it is not only caused by the waste during transport or processing of the product can result in property damage. On the contrary, if the field is too small, then the product is not intended, and do not overtighten to break the box is slightly damaged, do not get the best protection. It also takes into account a lot of difficulties in the management of the finished product, when the specification is too large, the weight of the load will cause. Instead, the weight is too small, it is established, it will prove packaging and processing efficiency.

The relationship between the structure of corrugated cardboard and compressive strength

The most important feature of the corrugated cardboard is a good protection of goods during the entire compression force carton for the embodiment of the importance of protecting cardboard compressive strength is obvious. Analysis of the data showed that the compressive strength and the peripheral edge of the height and width of the length of a special relationship. On the perimeter more, more resistance to compression, the box size and the degree of resistance to compression of the conversion ratio. corrugated design affects the structural strength.

Specification Quality Management

Following the development of standards approved corrugated cardboard, it is expected to meet the standards of production to the needs of users, but also in daily production, there are deviations from the light a certain situation affect the normal use and protection. Caused heavy scrap cardboard, lot size at the same time, it is too small to store food or just collected only in the destruction of the windows, the design and production of cardboard. exhaustive consider some factors affecting the quality control, the thickness of corrugated box, bulimia, tongue lapping, moisture content, punching and bending line of climate change. These factors should be taken into account all the specific quality control has wavy.

The number of items rated resistance

Resistance corrugated direct impact on the product packaging and protective, the engine will affect the performance depends mainly on the basis of the base paper box capable quantitative composition flute features thick cardboard and humidity content.To force improvement wavy, you must first select the category of quality and quantum of paper basis, however, the rational design of the structure of a cardboard box. Third according to the manufacturer. wise, the waves ripple corrugated, thickness and number of layers, the fourth is reasonable to focus on the production of corrugated cardboard force generation is the use of waste from die-cast aluminum teeth during production. Fifth keep a clear fold lines.

Thus, the wave surface design and corrugated box quality control in all aspects, as we understand it, and understand the factors that affect the strength of the board. Reasonable control of the manufacturing process in accordance with the characteristics of the product packaging science, focusing on quality control of origin the entire production process, from designing rigorous inspection technology and management, to reduce not only effective or prevent various quality options theme, but it is better to talk about the effectiveness of production and processing of high-quality products to meet the needs of users.

The tray folding carton

The depth of the tray folding carton is relatively small, and on the underside of the box load large (in relation to the tubular carton). Once opened, the contents of the field to see to choose for the consumer and for sale. These boxes are mainly used for packaging of products such as shoes, clothes, food and gifts.
Unlike the tubular carton, the tray folding carton virtually no change of structure in the lower part of the window, the main structural changes in the position of the box body is reflected, its structure at the bottom, side walls, valves, plugs and other components .
The most common tray folding carton, a shoe box, the main types of structures, including the cover, roller cover, caps, locks, etc.. Box includes training assembly time, the castle window and bond angles in 3 ways.
The structural characteristics of the case, there is an axis of rotation in the forming process, the parts of the body of rotation by a certain angle with respect to the intersection of the two adjacent body panels, molding, the angle of rotation (β) is a key factor in the design of a cardboard box. The expiry date of folding (cover) adjacent to both sides of the formation of an angle α, wherein the intersection of the parts of the molded body and the formation of the angle with the lower edge,  β , γ1, γ2 and angle solution formula:

    β = 360 ° - (α + Σγi)
In the formula, the Σγi axis of rotation in the formation of the sum of the angle  β are set.

Corrugated box structural design

Corrugated boxes are widely used as containers. Corrugated box is the execution of the sale of products sold, and sometimes to end use. The boxes on a certain level of product protection, take care of themselves, but often require internal components, such as routing, protect the force and strength of fragile items. Transport can largely for specific logistics. The factors relevant to the structural design of corrugated boxes with the bodily functions, processing and end use requirements.
The packaging designers with the requirements of the project, including start-up: price pressure, the machine capacity, technical specifications, material specifications, regulatory requirements, customer needs, etc. Options for the structural design and construction are considered different. Samples are often subjected to performance tests in ASTM or other standard test protocols, such as the International Association of Transportation Safety. Structural design goes hand in hand with graphic design. For models based on the use and marketing of discussion groups or quantitative methods to assess the acceptability. Test markets for large programs. Packmage CAD is an easy to use corrugated box structural design software, it contains the standard  FEFCO box templates usually used in the corrugated box structural design:

    Telescope boxes
    Envelopes
   Self-erecting boxes
    The octagonal box
    Slotted Containers
    Trays
    The interior forms
    
To manufacture corrugated boxes design to meet the needs of the delivered goods, there are several threats to the marine environment (shock, vibration, pressure, humidity, etc.), and the needs of retailers and consumers. Pleated window size can be internal (to fit a product) or external (or the use of coating machines), the measured dimensions. The boxes are generally specified and ordered internal dimensions.

The advantages of proper packaging

The commodities widespread in the market now has the phenomenon of excessive packaging, first of all it is  waste of resources, followed by the consumer may feel that the packaging too good to be inside the content of false and excessive packaging will only cause the cost of packaging materials, packaging costs, transportation costs. Proper packaging is the best choice for a reasonable price and protection of natural resources. Products without packaging or unreasonable result in greater loss of time and cost. To reduce improper packaging, you have to pay the proper packing of goods at a reasonable price.
With increasing competition in world trade in the "green line" to switch the main obstacle to the establishment abroad. However, in order to meet the requirements of international law and standards of packaging, packaging has made the concept of foreign consumer goods and consumer culture, meet new strategy of Chinese enterprises. The package has the right under national legislation to promote "minimization, reuse and recycling of packaging waste in biodegradable packaging" green package of strong support for the implementation of national strategies for sustainable development.

Proper packaging is not only for the protection of property effectively, and can provide customers with direct cost savings and improve efficiency. Proper packaging can reduce logistics costs and efficiency of logistics, especially in the following areas: (1) reduction of excessive packaging to reduce the hidden costs of packaging in logistics, (2) Make sure the most current to reduce the volume of transport and the weight of the load the correct size, (3) packaging containers to increase the efficiency of cargo handling and storage management costs, packaging, suitable product quality, reduce the loss of brand quality problems, and can effectively prevent the counterfeiting of goods, maintaining the brand and the goodwill of raw materials.
 
Proper packaging is a platform for information management. The bar code is a two-dimensional code on the packaging of goods, trade in information technology, network management tools. Packaging and labeling of products from the integration of RFID technology provides greater comfort for real-time control, the definition of inventory management and protection products. ① is packing in the final stages of production and logistics in the first stage is an important part of supply chain management. ② control packaging and effective control can only improve the efficiency of production and inventory control, and possibly even solve the problem of counterfeit goods by the administration. ③ In the development of packaging design environment integrated logistics to maximize the efficiency of logistics and utilities.

Take packaging as a marketing tool

In the traditional conception there's a 4P terminal in marketing: product, price, place and promotion are necessary and complement each other. However, the theory of marketing terminal is open in the fifth P - packaging, the most common approach has been proposed for enough attention.




A successful packaging design includes three main following characteristics, accuracy of indicator, image and personality differences. Goods without a brand or a brand is not good, it is, since neither a name nor too dull a person's name, is it hard to impress. A good quality, not just a symbol or a combination of graphics, but clearly reflects the value of goods, the connotation of the brand. Images packaging focus on specific local circumstances, the investment company, pricing strategies, the strategy of consumer segmentation for a common vision and are in the package again. Personality differences in the front and the difficulty of packaging materials. Excellent product packaging must comply with the basic properties of this class, but at the same time to be out of the ordinary, to distinguish it from competing products.
 
After extensive market research, marketing analysis experts suggested to the famous law of DuPont, 63% of consumer purchasing decisions based on the product packaging. To buy at the supermarket, for example, people attractive packaging, goods markets, are generally provided over 45% of the number initially.
Packing for a long period from a goods container, a distinct sense of the perfect shape and construction of cargo terminal reflects the nature of the optimization, brand culture, aspirations and the expression of several positions in marketing device. The packaging has to buy a strong influence on consumer behavior, companies must effectively utilize the role of the marketing kit, please fill out the form to promote products and brands. For small and medium businesses with limited marketing budgets, packaging box is convenient for the brand.

Compared to other methods of marketing, packaging, the unavoidable costs of production, regardless of whether marketing of the company should pay for the package, then according to their impact on consumer groups, packaging is the most effective marketing through advertising. For businesses small and medium enterprises, especially in fast moving consumer goods, packaging must pay more attention. The current package is not limited to the role of container products, but also assumes that funding from the shape of the structure, graphics and advertising, etc., all require professional standards of planning and design . Only in this way, the SMEs could take packaging as a powerful marketing tool to promote the growing business.

Ways for sustainable packaging

1. Minimize use of packaging materials
If possible, the use of packaging materials in a space which minimize not affect the integrity of the product? This is a goal that designers consider why suppliers are constantly developing new containers, lids, labels and other products, the amount of packaging, and reduce the narrow range of the target price.
2.Looking for reusable packaging
To a certain degree of reuse of packaging, the only way that is harmless to the environment, the development of packaging products for designers to make the package more practical to use them.
3.Select alternative new packaging for the product distribution
The new technologies and materials less material for the production of injected cases, trays or shelves packaging used to minimize the waste of the packaging.
4. Packaging design with respect to the lifetime
There are many life-cycle assessment tools can help designers to pack in order to understand the impact of packaging on environment.It important to note that sustainability indicators and standards are constantly evolving and growing, so that while a solution is chosen , it is necessary on the use of various instruments on the packaging the same size you can get different results insist, is the key to ensure consistency and to find the right direction.
5. Recyclable packaging design
The packaging in the manufacturing process is the most effective method to save to use of energy. Although many materials such as paper and PET have to do big, coatings, labels and other packaging elements has achieved to improve the function is difficult to find effective methods of disposal so that the designer must try the new technology, recycled packaging maximize design.
6. Promoting the consumption of packaging strategies
Although most of the packaging looks better than individual packets from the perspective of sustainable development, but compared to the current consumption, small packaging has great benefits for the environment. Packaging for consumer protection is often easier to achieve a breakthrough in its stability.
7.Use raw materials from renewable sources
Packaging based on renewable raw materials - bio plastic made from corn or sugar cane, is the case with the fastest-growing mushrooms made in an area. Compared to conventional materials, these new technologies a few problems in the real production have met, but this is a new way for the sustainable packaging industry.

Indeed there is not really sustainable packaging in the world, on the contrary, the stability of the process is the goal of improving packaging sustainability continues over time, so be the overall environmental impact. In terms of sustainability is packaging materials such as glass, plastic, paper and aluminum, hard to distinguish between good and evil among them. In accordance with the product packaging and a variety of purposes, each material has its advantages and disadvantages. In connection with the concept of sustainable packaging design is well established, there are some ideas to improve the packaging.

White wine box template design

As we all know that most of the packaging used to market directly to glass bottles of wine, ceramics. However, as part of the bottle shape of irregular migration, convenient transportation and installation, and glass bottles and impact force ceramics, abrasion resistance is not very good, there is usually a box, metal boxes, to make it easier to store and transport, as well as the geometric mean of the wine's structure is generally packaging standards of comparison to form a stable structure to better protect the bottle.

The most common structure of the white wine box template cover the bottom of the window to lock the base structure to form a hexagon very solid. To ensure the stability of bottles in a carton, and sometimes the bottom of the window also increases the fixed cover, the lower part of the assembly in a well bore, and the bottle end with the three plates of the cover body the center of the circle of holes, so that the bottles can be limited to space in a small area, a very good defense. This is the most common form of the building used for packaging box of white wine.

White wine box die line templates

 

Above the white wine-box model is the most common Packmage CAD software, we can try to change the length, width, depth values ​​for the design of the box of wine. Then there may be an empty 3-D model.

White wine box 3D blank sample

 

Once the box design has been confirmed, the designers have managed to run a graphic design and import a graphic and CAD Packmage review of the structure of the wine on the structure of the window to the color field. This is much more convenient. Here is another model of wine in a box:
