The structure of carton packaging

The structure of carton packaging

When we choose the material for the carton box, next step would be applying to reasonable, scientific structural packaging design in order to keep the goods safe during transportation and storage.

In a number of packaging materials, paper and paperboard as a packaging material not only has a long history, but also accounts for a sizeable proportion. In this article I would like to take carton box packaging design as an example introduce the knowledges realted to carton box structural packaging.

According to the usages and the shapes, the paper packaging structure can be summarized as the following four aspects: the structure of carton packaging, the structure of paper bags and paper cups packing structure.

The structure of carton packaging can be divided into folding carton structural design and glued carton structural design.

Folding cartons with high efficiency, facilitate the sales and carrying, and it has low production costs, coupled with the use of folded stacked to save the packaging warehousing and transportation costs, etc., so folding carton has been widely adopted in the packaging industry.

The folding carton can be divided into tubes and tray carton packaging. Tube carton box itself was a vertical-shaped, suitable for vertical bottle of wine, cosmetics, medicines and other packaging. Tray carton packaging is the most widely used in supermarkets, from food and textiles and then to the grocery goods. The folding carton is generally no adhesive, tied to each other then locking cardboard for carton forming and sealing.

Glued carton, also known as hard paper case, it has better strength and beautiful appearance than the average folding boxes, giving a valuable sense, is commonly used in high-end merchandise and gift packaging. There are many types of glued cartons, can be summarized as roll cover carton, window style carton, displays carton, portable carton, closed carton, slide carton and set-up carton.

Roll cover carton means this structure is to cover the body and the box combined with the cover side of the body fixed on the other side to open the folding carton. Because of the structure is simple, and more convenient to open and close, this kind of structure has been quite commonly used in carton box structural packaging design.

The window style carton exhibited surface on the box to make it transparent, so that consumers can see partly or full of the contents. The window size or position mainly based on the product features and graphic design for scientific, rational, beautiful purpose.

Displays carton, also known as "POP" box available for advertising and display, and can fully show the shape of the packaging. Displays packaging can be divided into two categories: one is without lid; another is with a lid, the lid can be opened for exhibition, closed for transportation.

the box biggest feature of portable packaging is easy to carry, it can be portable carton box. This modeling structure equipped with a handle on the box body. the handle part can be attached or made by the cover and side face extension mutual lock

The characteristics of closed packaging is fully enclosed with good security, ease of use. Closed cartons inserted holes along the open line tearing open the form mainly used for beverages and other disposable packaging.​​

Slide packaging also known as pull-out. The form of a double structure of another part of the pull in the form, and thus has a solid, thick, easy to use features. Set-up packaging refers to the related products together with ancillary packaging, or packaging of a number of the same product with more than combinations of packaging.

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.

See, the whole keyboard packaging design process is easy, try it yourself now.
