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.
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.
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:

The characteristics of the folding carton packaging
Carton boxes
with widespread structural design of many types, the rigidity
of a mailbox of cardboard, cutting, folding, are connected. The
most important feature is the storage position and look smart, reducing
costs and shipping space, is suitable for automatic packaging machine
for forming, filling, compacting and other processes that contribute to the
sale of boxes and displays, for a variety of printing processes, and
contributes to the promotion and marketing of products easily at low
cost through a series of slides produced, punching grooves, process folding gluing, packing in various forms, compared with metal, glass, plastic packaging is much cheaper. There are characteristics of a cardboard box.
① low cost. Produced in only small quantities, and the choice of semi-automation equipment, the value of the fixed tray with boxes to compete with plastic windows, but in mass production, when the mold is expensive , associated with a product is very low, the cost can compete with the case.
② The low cost of transportation. Cardboard can in a flat shape with small rooms for shipping and storage and distribution is smaller than the rigid shell and plastic boxes are folded.
③ Suitable for the production of a support and large batch. Folding mechanism with the stuffing box, roll covers, prints, packages and containers, offering a high yield.
④ Other changes in the structure. Sections of the coating roll of cardboard to make the shrinkage curve, the style of windows, billboards, POP displays and other innovative changes in the structure there is a good display.
⑤ The lower force. Folding cartons are usually limited to only a few of ~ 2.5 kg of cargo, the largest box size to 200 ~ 300 mm.
⑥ cartion structure folding away the packaging is elegant, can not be used as a precious gift wrapping.
Comfortable, easy to use, especially in the most efficient transfer of the branded product, and the natural taste of the product Folding radiates a sense of joy: a warm, breathing, and even perfume. This makes the product of the pack, with a top layer of solid, and the effect of photo therapy particular game in a cultural climate that is ideal for packing the most advanced products. Cartons to better meet the connotation of the brand product: color texture, style, design, structure and surface. So the folding carton packaging is favored by many famous brands of cosmetics, especially as gift boxes.

The magic of packaging design
Packaging design to meet the basic needs of the product, we should pay more attention to the "content" for the project. If
the concept of packaging design is the art of changing clothes and
packaging of the human body and its manifestations is a dress, is the
design of the packaging, the color of spiritual thought and culture . Costume,
their thoughts and self-improvement may reflect, packaging design to
reflect the different connotations of products, brands, company.
First, we find the personal characteristics of the product, the same age, people have different characteristics of the personality, the product of the same. The same type of product has its own characteristics. Compare similar products to find another point of division of the class of consumers for the target market is the exact positioning of the distinctive personality of the entry point of the product in the package. Also in this case, the package is also the image and the accumulation of culture resist. Packaging is designed for production, the products come from companies, packaging design, of course, is a reflection of culture image.Finally, packaging design also reflects the geography of our national culture. This is particularly important in the design of the packaging of the food industry.
The implementation of a package design usually a package design in three dimensions and design: decorative three-dimensional shape is the main form of packaging. Recently that the development and application of new materials, and more room for packaging design, traditional materials such as paper, wood, fabric ... is no longer the only option. New materials and recycled materials for new forms of environmentally friendly packaging design.
In the words of flat decorative use of color no longer remain in the traditional sense. The reason is that to change the color of the main access creative original manufacturer's specifications reflects need product information, images, graphics, icons and other visual elements.
From the perspective of packaging design, pack your belongings with certain materials, is their main objective, all intact, convenient transportation, a practical science, the notion of substance "refers; Jewels" refers to things, jewelry change. This applies to a set of good things from a different approach to decorating the landscape, so the package looks the best, it is the aesthetic category of the term culture. Include the "packaging" is a rational and effective combination of these two concepts.
"Functional" should always be the first principle in designing the packaging no matter what form they should be given, for its compact, ergonomic, are a type of product safety, convenience packaging. Sometimes, the blind pursuit of designers of new materials and new forms, so that the essential requirements for packaging, safety, reliability and comfort, is taboo in packaging design. This is particularly important in the chemical industry, medical equipment, electronic packaging products.

Why visual and touch sense is essential in packaging design
The sense
of visual and touch on packaging depends packaging materials, textures
and surfaces of packaging materials, it must give a different look to
various information and solutions, and developed the package design,
using materials and textures to meet the content of messages sent in the package being investigated. Vision
and touth generally opposite and unified, is a tactile contact of a
true reflection of the experience, so it abstractly, in such a case,
according to the sense of touch to a symbol may be
the symbol generated by past experience, and then, after the
acquisition and conversion to a type of visual information that is
important later in court.
The sense of visual and touch imported into the package design must be installed in a vision, that is, to have a strong visual communication with the consumer to be, it's packaging, product appearance , consumer understanding of the product by the packaging products are imported from using visual and sensory tolerable in the design of the packaging, consumers want to buy goods and recognition. He generally uses the following three steps:
(1) The packaging design, materials and textures on the package. For example, packaging the use of tea directly from bamboo and ceramics. This method is currently the most widely used method is more traditional methods.
(2) the use of simulation, with other traditional packaging materials such as imitating the characteristics of paper, plastic, glass or the consistency of the material in a visual sense of touch and receives , to create the product design of effective visual communication for the consumer.
(3) With the technology of pressure to simulate the structure of a kind of visual effects, such as the sense of touch can be imported into the concept of packaging design. Consumers can easily access original distance through the package for a Visual Basic understanding of the feelings of freight to determine the demand for the purchase of this product.
Visual function by packaging plays an important role in sales, it has more in-depth study on how to transfer content. Recognize also that the touch judge as an object of the universality and importance of people, in an objective, an agreement between persons and things must be established. His understanding of the universality of the packaging of consumer goods. Thus, the sense of sight and touch is very important in the design of the packaging.
In many cases the first impression of the packaging is an important basis for consumers to identify and select products. Packaging for domestic tasks of visual communication is an important factor in the ability to maintain sales of the product. Thus, this feature of the package is too often exaggerated, and pointed out that excess packaging to exaggerate the benefits of national wealth. The packaging is a visual communication can lead consumers to correctly identify the product, the purchase of goods, then took us to the end of the packaging is convenient, but only the right to use a package of visual communication that packaging design packaging to improve our lives. The visual content of the communication package includes not only the color, text, graphics, simulation, and also include packaging materials, texture, textures, and integrate the various elements will be passed on to consumers by through visual and tactile, so there is a correct assessment of the goods.

The importance of 3R1D principle in green packaging design
The 3R1D principle means Reduce, Reuse, Recycling and Degradation. These principles of packaging design requirements for the formation of the concept of green packaging design, including packaging, from design to production, use and waste disposal, recycling treatment.
The so-called green packaging, also known as Eco-Packaging (ecological unit). It directly reduces the final waste, and a drastic reduction in the degree of environmental damage. So, in terms meet the basic functions of packaging, improved green packaging at least one package that includes resource conservation and energy production, technology to reduce emissions, reduce the cost movement that links the consumer, so that the excess supply of goods less waste. In this way, the developer of the idea of packaging material, packaging and style of decoration of the structure, and packaging, the use of simple design principles, focus on reducing Excessive consumption of material away.
When resources are used effectively, it helps to reduce the speed of natural resources and reduce emissions. However, after the event processing, disposal, recycling of packaging waste must be additional input of resources and energy in most cases, and many new introductions of pollutants into the environment. If you can, the contents of the resource is too low, the processing means are too complex or too expensive for the collection of packaging waste, and can also use the principles of reuse and recycling is not possible achieve the objectives protection.Designers believes environmental packaging becomes waste after use, you should try the packaging design to facilitate subsequent processing.
The best green packaging is no packaging. Reduce the use of materials directly from the source to resource management in the packaging cycle.which life does not mean that the package is able to remove the decorations redundancy expensive to get rid of all unnecessary parts, Components, Packaging Products for refinement and optimization, packages and products with a high degree of unity. To reduce the material in the package design, the designer can start with a new material, structural packaging and decoration package.

The economic features of packaging design
The package has two functions, so the packaging design must the scientific and
practical, aesthetic and economic thought, the natural or social,
scientific or aesthetic principle of all principles and limitations,
taking into account the effects of economic principles, because they are on economic principles.
For most designers, who tend to be a feeling or understanding that many factors determine the shape of the packaging design, designers, very important, but high-level designers to develop the capacity and the level can be played or not, capital plays a crucial role. The products of the same quality for the designer, paper, plastic, wood, metal, ceramic or glass can be used as a packaging material due to differences in the structure of these materials, various visual effects, and to produce differences in performance levels of creativity and design recommendations of the cost of packing and VAT is of paramount importance.
You could see in the package designer needs to demonstrate that the design of commercial packaging must watch the market, so that a consumer product to be fashionable, by design. How can we design the packaging, coupled with the market? The economic point of view - has this material, the subject was again returned. On technical requirements for packaging technology or design or production environment. In particular, the technology behind it means that production in the production of modern social and designers in the design process to help improve and may, or even update existing technology. For the package, although not very big, powerful, accurate and technically, in collaboration with various packaging materials, and the computer, printing, and technological progress, technical factors, packaging design has improved significantly. An intelligent designer to design the perfect program for your project into production, should be aware and stop at a variety of technical, design and innovation in the proper use of various technologies.
Design of the packaging of its products is essential, on the other side, once separated from the design of production lines, some of them are still active, while others went to church, but business-oriented design for the company to leave the production results of converts trained with the requirements for the production of life, its value to production. The cost of the package design is temporary and is not fixed, which is reflected in the production, to measure the continued production of the whole package from start to, costs for the program design Packaging not only by the number of times measured creative output, the number of deliveries, excellent package is immeasurable in its economic value.
In a market economy, the fact that a consumer that the activity of producers and the fact that the market is a business, so that the benefits of economic profitability, the designer must take great care, understanding and application to take understanding of this truth firmly design. The project also has an understanding of the characteristics of the packaged product, the quality of the depth of consumer research to determine the structure of consumption for the development and changes in legislation, to identify and trace all levels society, consumer psychology and the use and impact of master in psychology.
