Pharmaceutical carton packaging

Carton is the main form of Pharmaceutical packaging, with the expansion of OTC (OTC) pharmaceutical companies have increased the demand and needs of the Board. So the modern pharmaceutical carton packaging should meet the following requirements:


Packaging Design

Non-prescription drugs. As a product, its packaging to reflect the quality of the products and, indirectly, the safety of products and public health, pharmaceutical companies have certain requirements for the packaging design of OTC Firstly, individual design software are not only easy to promote the image of the drug and the brand, but also contributes to the study of consumer perception. Second, the selection of high-quality paper, the quality of products.


Automatic transmission for business needs

Improve the performance of the machine continues to meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies as well as to reduce costs.

ID bar codes

With different design pharma pharmaceutical packaging is very similar in the repackaging of pharmaceutical products can be confusing if an error occurs, the consequences can be catastrophic. The solution is to add the identification code of the bar in the drug box, scanner recognize barcodes folding box installed so that we can effectively avoid confusion. In addition, the technology also has the barcode is the role of anti-counterfeiting and anti-R & D center to meet the logistics of automatic identification and rapid identification.


Anti-counterfeiting technology

WHO presented the Declaration of Geneva that more than 10% of global sales of medicines are counterfeit. Nonprescription drugs, consumers can buy a special article where counterfeit products, it will affect the health of consumers, in severe cases, it will be life-threatening if pharmaceutical companies require a high level of anti-counterfeiting packaging have.

The standard of the carton packaging quality

As modern carton packaging cares more about the sales function, the protection performance has long been insufficient to meet the needs of companies adapted. The company will continue to work on the package, which is also on the board of sensory standard be raised also contributed. The standards can be summarized as follows:

1. Cardboard and paper glued phenomenon of internal tissues to absorb water.

2. In accordance with the model of the press, the text box should be clearly and correctly positioned exactly the same depth, not to be a problem of ink without printing error, the bar code must be identified.

3. should not overlap angle and travel cover must not exceed 5 mm, after the formation of the corner holes pile should be no more than 5 mm, width 35 mm round base band 50 mm.

4. The line width board shall not exceed 12 mm, bending lines placed in the center needs, it should not affect the other interrupts, double row, row is a touch.

5. Do not crush, incidence angle, barrel distortion 2 minutes in the package of the test pressure.

6. adhesive coating of cornstarch should be equally full, without overflow. Adhesive should be clean, solid, two terminals aligned down the displacement of 2 mm.

7. 5 mm, 7 mm bore with an internal diameter of 18 mm and 20 mm spacing to two 102 mm-104 mm of cardboard with finger holes, two holes in the handle to be the center of the entire width of the holes.

8 box with air holes, the hole diameter is 15 mm, the hole is not allowed, printing designs and fonts.

9. Surface of the body of the box is not damaged, and the bundle of spots, rust, cracks and other defects in materials makes seams paper, flute available through the plastic, folding, there is a lack of materials, colors and other defects shall comply with the material is the basic rule of the board.

4 processes of the carton box production

1. Carton box design
There is a great influence on the carton box structure design, which can be achieved with an automatic packaging machine. In many cases this is due to the size of some parts of the result in undue boxed product can not be implemented in automatic packaging machines, or the rate of loss would be huge. Well, there are a lot of software for the design of cardboard packaging to develop a structural model, for example, Packmage CAD software that takes full account of cardboard and locked in carton box structure design could help to improve the design work.
2. Carton box step and repeat
With respect to the orientation of the fibers in the paper, you can see the difference in normal conditions. During the printing process, the external force causes the paper warp, the cancellation of the external forces, the paper in its original state can be called tensile strength, related to the provision of paper fiber. Thus, during the test phase and under the authority of the box again, if possible, to maintain the parallel opening of cardboard fiber orientation in the direction of cardboard to ensure the opening of the window is not too large, and, by the tension of the paper fibers so that the shell after the formation of irregular irregularly during the molding process, so that packaging machine just a window to open the smooth production.
3. Carton box cutting and creasing
In the process of cutting a scoring matrix attachment quality knife key to quality of care is guaranteed, but also the condition that the arm. Direction of the line of folding carton has a certain influence on the width of the fold to have a width of fold line optimal, may be the direction of the bend lines on the printing surface is ignored.
The cardboard box can be deformed to the process of the packing line, the production seems smooth cardboard protection is very important. Habit was with boxes stacked to save the box. In general, try not to block the box at the bottom, which could break box folding.

4. Temperature and humidity affects on carton box
Varying conditions of temperature and humidity, window shapes change. New Product paper in a short time, the water content is too high, it is easy to bend and deform. Thus, the new document within a month or more to be saved, so that the moisture content of the paper can be accepted humidity. 

pharmaceutical carton packaging design

There are generally 6 principles in the pharmaceutical carton packaging design:

1. Branding

Pharmaceutical companies are required to collect the search results in order to extract the main points of the distribution of pharmaceutical products, in combination with the communication strategy, marketing, point of sale as the most important factor in the packaging design to achieve the goal of attracting consumers to buy.

2. Form of packaging

In the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical companies should pay more attention to the shape of cartoon innovation to modify their products for many pharmaceutical dosage form similar izdeliya.Polzovateli windows, the size, structure, pharmaceutical boxes, after the printing process, the display effects to improve on the tray.


3. Text

Text messaging is one of the most important factors in the design of pharmaceutical cartons. Reasonable accommodation of text can ensure that patients with automatic driving, the message must be clear about the primary and secondary patients have good intentions.



4.Anti-counterfeiting technology


Counterfeit drugs are not only a significant impact on patients' health or life, but it also affects the reputation of pharmaceutical companies. With the proliferation of pharmaceutical sales channels, improving the safety of pharmaceutical products is inevitable. Shaped box packaging of pharmaceutical products, medicines bring the fight against counterfeiting comfort.

5. The unit of the identity


Pharmaceutical companies should be on the coherence and consistency of cardboard can focus Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceuticals awareness of the identity can be distinguished. For. On the image of the company, pharmaceutical companies typically focus on corporate branding package drawing board even more impressive, attractive, so that consumers can recognize and feel the difference


6. Eco-friendly

With the growing concern for the global environment, the green field of medicine revolution to a new level has been pushed, a harmless, environmentally friendly, renewable and recyclable improve sustainable packaging effectively branding pharmaceutical companies with a focus on social responsibility is a key trend pharmaceutical cartons.

The basic features in gift packaging design

In the process of gift packaging design, graphic design and resources to new economic stimulus plan and the image quickly penetrate the subconscious, subconsciously invite people to carefully check the desire landmarks, comparisons provide decision making and purchase process. Gift box design is very important. Learn how the gift packaging design and be sure to follow these five characteristics:

1. Attractive

The main purpose of a gift package design to make a beautiful gift box. The key to a successful graphic design is where the packaging could catch the consumers' eye bows or not. In general, the term is an external authorities access important information. This practice has shown that 70% of external information obtained in the eyes of the people, the human eye is capable of receiving text messages and instant access to information from the graph. Feel useless stimulation (data) to the brain, perception, concentration stimuli graphics to create a visual representation of features.


2. Intuitive

The text is displayed in the gift box is a form of dissemination of information, language, symbols, and if customers do not understand the laws of this kind, you know what it means. May submit, such as English, the design restrictions of gift-box land, some people are just a bunch of text inside, knowing nothing, does not cause sensation. Use tables and graphs to express awareness of different areas. All information at a glance Simple and clean graphic language that facilitates visual communication is an intuitive, graphical, like playing in the real world, so that the confidence of the population to transmit the language clearer information.

3.Consistency

The purpose of the gifts of the packaging design, especially for the protection and promotion of products. Charting package and graphics in general, if it. The effects of all aspects of the package, for example, the entire packet to be considered necessary to ensure the continuity of the goods must display tube and the appearance of the Windows taskbar graphics are very different, so that you can view a range of packaging graphic design, in particular the type and dimensions of the package structure, a single design anything. With integrity, but also the effect of visual features

4.Understanding

Gift card Gift exhibits a distinct change in the design of the carton game, so that consumers can see exactly what to do to understand the importance of the program without misunderstandings of this phenomenon.

5. Fun expression

The gift packaging conveys accurate information, but often cold and rigid packaging, result in the art of transmitting information to the expression of pleasure people get information in a very relaxed and happy. Highly subjective mind to edit the form designer to create the perfect beauty of form and taste, taste a graphical representation of their purchasing power of consumers.

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.
