Color box packaging structure design and skills
Modeling and structure planning is an important part of color box packaging. Packaging structure planning is the planning of packaging and production practice conditions, based on scientific principles of the shape of the packaging structure and internal accessories. Planning is necessary to ensure that the structure has sufficient strength, hardness and resistance to other environments, to be considered from two points, one is to protect the primary function of the product, and the other is to satisfy the important features of modern packaging, such as transportation, processing characteristics.
Qualified color box packaging, starting from the correct structural planning. Planners not only need to really understand the customer’s purpose, but also understand the back-channel processing technology, only then can the customer’s purpose into a qualified product, and can ensure that the product’s back-channel processing is carried out smoothly. Planning staff in the planning before the start to understand the nature of the contents, shape, scale, weight; contents of the placement method, delivery method, stacking method; storage environment, delivery road and time and color box box type and manufacturing materials and other information.
After confirming the various information, but also to understand the requirements of the planning of the color box focuses on the delivery of the color box or the sale of the color box. The sale type color box belongs to the commercial packaging field, focusing on the appearance of the color box image, and in the planning needs to consider the requirements of the printing process. Delivery-type color box belongs to the industrial packaging field, more need to consider the color box pressure, shock and other requirements, to ensure that does not affect the strength of the premise of the planning of the opening, the location of the die-cutting. Because of its repeated use of more, also need to take into account the efficiency of the box, as well as the production efficiency of the factory. When the confirmation of the requirements of the planning of the color box box type, it will be able to start the planning work, planning time it is necessary to pay attention to the following issues.
1, strength issues: flute planning is the primary content of strength planning, cardboard has a single corrugated and multi-layer corrugated, each layer has A, B, C several types of flute can be selected, based on the planning of the organization before understanding. When planning the box type for exported color boxes, the climate and delivery conditions during transportation should be taken into consideration. As a large color box packaging, the corrugated color box should be as simple as possible in planning, easy to transfer, and prevent die-cutting, in order to prevent too much die-cutting process to reduce the overall performance of the color box, and make the process too complex. Together with this, we should also consider the convenience of packing, and in some cases, we also need to consider the mechanical packing and other factors. According to the local transportation, transfer conditions, can be increased in the larger box on the hand hole and other humanized planning, in order to facilitate the transfer.
- Material selection: The selection of material for the color box is an important part of strength planning, which not only affects the printing effect, but also affects the physical properties of the corrugated color box after molding. For example, there is a close relationship between the water content of the paper and the strength of the color box. When matching paper for color boxes, different climatic conditions should be taken into consideration. Export color box in the paper, the material paper is necessary to have higher physical properties. Together with the production of cardboard is also necessary in the breakage resistance, edge pressure, adhesion and other physical properties to meet the provisions.
Color box, color box is loved by an important reason, is its green advantages. Ink, additives, varnish and other consumables such as the use of cardboard or composite cardboard itself recycling performance, waste disposal is necessary to meet the environmental requirements. As food, medicine or children’s toys packaging, whether it meets the requirements of hygiene, health and safety, is a very worthwhile attention. Of course, as the export of color box packaging, it is more important to consider the relevant regulations of the destination country.
- Scale: When planning the scale of a corrugated color box, in addition to setting the length, width and height ratios of the box reasonably according to the contents, consideration should also be given to combining it with different types of containers to make full use of the container’s space, preventing spoilage of space during delivery and facilitating the safe delivery of products.
- Printing process: The planning work should also consider the difference between different printing processes. Domestic printing methods commonly used for corrugated color boxes include offset printing, flexo printing and gravure printing. Changes in printing methods directly affect other processes, and even the printing materials have to be changed. For example, it is difficult to select coated white board paper and print it with water-based ink flexo printing. Can be based on the characteristics of different printing methods and other aspects of the planning of comprehensive consideration of the process plan. Such as the use of the current color box carton popular flexo printing process, we must pay attention to the organization of the layout.
Flexo in the planning of fine lines, small text and drawings with dots, should not be organized in a layout with a large area of full-page field. Because the full-plate field needs a larger printing pressure, easy to make the fine text and drawings show deformation, printing products fuzzy and unclear, showing broken lines, font strokes off, dot loss and other quality problems, and will accelerate the wear and tear or pressure bad printing plate.
