In the printed matter market, the design and production of packaging boxes occupy a large share. The structure of the packaging box is similar to the three-dimensional structure. Its shape and layout design requirements are perfectly integrated with the product, the shape is simple, the structure is scientific and reasonable, the packaging is convenient and practical, and the material is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Packaging box production involves many printing process technologies.
From the perspective of structural modeling, the packaging box is divided into two types: fixed structure and folding structure. The fixed structure cannot be disassembled before and after use, because it takes up more space, transportation and storage, and the cost is high. Most of them are used for packaging fragile items and valuables; Low cost, suitable for quantitative production. There are also a large number of complicated printing processes in the post-production of packaging boxes, which need to go through procedures such as die-cutting, creasing, beer-shaping, and pasting assembly.
The materials of the packaging box include corrugated paper, coated paper, single-layer white card, fancy paper, etc. When designing special product packaging, avant-garde designers also use some special materials such as cloth, metal sheet, PVC, wood board and so on. After the design plan leaves your computer and is handed over to the printing supplier, it needs to go through roughly 6 steps to complete. Below we use a complete example to illustrate the packaging box design and production process.
In the process of designing packaging boxes, designers also need to master the international standard requirements for the materials and appearance of related product packaging. In addition, according to the actual use of packaging materials and certification status, combined with the standard requirements of each country for different product packaging, the following corresponding warning graphics and texts should be indicated, such as: recyclable signs, international safety certification of electronic products, green environmental protection, product implementation International standards, etc.
Regarding the use of warning graphics and certification marks.
Certification marks are divided into compulsory certification and voluntary certification. Internationally and domestically, there are strict regulations on product certification and the use of certification marks. For example, there are "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Certification and Accreditation" and "Administrative Measures for Certification Certificates and Certification Marks" in China. Make clear regulations on product service certification and management system certification. In order to protect the rights and interests of consumers, most countries, especially developed countries, have formulated relevant laws to promote the safe production and use of products, especially for areas involving food safety, environmental protection, public health and electronic interference, mandatory certification is required.
