Corrugated carton layout design

Corrugated box manufacturing industry is a service industry, and customer satisfaction is a reliable standard. Therefore, a large part of the printed content of corrugated boxes is produced in accordance with the layout provided by users.

As users, most lack the knowledge of packaging, and many of the requirements are not in line with industry standards. This requires corrugated cardboard boxes to actively guide users and improve the level of layout design. In corrugated carton layout design, the following issues should be highlighted:

1. Printed graphic signs should be standardized

Graphic standard printing quality is not only confined to the auditorium, but the most important thing is to see whether it meets the relevant requirements of national standards or laws and regulations.

The national standards for graphic signs have been formulated: GB191-85 “Marking of Packaging, Storage and Transportation” has specified 10 kinds of corresponding graphic signs, such as careful handling and disabled manual hooks; GB190-85 “Dangerous Goods Packaging Marking” stipulates There are 16 categories of explosives, flammable gases, etc., and the corresponding 18 graphic symbols.

GB5892-86 "Radioactive Energy Sensitive Photographic Materials Transport Packaging Packaging Logo" provides two kinds of printed logo; GB6388-86 "transport packaging, collection and shipping logo" provides 12 kinds of department stores, stationery and other categories Corresponding graphic flags for categories. In these four national standards, the size, color, position, and text of the graphic signs are also specified.

2, layout design should consider the printability

Corrugated box printing is generally up to three-color printing, for the need to overprint corrugated boxes. The layout and size of the layout should be strictly designed so that the color registration is accurate. If other colors are overprinted in one color and no gaps are required between the colors, the accuracy of the company's printing press must be taken into consideration when designing, so that the layouts of the two colors are superimposed and the width of the overlapping portion is the printing deviation of the printing machine. At this time, the order of the printing colors of the printing machines must also be specified. Generally speaking, the hue should be performed in a low-to-high order so that the superimposed portions can cover the hue with a high hue.

In the corrugated carton layout design, in order to avoid printing stencils, in the case of meeting user requirements, as far as possible to make the Yang strokes become thinner, thicken the penis strokes, which increases the spacing between strokes, not easy to cause Printing ambiguity.

3, increase proofreading efforts

The layout of corrugated cartons is often printed in text, which is extremely prone to errors. Once the design layout has not been corrected, the consequences will be unthinkable. Under normal circumstances, the layout error of corrugated boxes is easy to be negligent, often one word or less certain or wrong. When proofreading, one must correct the errata and strictly check it. Otherwise, the entire batch of corrugated cartons will be scrapped due to minor errors. . All production enterprises must pay attention to the proofreading of corrugated carton layouts and must not take it lightly.

4, the overall layout should be reasonable

Most companies do not have a comprehensive understanding of the printing quality of corrugated boxes. To a certain extent, they have neglected the marketability of packaging for beautification, improper choice of fonts, disproportionate proportions, messy layout, and aesthetic effects.

The overall layout of the corrugated box should be reasonable, to prevent top-heavy, font size should be moderate, the proportion of coordination, the appropriate printing location, the edge of the corrugated box is preferably greater than 20mm.
