What are the key points that must be paid special attention to when designing packaging boxes.
1. Before designing each packaging box, we need to confirm its size. When determining the size of the box, one needs to consider the commonly used materials in the packaging and printing process, which are the paper thickness of the box. Most of them have or do not have corrugations. For those with corrugations, E-tiles are usually used, while for those without corrugations, the printing paper is usually very thick. Therefore, before designing, it is necessary to clarify the thickness of the printing paper, and then adjust the size accordingly. There is no need to design a predetermined size because after printing the paper, the final object cannot fit in.
2. The packaging box is also a type of printed material, so we need to design and layout it in vector software.
3. If the appearance of the box is relatively unique, then everyone must draw the cutting lines and group all the cutting lines together, because the color printing factory makes the mold according to your cutting lines.
4. When designing packaging, after drawing the cutting line, people usually print it out in a 1:1 ratio, simply fold the box, and check if the middle size structure inside the lid and ears is effective.
5. The packaging box is also a printed material, so the photos and graphics used by everyone are in CMYK color mode.
6. The packaging box usually produces the following content.
