Tailored Shaped Corrugated Boxes

With the increasing use of corrugated boxes in recent years, more and more industries are involved. Its function is not a simple package of the product, and more and more cardboard boxes users have put forward higher requirements on their functions. At present, there are a lot of informal carton packaging in the market, we call it shaped box. The fields they design are very extensive. Household appliances, food, and general merchandise are everywhere, with different types of boxes. Such a package is not only convenient and practical, but also attracts the attention of consumers because of its various shapes.

For the majority of users, many have already tried such packaging. What are the requirements for the design of these special-shaped boxes? How do they see this new type of packaging? Is there any problem with the current use? Let's listen together to what the user is saying.

Huading Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.

Huading Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the research and development of computer systems and computer peripheral products company, the company's 3c products and computer motherboards and other products are all using special-shaped corrugated boxes for packaging. The company's Mr. Li told reporters that the use of special-shaped box packaging for Huading's products is very common. When doing special-shaped box packaging design will be based on the needs of the packaging products to be designed, such as the user's convenience, the convenience of the production of cartons, the protection of the product and whether the production of cartons meet the exporting country's laws and regulations, etc. . Similar to ordinary cartons, special-shaped cartons also need to be tested in the early stages. If the test results meet certain requirements, the company can place orders for large-scale production.

In contact with the design of so many special-shaped boxes, Mr. Li summarized his experience: In fact, although the shaped boxes on the market today have many different shapes, as long as the users research and develop together with the carton companies, the design of the exterior is basically the same. no problem. It is worth noting that the special-shaped box has a unique feature, which is the carton liner inside it. Because, the design of these pads is to design the buffer according to the different characteristics of the product, this is a little difficult, consider more things, and is also closely related to the external packaging. How to use the least amount of materials, the highest space occupancy rate, and the buffering effect are all issues that users need to consider when designing.

In addition to some of the requirements for conventional items to use special-shaped packaging, there is more attention on the packaging of some precision devices, such as the camera lens. As we all know, the main production material of the camera's lens is glass. And glass is the most easily broken. Therefore, generally for such a product, it is necessary to consider shockproof and pressure-resisting on the packaging. Businesses are afraid that the goods inside will be damaged during transportation. This will bring them some losses.

The company that specializes in the production of camera equipment for interviews will use special packaging to act on the lens of the camera. The person in charge of the company, Ms. Mei, introduced that this special-shaped box of lenses looks like an ordinary square-shaped small carton from the outside. The bottom of the box is buckled and the lid is designed as a flap. When the lid was opened, it was found that a paper holder was designed to hold the lens at the bottom. In addition, a cover was placed on the top of the lens. After the cover was buckled, the lens can be protected. The role. The four outer surfaces of the carton are not in direct contact with the lens so placed inside. The design of the entire carton is made by folding a sheet of cardboard and folding it, including the interior design. The special place for this box is that it does not add any cushioning material inside. This design uses E cardboard,

For this more special shaped box design, Ms. Mei said that the purpose is to facilitate the collection of packaging, compared with other shapes of the box to save space. Because the camera lens is lighter, it must be well protected on the packaging. The design of this special-shaped corrugated carton is very suitable for the packaging of this product, and it has a very good cushioning effect and protection function.

At the same time, this box type of stress test and drop test are tested by the company itself. Drop test is based on international standards, select the weight of the package to get the corresponding drop height; and stress testing is also based on this standard. Ms. Mei believes that the special-shaped box packaging is very practical, it can meet the needs of users. The scope of the box is very wide, such as Mp3, mouse and other computer related configuration products are used to protect relatively strong packaging. There are also some green products that require the use of special-shaped corrugated cartons. On the other hand, due to the convenience of exporting, many green packaging requirements for products exported to Europe are more stringent. There are a lot of packages that use shaped boxes to facilitate recycling.

During the interview, the majority of users expressed great concern about the special-shaped box. In the evaluation of these boxes, there are also some opposing views. However, we must say that the submission of these opinions is also worthy of our collective attention.

Midea Environmental Electrical Appliance Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Midea Environmental Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a company that mainly produces small white household appliances such as electric fans, electric heaters, ventilation fans, refreshers and vacuum cleaners. In the small home appliance industry, it has its own well-known brand, MIDEA, which is loved by consumers and has a high market share. It is understood that the company’s company previously used a handle design on its flagship product, the electric fan, but at present, the company has basically not produced such a designed box. What kind of considerations can make this big company make such a decision? The reporter interviewed Mr. Li of the company's product R&D department. He has unique insights into the development of special-shaped boxes.

In the early days of the company's establishment, many packaging designs with handles were used, such as a flat handle on the side of the handle, a flat handle on the lower side of the upper insert, a plastic handle on the lower flat of the upper insert, a flat handle on the upper and lower sides, and an upper and lower handle. The side handles, the upper side of the lower mouth, the lower side handle, the lower mouth of the upper mouth, the dark handle, and so on. However, with the exception of certain Japanese and Korean customers' requirements, they are basically not packaged with handle structures.

The use of these handle designs on electric fans was primarily concerned with portability, so three types of handles were designed with side handles, dark handles, and plastic handles. However, there are still some problems in these three designs.

The side handles are mainly used for heavier items and can be carried by two people. However, from an ergonomic point of view, a fan with no more than 10 kilograms does not require two people. If you change to a computer monitor is feasible. Therefore, it is completely useless on the fan. Another reason is that the side handles have a great influence on the compressive strength of the carton, and the domestic transportation environment (car transport) is extremely bad. In addition, the quality of the carton itself is not stable, and if the handle is opened again, the impact may be easily caused. damage. Therefore, the company’s marketing personnel no longer require the use of a side handle design based on the market and various considerations, and this section is basically eliminated.

Dark handles, mainly for lighter items, can be picked up by hand. This requires that the cardboard used in the packaging is strong enough not to tear the cardboard due to picking up.

The plastic handle is similar to the dark handle, and is mainly used for lighter items. It can be picked up by hand. It also needs a strong cardboard box. It will not cause cardboard tearing when the cardboard box is picked up. However, this design is not like the first two, and plastic handles are also required in addition to the direct cutting on the carton, which increases the cost.

Although, from the design point of view, dark handles and plastic handles are relatively successful. However, in practical applications, great problems have been discovered - neither dark handles nor plastic handles can be used for heavier fans. In particular, floor fans, such as heavier (about 5 kg) floor fans, often lead to problems. The hands were detached from the carton, causing the carton to be torn from the handle, which in turn caused inconvenience to the customer and caused a bad influence on the company.

The company did a careful analysis and found that virtually none of the dark handles and plastic handles were designed to be universal on all types of fans. Therefore, only certain Japanese and South Korean customers use handles, and domestic and European Union, the Americas, etc. are basically not used. In the same way, the company also thought of using a special-shaped corrugated box to make the cushion, but there are requirements for the type of corrugated file, so it is basically not used.

Regarding the prospect of shaped corrugated boxes, Mr. Li expressed his personal opinion that the development of special-shaped boxes is more suitable for products that are not very strict with the cost requirements and that are highly demanding on aesthetics, but not for the lower-priced products with large quantities. Suitable for. However, with the development of transportation packaging in the direction of sales packaging, the requirements for aesthetics are getting higher and higher. It is believed that more and more shaped corrugated boxes should be adopted.

Conclusion

In the interview, we found that there are indeed many users using the special-shaped box, and its emergence also brings many benefits to the user, but there are still some problems there. The most important thing in design is to conform to the packaged product, and you should not blindly pursue the beauty of your appearance. In this way, we can create a box that everyone can satisfy.

supplement

Shaped corrugated box refers to the box type with more complex shape, appearance and structural design. On the box-type unfolding chart, there are often non-linear components, which are not parallel to or perpendicular to the carton cutting and indentation direction. They are generally not directly applicable. Rotary equipment for processing requires the use of a die cutter.

Design requirements: The structure is embodied in the word "different". Need to design functional structures (such as handles, hand holes or vents, automatic folding carton adhesive blades, etc.), feature structures (such as cut corners, hollows, feet, etc.) and appearance structures (such as non-prismatic, non-planar Structure) and other special structural elements to achieve. It can meet the requirements of a wide range of contemporary packaging styles, attractive appearance, ingenious structures, and varied forms.
