The normative matters involved in pre press inspection, printing and packaging products are all customized. Each packaging box is customized in terms of size, printing content, inner tray, and other related matters. Because the requirements for each product are different. So pre press inspection is essential for every customized packaging box printing. For customized paper box packaging printing, pre press inspection determines whether the final product printed on the paper box packaging can meet the designer's requirements and related normative applications. If these issues are not resolved during the pre printing inspection, the resulting printed paper box packaging will become a pile of waste paper. All the huge production costs involved before will be wasted.
Text to Curve is the process of converting text into curves or paths, which is very common in graphic design and layout, especially when sending design files to others or printing. The converted text will lose its properties as a text layer and be transformed into graphics or paths, so that even if the recipient does not have the corresponding font installed, the text in the design can be displayed correctly
In Adobe llkustrator, you can convert text to curves by selecting a text object and executing the Object>Extend command, or by using the shortcut Ct1+Shitt+0.
The purpose and reason for text to music conversion
Compatibility: When specific fonts are used in a design file and the recipient's computer does not have these fonts, there may be issues with missing or replaced fonts when opening the file. Zhuan Qu can ensure that the appearance of text remains consistent in various environments.
Printing requirements: During the printing process, turning the curve can ensure that the appearance of the text will not change due to differences in the printer or printing medium.
Setting bleed in Adobellustrator is an important step in ensuring that printed materials do not have white edges after cutting. Bleeding refers to the part of a printed work where a design element exceeds a certain distance from the cutting line, usually set at 3mm,
The common method for making bleeding positions is to increase the standard size of the bleeding position by 3mm along the actual size by 3mm. This natural enlargement of the 'edge' according to the color within the size is most ideal.
Bleeding setting: 3mmm in each direction. On the set page, the black line frame represents the actual finished size of 210'285mm, and the red line represents the bleeding size of 216 "291mm. The manuscript needs to be designed according to the red box size, but the area outside the black line frame will be cut off.
Common problems and solutions: If the bleeding setting is incorrect, it may cause the printed content to be cropped or white borders to appear. The solution includes rechecking and adjusting the bleeding settings.
1. Open software A. 2. Click on 'File' in the upper left corner. 3. Select 'Insert' from the pop-up list. 4. After selecting the image on the computer, click [Insert]. 5. After placing the image, click on 'Embed' at the top of the software. 6. You can see that the 'Embed' button is grayed out and cannot be clicked, indicating that the image has been successfully embedded.
File stability upgrade: By incorporating linked images into the file, it can effectively prevent file errors caused by changes or loss of image paths, thereby ensuring file stability.
File size control: Embedding images can increase file size, but if necessary, compressing the image during embedding can reduce file size while maintaining image quality.
If embedding is not done, when the factory opens the file, the content is incomplete and a lot of information is lost, resulting in errors in the final printing. Many beginners are often prone to errors!
Most designers make mistakes in this area because they are not sensitive to design and often make changes to the manuscript. After reading it several times, they cannot detect it. At this time, other people need to work together to check. Unlike electronic posters, printed materials often have a large quantity and incalculable losses!
The text inspection and processing in pre press production are also crucial steps to ensure the quality of printed dramas. Pre press inspection is of great significance in avoiding printing quality issues and improving production efficiency. Through pre press inspection, problems in the pre press production process, such as white leakage, can be detected and dealt with in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the quality of the final printed product.
Due to some details that are not easily noticed on the screen, it is necessary to print out the file for inspection before production. Black and white printing inspection, especially suitable for checking design works with a lot of text; Color printing inspection, in addition to checking text, can also check color effects.
The most important difference between these color modes is:
RGB is used for display on electronic screens such as computers, televisions, cameras, smartphones, etc,
CMYK is used for printing (magazines, photos, product packaging, direct clothing, etc.).
The color gamut (color range) of RGB is wider than CMYK.
RGB represents red, green, and blue, and is a color mode for computer screens, televisions, smartphones, and other devices.
The color gamut (color range) of RGB is wider than CMYK, including bright colors, saturated colors, and fluorescent colors. All RGB images must ultimately be converted to CMIK before they can be printed.
CMYK is a color processing technique used for printing, especially for photo realistic images and images with multiple colors. These inks are semi transparent and can produce a range of colors when mixed together. It is based on the CMY model, where cyan, magenta, and yellow are the primary colors.
For printing output files, choosing the appropriate resolution also needs to consider the specific purpose and printing process of the file. For example, the resolution requirement for photo printing is relatively low, usually between 150dpi and 300dpi, while the resolution requirement for printing and printing is even higher, usually reaching 300dpi
When designing and producing printed works, it is particularly important to pay attention to the resolution setting, whether it is images created using Photoshop or files placed in LLLUStrator or CorelDRAW. For images that require high-quality printing, such as photos or illustrations that require fine details, the resolution of the image should be ensured to be at least 300dpi to ensure the clarity and detail representation of the printed product.
Choosing the appropriate printing output file resolution requires consideration of multiple factors, including the color mode used, the aesthetic of the printed material, and the specific printing process and equipment. Ensuring the selection of appropriate resolution can maximize the visual effects and quality of printed works
Printing process labeling refers to marking the specific processes and techniques used in the printing process on printed materials in order for printing factories to produce according to the labeling requirements. Next, let's take a look at the main content and precautions of printing process labeling.
Paper requirements: indicate the type of field used, weight, thickness, and other requirements. The choice of paper directly affects the quality and appearance of printed materials.
Layout requirements: indicate the size, number of pages, folding method, and other requirements of the layout. The design and layout of the layout are crucial for the overall effect of printed materials,
Text and image requirements: Mark the position, size, clarity, and other requirements of the text and image. This is one of the key factors in ensuring accurate communication of printed content.
According to GB 7718-2011 "General Rules for Pre packaged Food Labeling", the theme text (such as food name) on food labels usually uses a font size of 36pt, and the height of the net content text must not be less than 1.8mm. For special products such as health food and solid beverages, there are also special requirements for the font size of relevant warning signs.
Considering product characteristics and target audience: For mass consumer goods, font size should be moderate to ensure readability and attract attention. For high-end products or specific target audiences, unique font sizes can be selected based on brand positioning and style.
Avoid using overly thin fonts: If the font size is too small, it may not print clearly and affect recognition.
The consequences of violating regulations, if the font size on the packaging does not comply with regulations, may result in consumers being unable to recognize or misunderstand product information, thereby affecting the sales and market acceptance of the product. In addition, misleading consumers through font size may result in complaints or penalties.
