The ultimate goal in the entire process of custom gift box packaging, from design to material selection to final product presentation, is to achieve a successful production of the entire custom gift box packaging. Here are some introductions to the landing process of customized gift box packaging, so that designers can have a clearer understanding of when they need to make targeted adjustments and combinations.
Suggestions for packaging materials and printing process instructions should consider the transportation process and display effect of the product, and the materials used may not be the same. Based on packaging design requirements, provide material recommendations to reduce the total cost of the product. Add various artistic effects to the packaging process to beautify the packaging and enhance the packaging grade effect.
1. Copy information verification (be careful not to use non-commercial fonts without purchased copyright)
2. Pay attention to some specifications (barcodes, QR codes, industry standards, etc.) (some customers may provide them)
3. Create a printing knife layout
4. Dimensional annotation
5. Process labeling
6. Color labeling (four-color or Pantone color)
7. If there are pictures, they must be embedded
8. File conversion to music (be sure to backup an unconverted file)
Save low version files and send them to customers or printing factories
Safety: Firstly, attention should be paid to whether the packaging material will cause harm to the product. For example, glass or fragile items should be packaged with shatter resistant materials. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the physical and chemical reactions between the product and packaging materials do not cause damage to the product. In addition, consideration should also be given to whether the packaging materials themselves have odors, radioactivity, and other issues, and materials that are harmless or less harmful should be selected
Durability: Durability is one of the important properties of packaging materials, which is related to the properties and application areas of the products to be packaged. For example, perishable foods should be packaged in bags that are moisture-proof, insect proof, and oxidation resistant to ensure the freshness of the food; For heavy machinery, it is necessary to choose packaging materials that are hard, have high load-bearing capacity, and are impact resistant
Before mass production of packaging, it is necessary to conduct sampling and inspection to ensure satisfactory results. Sampling is to preview whether the actual finished product and the design draft are consistent. Some packaging design drafts have good effects, but there may be significant differences in color and actual presentation after the printed product is printed. There is an opportunity for modification and improvement in the proofreading process. It's best to take the car to the shelf for display comparison.
Before starting the sampling process, it is necessary to clarify the various elements of packaging design, including the form, material, color, font, and pattern of the product. These elements directly affect the appearance and practicality of the final product, so they need to be fully considered before sampling.
Size and shape: Size and shape are important factors that determine the aesthetics and quality of packaging. When making samples, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of size and shape to meet the packaging requirements of the product!
Selection of raw materials: Choose suitable materials according to the specific requirements of sampling, considering the characteristics of compressive strength, moisture resistance, light transmittance, water permeability, etc., while also considering cost, environmental friendliness, and usability!
Communication and feedback: After sampling, it is necessary to communicate with customers, sales personnel, and distributors appropriately, listen to their opinions, and make necessary modifications to ensure that the product can meet market demand!
In mass production, quality is crucial as it directly affects the quality of the final product. This process may involve design confirmation, material selection, process production, final sampling, and mass production, ensuring that every step is strictly carried out in accordance with customer needs and industry standards to ensure the quality of the final product and customer satisfaction!
It is recommended that designers follow the colors on site, otherwise the final cost effect may differ significantly from what was expected. Be sure to communicate more with the colorist to ensure the final effect, and sign on site to confirm that the printed version meets the requirements and is correct.
School color and sampling
Before printing the drama, color calibration and sampling are carried out to adjust the color through actual printing samples, ensuring that the final product's color meets the design requirements.
Choose the appropriate printing material
Different printing materials have different effects on the presentation of colors. Choosing appropriate materials can better showcase the colors in the design.
Color Communication and Training
Strengthen communication with printing factories to ensure they understand the color requirements of the design. At the same time, provide color management training to the design and printing teams to enhance their understanding of color issues.
Post press processing techniques include but are not limited to laminating, hot stamping, polishing, embossing, and die-cutting. These technologies not only enhance the glossiness and durability of printed materials, but also improve the visual appeal of packaging by adding special visual effects such as metallic luster.
Common packaging decoration techniques include: glazing, hot stamping, embossing, lamination, mounting, etc
Surface treatment technology
Surface treatment technology is also an important part of post press processing. Through surface treatment technology, the appearance and quality of printed materials can be improved, enhancing their value and added value. Common surface treatment techniques include lamination, hot stamping, embossing, etc.
Cutting Processing
Post press processing also includes cutting processing. During the printing process, printed materials will form a certain amount of edge margin, which needs to be removed through cutting to achieve the predetermined size and shape of the printed material. Common cutting methods include mechanical cutting and laser cutting. Mechanical cutting is suitable for mass production of printed materials.
In summary, both four-color printing and spot color printing have their different advantages. After we have a clear understanding of the differences between the two, in the design of customized paper box packaging, the implementation of each process from material suggestions, design and production, sampling and landing, mass production, to post printing processing is crucial. Any mistake in any process can cause significant quality problems. Of course, as a custom gift box packaging factory with over 20 years of experience, we are professional in our business, engineering, and production. Throughout the entire process of customizing gift box packaging, we attach great importance to the issue of implementation, and providing customers with the most suitable and satisfactory customized gift box packaging is our greatest vision.
