For a professional custom paper box printing and packaging manufacturer, size is an absolute detail that cannot be ambiguous. In the process of customizing paper box printing, there will be many details related to size. If the size of the product determines how we design the size of the paper box, what kind of inner support should be used to protect the product, and the corresponding box size needs to be adjusted. There are also relevant normative requirements for the size specifications of various markings in printing documents, as well as the size application specifications of various processes during the customization of paper boxes, such as hot stamping, partial UV, etc. If designers do not understand these normative requirements, they will overlook these size issues in the design process of customized paper box printing. As a result, continuous modifications in the later stage greatly wasted valuable time. Some unprofessional printing and packaging manufacturers print large quantities of customized paper boxes without providing reasonable advice, and only discover significant errors when these boxes reach customers, even causing the entire batch of packaging boxes to be scrapped. This is a result that no one can afford, not only losing time and money, but also causing customers' products to miss the best selling time.
The size design of bottle stickers needs to take into account the size and shape of the bottle body to ensure that the stickers can perfectly cover the bottle body, while also considering the edge treatment and aesthetics of the stickers. Specifically, the size calculation of bottle stickers can refer to the following steps or principles
Introduction to Basic Knowledge of Label Materials
There are also various materials for adhesive labels, including paper substrates such as laminated paper, copperplate paper, glass cardboard, and film substrates such as transparent polyethylene (PVC), polyester (PET), polypropylene (PP), etc. Choosing appropriate materials and sizes can meet different application needs.
Adding paper labels to products can help consumers quickly identify the products they want among a wide range of products. For example, labels on food packaging can clearly display important information such as production date and shelf life, helping consumers understand product information and better protect consumer rights.
Three situations for measuring label size
A size of 5.8mm is reserved, and it can also be reserved from a designer's aesthetic perspective. Generally, the larger the reservation, the easier it is for the factory to operate!
Packaging label size: 5-8mm labels are reserved above and below the bottle body area, and there are machine labels and manual labels available. Due to slight differences in each operation, this size reservation is suitable for most factories.
The calculation method for the printing range of a screen printing machine needs to consider multiple factors, including screen size, screen machine movement distance from the printed object size, etc. If the calculation is not accurate, it will affect the printing effect and efficiency. Therefore, when operating the screen printing machine, it is necessary to carefully calculate and strictly follow the calculation results.
1. It is necessary to determine the design dimensions of the silk screen pattern, namely the length and width of the x-axis and y-axis set in the design drawing.
2. It is necessary to determine the mesh size of the silk screen (i.e. the distance between the mesh lines) in inches or millimeters. 3. Convert the mesh size of the screen to pixel values, which are the distances between each mesh line on the screen, for calculation purposes. It can be calculated based on the resolution of the screen printing machine and the actual size of the screen.
The distance between the silk screen frame and the inner edge of the pins: In electronic packaging, the distance between the silk screen frame and the inner edge of the lead should be greater than or equal to 10mm, and the recommended wire text is 6mil. This is particularly important for packaging SOP and other side pins, and the length boundary should be taken as the non pin boundary of the IC.
10mm can accommodate most factory machines. If you feel that the remaining space of 10mm is too small, you can reserve 5-6 millimeters first. We can make the manuscript first and then communicate with the manufacturer to see if it can be printed,
Screen printing refers to the use of screen as a substrate and the use of photosensitive plate making methods to produce screen printing plates with graphics and text. Screen printing consists of five main elements: screen printing plate, scraper, ink, printing table, and substrate. The basic principle of printing is that the mesh holes in the graphic and textual parts of the screen printing plate can pass through ink, while the mesh holes in the non graphic and textual parts cannot pass through ink.
The reservation for silk screen printing is similar to the calculation method for bottle labels. Silk screen printing mainly prints designs with relatively simple colors and less content. If the colors are too complex for silk screen printing, label printing will be chosen.
Screen printing size calculation:
It is best to reserve 10 millimeters in the bottle body area, and some manufacturers can achieve 5-8 millimeters or even smaller depending on the accuracy of the machine used.
