Optimized structure design of the folding carton

The optimization structure design of the folding carton can be start with its economic, protective and convenience features. The data shows that packaging waste increased on a rate of 10% per year, showing the increasingly serious environmental problems caused by packaging, so reduce packaging are necessary no matter for folding carton manufacturers or the whole packaging industry and even the society.

During the structural design of folding carton, a basic principle is the premise of ensuring the basic functions of the folding carton, to minimize the amount of cardboard. It is more common to consider the amount of savings of folding carton paperboard from the point view of step and repeat. The same three-dimensional structure of folding cartons, cardboard area, but in a different structural design terms, the step and repeat folding carton quantities are different when the folding carton formed in the same format of cardboard.

Strength is an essential element of the packaging, but also the embodiment of packaging protective feature. Folding cartons are generally used for lighter packaging digital presses, but its strength is equally important. The selection of micro-corrugated board for raw materials can increase the buffer performance.If the printing packaging use a folding cardboard as raw materials, and contain multiple fragile products inside, the partitions have a good cushioning effect and will not increase the cost too much.

The convenient structure design of folding carton include the convenience of the automated production, ease of use and recycling. There's no problem for the folding cartons in hand-proofing, in accordance with the general structure of drawing, cutting, and then manually folded, but in the fully automatic production line, there will be problem for mechanical handle, so it should open a gap beside the dust flap for mechanism to control the folding carton boxes, fully automated production of packaging.

The boxes consumers saw are three-dimensional molding of folding cartons, in fact, in addition to a small number of special-shaped, or unable to achieve automatic production of folding cartons, most of them in the flat state bonding of the tablet. The state will generally experience counting, stacking, packing, storage, transportation and other sectors.To achieve the flat state must design a operating line for folding carton. The operating line need to fold 180 ° indentation line, or crease line when forming folding carton was tablet-like fold in the folding carton bonding process automatically. It is an important element in the structural design of folding cartons, for tubular folding cartons, non-tube or tray box design. The design principles of the operating line is: folding cartons in the molding process is the most simple, automatic folder glue and convenient gluer operations. The general folding carton can take advantage of the molding line as the operating line.

One of the basic functions of packaging is easy to use, you should consider whether the people's habits and use of the convenient use in the design of folding carton structure, that is to consider ergonomics.Packaging to meet basic performance, should try to make it light saving, easy to open, comfortable, convenient and safe.

Recycling is also an important part of green packaging. Whether or not to facilitate the recovery is an important symbol of environmentally friendly packaging. Folding cartons should be conducive to recovery, it mainly refers to the recovery does not take up too much space, convenient to flatten.It is easy to open the lock structure to make the folding carton into flat status.
