The designer need to understand that the nature of the contents, shape, size, weight; the contents of the style of presentation, modes of transport, the stacking form; storage environment, transport routes and time, and carton box manufacturing data information.

The strength issue

The corrugation design is important in the strength design, there has single corrugated and multi-layer corrugated cardboard, each layer there are several corrugation able to pick.

For example, water content of the paper and carton strength has a close relationship. Thus, the color box material selection should consider about the climate condition. The selection of packaging materials should consider the economics and practicality. According to statistics, paper packaging material accounted for 48.5% of the total sales package.
