What are the advantages and disadvantages of folding cartons: In the process of packaging structure design, designers often have to choose different types of cartons according to different needs, the common ones are tubular folding cartons and disc folding cartons. For tubular folding cartons, it is represented by the lock-bottom-lid carton.
The advantages of this type of carton are as follows.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of folding cartons: In the process of packaging structure design, designers often have to choose different types of cartons according to different needs. The common ones are tubular folding cartons and disc folding cartons. For tubular folding cartons, it is represented by a lock bottom lid carton.
The advantages of this carton are as follows.
Die cutting is very simple. Compared with the disc folding carton, the tubular folding carton does not have a large area of side overlap, so there is no need to consider the crease and the edge near the crease line. It should be noted that when designing the bottom, after ensuring that the bottom is locked, there should be enough protruding margin to ensure that the products in the box can be supported. At the same time, it takes less time to fold.
2.
Consumables are less. Compared with the disc folding carton, the tubular folding carton has less surface area under the same volume, so the consumables are relatively less.
3. The difference between the inner and outer dimensions is very small. Since the front, back, left and right sides of the tubular folding carton are mainly connected by latex paste, there is no need to fold and spread the paper to fix it, so the difference between the inner and outer dimensions is very small, usually only 1.5 times the thickness of the paper.
The above are the advantages of tubular folding cartons, but the disadvantage is that the bottom is supported by paper, so the product is easily broken when it is impacted up and down inside. At the same time, this packaging structure is more suitable for packages with similar length and width dimensions. big box. In addition, tubular folding cartons have poor compression resistance and generally cannot be stacked in multiple layers.
The advantages and disadvantages of the disc folding carton and the tubular folding carton are exactly the opposite, and the two are complementary. The representative type of disc folding carton is the airplane box (because it resembles the pattern of an airplane after unfolding), its disadvantages are complex cutting molds, troublesome folding, relatively more consumables, and large differences in internal and external dimensions; the advantage is its bottom support The force is strong, and the product is not easy to break when it moves up and down inside, which also determines its good transportation performance, so many express products use this structure of the packaging box; at the same time, the locking structure on both sides also ensures that the box has a strong Strong compression resistance, suitable for multi-layer stacking. Regardless of whether it is a tubular folding carton or a disc folding carton, the designer must consider its advantages and disadvantages in the process of designing the packaging structure before making a choice; at the same time, it is best to prove and confirm, and conduct packaging test verification many times. At present, there are CNC cutting machines that can provide convenience for designers. No matter how complicated the cutting mold is, as long as the correct cutting mold is drawn, the CNC cutting machine can quickly and accurately produce samples, which shortens the time for packaging design testing and verification.
