Today, we will give you a brief introduction to the process and precautions of cosmetics packaging box customization, hoping to help you.

1. To communicate with client

First of all, designers need to fully communicate with customers, understand the characteristics of the product, the target market and the orientation of consumer groups, only clear this information, in order to design products that meet the market demand.

2. To create a new conception

After fully understanding the needs of customers, it is necessary to organize a team to brainstorm and form a unique packaging design scheme, which mainly needs to consider the shape and structure of the packaging box, material color, size and other factors.

3. To make a sample

Based on the preliminary requirements analysis and creative ideas, make detailed design documents (including all the details mentioned above), and the most important thing is to conform to the design concept of the brand. After designing the document and confirming the document, it is necessary to make the plate first (four-color printing is four screen plates, a spot color is a spot color plate, the number of spot colors is more than the number of plates). Using the creative method of atlas tree, analyze the specific design of packaging design, including process, visual elements, materials, super symbols and so on. Then send the documents to the manufacturer for proofing.

4. Choose the material

First of all to determine the box type and material, at the beginning we need to determine what box type of packaging box, conditional can also be developed by structural engineers a new structure. The material is divided into two large pieces, the material used for structure and the material used for decoration, the structure is generally gray board, density board, electronic fiber board, etc., these materials are moderately soft and hard gray board is more commonly used, density board is generally used for high-end products, density board is relatively hard and not easy to deformation, electronic fiber board will not be affected by moisture and the environment.

Decorative materials General paper, generally need to print color patterns are used to make face paper, you can also use special paper to do decoration, paper special paper can choose different paper corresponding to different surface printing and surface treatment. The decorative material can also be made of leather, which can highlight the high-end and luxury of the product.

5. Listen to client opinion and modify

The customer will review the proofing results, confirm that they are correct and proceed to the next step, and modify them if necessary.

6. Mass production

6.1 Printing

Printing is the first and crucial step in the production stage, usually using offset (color printing) technology. In the offset printing process, ink is applied to the plate on which the image is engraved and then transferred to the substrate through a roller called a rubber blanket. This technique offers several advantages, including better ink image transfer, and is one of the most common forms of commercial printing.

6.2 Treatment process

After the end of the printing step, it is necessary to carry out the surface treatment process, including the film coating process and the polishing oil process, which can increase the high-end and exquisite degree of the packaging product.

6.3. Die cutting and folding

The final step in production is to die cut and fold. Die cutting is the necessary process before folding paste box, through the design of the box structure to determine the knife plate, die cutting with the knife plate to confirm the position and corner line, remove the useless corners, and then you can fold paste box. (This step requires careful alignment of the line position, if it is not aligned, it is a substandard product).

6. Quality inspection

After the end of the production phase, the quality of the boxes produced is checked to ensure that each box meets the quality standards.

7. Pack and ship

The qualified packaging boxes are packed and ready to be shipped. This process involves careful selection and packaging of each item, ensuring they meet our high standards for quality and safety.

8. Market feedback and improvement

Finally, the effectiveness of the packaging design is evaluated through market research and user feedback, and necessary improvements can be made based on the feedback.
