There are three types of signs on the corrugated box layout: transportation signs, indicative signs and dangerous goods packaging signs. When carrying out layout design, it must be performed in accordance with the prescribed standards. It is not always possible to finalize the drafts by customers. We must actively guide customers and standardize the marks.
The transportation sign, also known as “唛” or “唛头,” is a general term for graphics, letters, numbers, and letters on the packaging of goods. Its main function is to be easily identified in the process of loading, unloading, transportation and warehousing so as to prevent mistakes from being made. It is a proof of commodity identity and the basis of commodity inspection, customs inspection and supervision. Traditional transportation marks include geometric figures, consignee code, reference number, country of origin, destination, volume, weight, and part number. The simplified transportation mark formulated by the UN Economic Commission for Europe includes only four items: the consignee's code, reference number, destination name, and the number of pieces of goods.
Indicative signs
Indicative signs, also known as attention signs or safety signs, are based on the characteristics of goods, and indicate the requirements and precautions for loading, unloading, handling, storage, and storage of some commodities that are easily broken, damaged, and deteriorated. They must be in accordance with national standards GBl91. - Standards specified in 2000 "Packaging, Storage and Transportation Icon Markings" shall be implemented.
Dangerous goods packaging sign
Dangerous goods packaging signs are for flammable, explosive, toxic or radioactive cargoes. They are marked on the outer packaging with noticeable figures and texts to alert the relevant personnel to take care to prevent environmental pollution or personal injury. It shall be implemented in accordance with the National Standard GBl90-90 "Dangerous Goods Packaging Mark" and the "International Maritime Dangerous Goods Mark" formulated by the United Nations Government Maritime Consultative Organization.
Text and letter layout to avoid mistakes
The layout of corrugated cartons is often printed in letters or letters, which is extremely prone to errors. Once the problems in the layout have not been corrected, serious consequences will result. Under normal circumstances, the layout error of corrugated boxes is often overlooked. In the process of text or letter inputting and copying and pasting in the layout design, there is often a phenomenon where one word is missing, one word is missing, and one word is wrong. When proofreading, proofreading must be done one by one. Otherwise, the entire batch of corrugated boxes will be caused by small errors. scrapped. Corrugated cartons companies should pay attention to the proofreading of corrugated carton layouts. They should be responsible for special tasks and must not relax.
In addition, you should avoid text with a small print size, and the font or graphic line design should not be too small, otherwise it will make the printed version appear broken after a certain period of time, the phenomenon of font strokes off. In the case of satisfying the customer's requirements, the Yang strokes are made as thin as possible, and the pen strokes are thickened. This increases the interval between the strokes and does not easily cause the phenomenon of print stencil.
The ink color required in the layout design should have a standard color sample
All ink colors used in layouts must have standard color code guidelines to guide production and verification. Standard color samples are generally divided into two types: one is a customer-supplied sample color sample; the other is to provide a color sample standard number, mainly a Pantone or CMYK number. It is best to print the first color to provide the color sample standard number. After the customer confirms the sample color sample, it is mass-produced, and the confirmed sample color sample is archived so that the same product can be checked later for printing. Uniform colors.
