Corrugated carton packaging appropriate - solution

Corrugated cardboard boxes adapted to packaging solutions

See examples of modest packaging of corrugated boxes to see how to suppress excessive packaging.

Carton reduction and convenient packaging

When designing, attention should be paid to the opening and closing of the packing box, folding and stacking in the form of a flat plate, and the whole is convenient for combination operation; the portable part is firm and durable; the volume in the transportation process is as small as possible, which can reduce the cost and improve the transportation efficiency.

The design of the packaging structure is simple and reasonable, which is conducive to folding, opening and closing, folding and storage, for example, the design of various convenient cartons. Easy to open the box and easy to handle.

low cost. Convenient packaging uses less raw materials and can be made from recycled paperboard to make simple cartons and cartons. From a long-term point of view, we must design packaging around the purpose of environmental protection, and it is also a plan for the human ecosystem. We should try our best not to over-acquire and waste resources. Fine packaging is needed in life, but convenient packaging is also indispensable in life. The two are not contradictory. Convenient packaging can not only reduce costs, but also protect the environment. The use of simple design and low-cost design is appropriate. It is a change in the concept of consumption, and it is also the development of market circulation. Packaging design is to guide and lead people in this situation. consumption.

Many countries in the world are advocating "moderate" packaging, reducing packaging as an important measure to achieve green packaging, this new idea is also called "green design." The reduction in packaging awareness has been strengthened, and reductions in packaging have resulted in a reduction in waste, which is the preferred approach for green packaging. This awareness has been strengthened in China in recent years, and many reduced packaging products have been designed, such as improving the performance of materials, enabling bottled containers to increase strength while being thin-walled and lightweight. Double-arch composite cardboard is used to ensure the strength of the carton. At the same time, the thickness of the paperboard is reduced by 30%; in another example, for the transportation package of many products, the amount of material is greatly saved by improving the packaging structure and the cushioning pad design.

Modest packaging can enhance the added value of corporate brands. In order to advocate “appropriate packaging” and oppose various forms of “over-packaging” behavior, packaging should be rationalized, reduced, and protected on the premise of protection of commodities, circulation, use, beautification of goods, and promotion of sales. , protect the environment and accelerate the establishment of a resource-saving society.

For this reason, moderate packaging refers to a reasonable and appropriate packaging. Namely: The packaging material is suitable, the protection function is proper, the volumetric capacity is appropriate, the packaging cost is reasonable, and the identification label is accurate.

The principle of low weight, high strength and light weight

Low-weight, high-strength lightweight paper provides new solutions for “moderate packaging”. There are several views in the industry for "lightweight base papers". One view is that it is a trend change in the global carton industry. That is, when paper is selected, the paper's quantification is getting lower and lower; another view is that it is lightweight. There is a definite hard index, "weight at least 150 grams or less;" There is a more general view that the paper quantitative should be between 100-180g/m2, and there are clear requirements for the base paper of the ring pressure strength, fracture length and other indicators .

The practical experience of many companies shows that the application of low-weight, high-strength base paper can not only ensure the compressive strength of the carton, but also reduce the amount of raw paper, improve the unit paper out of the box rate, reduce the cost of the carton, so especially by the terminal companies The user's favor. Through the change of the box design, the five-story box into a three-tier box, etc., can effectively reduce the packaging cost of 5% -15%. Saving paper consumption also saves storage space. Considering that the price of paperboard paper and liner paper market is significantly higher than that of core paper and corrugated paper, the weight of paperboard and paperboard should be properly reduced, and the weight of paperboard and corrugated paper should be increased to reduce the cost of paperboard and improve the resistance of paperboard. Degree of performance indicators such as the purpose. For carton enterprises that manufacture home appliance packaging, to minimize the weight of the base paper while ensuring the quality of the carton, it is possible to win both orders from customers and reduce product costs.

The advantages of fine corrugated

As the fine corrugated packaging has the advantages of high compressive strength, exquisite printing, etc., it has been recognized by users and the usage has been steadily increasing. Nowadays, there are many domestic enterprises that use E楞. For example, Siemens and other large companies have already put forward requirements for using finer and more small files such as G楞.

Micro-tank packaging saves 20% of the cost Compared with solid cardboard, low-weight, high-strength micro-corrugated cardboard boxes have better cost-effectiveness, thus making packaging costs more economical and reasonable. Under the same conditions of use, micro-crucible packaging has low weight and meets the current trend of “lightweight” packaging.

Compressive and breaking performance is more prominent in reducing costs at the same time, the fine corrugated packaging also ensures superior performance in all aspects of the carton. Compared to large-size packages such as B-type, micro-corrugated packages have lower cassette heights, more unit area turns, denser cassettes and stronger structures, so when using the same base paper and the same pressure, it In the parallel pressure of the pressure strength and slowness; in the ability and other advantages are more obvious, such as the E box packaging rupture strength can reach 11kQ/cm2. The paper packaging capacity of general paper products is at least 7-8 times the weight of the package.

Reuse of packaging waste

The reuse of packaging waste also plays a significant role. The use of waste corrugated cardboard, cornerboards, etc., through the addition of TT sequence (mainly for pasting, cutting and forming) force BT into package seats, liners, jackets, etc., instead of EPS foam, with its low cost, excellent results and other characteristics become The new highlights of reducing packaging costs have achieved a further drop in packaging costs while improving the quality of packaging.

The United States, Japan, and other industrialized countries have vigorously advocated "moderate packaging" and reduced "excessive packaging" in the packaging of goods. Many large companies use packaging reduction as the goal of their own work. For example, Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd. requested to reduce EPS slowdown within 3 years; China is also actively developing substitutes for foaming agents and uses natural cellulose, lignin, etc. as raw materials instead of EPS to research and develop the structure of pulp reinforcements and corrugated boards to increase the strength of packaging paper and board and reduce the use of cardboard. Thickness, thus reducing packaging.

Corrugated carton optimization design

Qingdao Hisense optimized the design of the corrugated packaging box of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and retained the function of fixing and protecting the middle part, simplifying the side impact of the protective product. The new corrugated packaging box design can reduce the amount of corrugated paper by nearly 60%-70%. Not only reduces the material cost of corrugated board, but also promotes all aspects of product circulation, all parties concerned, relevant personnel to regulate their own work and management standards, in particular, can reduce the rough handling. The reduction of corrugated board usage is very important for the current environmental protection. China produces nearly 20 million sets of split air conditioners each year. If we can avoid excessive packaging, only this single product can reduce nearly 32,000 tons of corrugated board consumption each year.

Through the redesign of packaging and the research and development of new materials, Skyworth Group has adopted a self-developed combination of corrugated cardboard and honeycomb paperboard to reduce its own packaging costs by 20%. TCL has begun to make improvements to the carton design, which has reduced the cost by about 10% after improvements have been made to the paper type, grammage, box type and liner material.

Reduce the cost of carton sales and packaging: For example, one-piece E-shell shells, 90% of which are recycled papers, are reduced in weight by 17% to 415 grams. The total pulp savings for a medium-sized carton plant is 8,000 tons per year; due to savings Pulp and E-type corrugated structure, retail packaging box saves 15%. In order to ensure that the carton maintains a consistent appearance and dimensions, the materials required for production are uniformly managed by a single source, resulting in a reduction in the price of the carton by 15%.

Study new packaging methods

Formulated two sets of carton packaging solutions. The first set is the packaging standard, and the content stipulates that the packaging must correctly display the value of the product and provide proper protection to the product during shipping. The second set includes a variety of novel packaging and wrapping methods. Its main content is: (1) packaging. In order to ensure that the product does not become damaged, broken or broken, the package must be waterproof, moisture-proof, dry-proof and shockproof; packaging materials and containers must not endanger human safety. In addition, the use of packaging materials that are difficult to dispose after disposal should be minimized; the volume of the packaging containers should be as small as possible. The space within the containers should not exceed 20% of the product volume; the packaging cost should not exceed 15% of the product selling price. To avoid misleading consumers. (2) Packages. Advocates use the simplest package, or even do not package it at all. Even when the product is shipped, the simplest package method should be adopted.
