Several key points to note in food packaging design!

Different products require different packaging. This is a characteristic of packaging products, and the same applies to food packaging design, which is unique. The uniqueness of packaging design for any product is applicable to every food production company. In food companies, food packaging design affects consumers' perception of the product, so this must be taken seriously. Packaging design, as an important branch of product design, has always been a field of great attention in the industry. What details should be paid attention to in food packaging design? First, pay attention to the connotation of packaging design This is mainly reflected in three aspects: the appeal of the packaging, the fun of the picture, and the organic combination of product image and culture. In addition, the refinement of packaging is also an indispensable important factor for good packaging, mainly including: the refinement of colors, the refinement of pattern design, and the refinement of packaging production; all three are indispensable. In short, the design of packaging should revolve around a central theme, starting from the whole and thinking from a broad perspective, conforming to the principles of conciseness, individuality, and beauty, and conforming to the characteristics and consumption of the goods. When designing food packaging, it is best to maximize the characteristics of food through the combined application of different design methods, so that consumers can become interested in the food and thus increase their desire to buy the product. Only in this way can food companies promote their products well and give full play to the effectiveness of food packaging products. Second, pay attention to the color of packaging design Color gives a particularly strong impression, so as a designer, you must understand and communicate with colors and express his design ideas through them. As an important constituent element of design, color is also used to convey certain information about product functions. More than 80% of information comes from vision. If the designer's grasp and use of packaging colors can directly reflect certain characteristics of the internal items, the product is likely to become the buyer's first choice. According to the inherent colors or attributes of the goods, using image-based colors is an important means of design coloring. For example, cakes and pastries often use , tea, coffee, whiskey, and beer often use tea-colored, and lemon-flavored food packaging is designed in lemon yellow. This reproduction of the inherent color of the goods in the packaging coloring is most likely to give people an association of the same origin, thus giving a basic impression of the inner items. Of course, there are also phenomena that go against the grain. Some design masters boldly use color contrast to achieve better and more wonderful effects. However, if the proportions are not well grasped, it will backfire.

Food packaging; safety first

The close relationship between food packaging and food is well-known. Food packaging is like the "protective clothing" of food, not only carrying and protecting food, but also facilitating food storage, transportation, and sales. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, food safety issues have gradually become the focus of people's attention, which has also put forward higher requirements for the safety of food packaging, making food packaging companies always put safety first when designing, implementing functions, and conducting safety tests of food packaging. Food packaging design should have innovative design concepts and be reasonably designed according to the positioning of consumers. At the same time, for some special consumer groups, such as children, attention should also be paid to the safety design of food packaging, such as selecting environmentally friendly packaging materials, the packaging structure should be as simple as possible, and it should meet the needs and physical characteristics of children to prevent accidental injuries to children. In addition to innovative and safe design, the realization of food packaging functions is also very important. Especially with the increasing consumer market demand for fresh food, food packaging with preservation functions is gradually becoming popular. Especially for the currently high-demand fresh fruits and vegetables, the successive introduction of modified atmosphere packaging, coating packaging, and antibacterial packaging technologies has provided more guarantees for the safe preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables. In order to further ensure the safety of food packaging, relevant personnel have also done a lot of work in food packaging safety testing. For example, in order to eliminate consumer panic, some researchers have evaluated the potential risks of DEHP in food plastic packaging materials, further improving consumers' understanding of the safety of DEHP. Currently, the state also attaches great importance to food packaging safety and has successively introduced a series of policies and regulations related to food packaging safety. Food packaging enterprises should strengthen their awareness of food packaging safety and establish the concept of "food packaging is equivalent to food" to add an extra lock to food safety.

Advantages of Spout Pouch Packaging

Spout pouches are a type of liquid packaging that replaces rigid packaging with flexible packaging. The structure of a spout pouch is mainly divided into two parts: the spout and the self-supporting pouch. Stand-up pouches are made of multi-layer composite plastic materials to meet the requirements of different food packaging performance and barrier properties. The spout part can be seen as an ordinary bottle mouth with a cap screwed on. The two parts are tightly combined through heat sealing (PE or PP), forming a liquid packaging that is squeezed, sucked, poured or pressed out, which is a very ideal new type of liquid packaging.

9 Classic Box Types - Do You Know Them?

Flip-top Box Flip-top packaging boxes are divided into single-flip and double-flip. The double-flip consists of a base and two covers, while a single-flip has one cover. The double-flip packaging box requires relatively complex craftsmanship. 6. Handle Box The bottom is a slotted box, increasing the load-bearing capacity. The top has a handle design, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble. Adding laminated corrugated paper makes it the most commonly used box type for gift boxes. The biggest feature is that it is easy to carry. 7. Airplane Box When the packaging box is unfolded, it is a whole piece of cut paper. The integrated structure design eliminates the need for gluing the box, saving processing costs, and is often used for express packaging. 8.
