In recent years, the demand for advanced functionality in packaging boxes has significantly increased. Modern packaging solutions are no longer just about containment; they must serve multiple purposes such as protection, convenience, and sustainability. The design of a box’s structure and dimensions plays a crucial role in meeting these demands. Therefore, understanding how to create an optimal box type and size based on established standards is essential for both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
As various industries continue to rely more on packaging boxes, user expectations have also risen. In particular, the structural design of cartons—especially when it comes to container shipping and shelf storage—must be carefully considered. A well-designed box with the right size, shape, and material not only reduces costs but also ensures that products remain protected during long-distance transportation. This makes the importance of proper structural and dimensional design even more critical.
The first step in designing a packaging box is to determine the product's nature and type. Once the box type is decided, the next step involves calculating the dimensions of each component accurately.
(a) Internationally, there are two main categories of carton box types. One is the international standard developed by the International Packaging Board Association, in collaboration with the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) and the Swiss Cardboard Association (ASSCO). These standards use a 4- to 8-digit numerical code to identify different box types, allowing for a clear classification of structures. Each standard box type may have variations, known as modifications, which are indicated by specific suffix codes. These codes help manufacturers distinguish between different versions of the same box type. For example, the commonly used Type 02 carton, also known as a slotted carton, is made from a single sheet of cardboard and features upper and lower flaps that can be closed using staples, adhesives, or tape. The length of the joint typically ranges from 25 mm to 45 mm, depending on the board thickness. Some Type 02 boxes also include a bottom insert to prevent leakage. These boxes are flat during transport and are widely used due to their simplicity and effectiveness.
(b) In China, the national standard GB/T 6543-2008, titled "Single and Double Transport Packaging Boxes," has been established by referencing international standards. This standard outlines the basic box types for single and double packaging boxes used in transport, ensuring consistency and quality across the industry.
By following these standards and considering the specific needs of the product, manufacturers can create efficient, functional, and sustainable packaging solutions that meet the growing demands of today’s market.
