As blister packaging is used more and more frequently, customers have put forward new requirements regarding product packaging. How should we design blister packaging? This is a problem that plagues many designers. Today, the editor will summarize for everyone the standards and principles that should be followed in the design of blister packaging, so that the resulting packaging meets the required standards. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to the design specifications along with explanations. http://www.vsprint.cn/uploadfile/2012/0522/93011337670250.JPG 1 The design shall meet the customer’s requirements: All packaging plans must satisfy the customer’s demands; no changes should be made without the customer’s consent. If there are any doubts regarding the customer’s requirements, it is possible to discuss them with the customer so that they can make a decision. 2 has the smallest volume: To reduce transportation costs and ensure portability and ease of handling, packaging design must take into account methods that result in the smallest possible package volume. For example, when using blister packs, if they are stacked in the same direction, the volume is 1 ； If placed in the reverse half, the total volume might shrink to 2/3 ； 3. The products should be easy to load and unload. When planning the packaging, it is necessary to consider how easy it will be for workers to pack and unpack the items; poor design choices can make the process difficult for workers. For example, if bubble wrap is used and its size matches that of the product, it will be hard to put the product in or take it out. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the size of the bubble wrap by 10–20% ； 4 Packaging Safety: When planning packaging, it is necessary to give thorough consideration to the safety of the packaging materials in terms of protecting the product, so that the packaging does not fail due to normal factors such as transportation, vibration, and handling. For example: The main cartoon should use materials with a value higher than B=B; larger-sized main cartoons necessarily require B≡B materials ； The packaging of goods such as electrical appliances and instruments should use foam material to provide shock absorption and stability, thereby preventing the electronic components inside from being damaged due to excessive external forces ； When using blister packaging, the surface of the blister should be protected with tissue paper to prevent scratches on it ； Regarding the requirement for high surface finish, the surfaces of high-end products need to be protected with a protective coating (such as glass surfaces, transparent lens surfaces, and hardware surfaces that are prone to scratching) ； When planning the packaging for toy products, it is not appropriate to use sharp items such as staplers to attach the cartoon elements together; instead, glue should be used to avoid causing harm to children ； 5 Ensure that the weight and quantity of the designed products are appropriate; generally, the total weight of a cartoon box should be under 20 kg, to ensure it can be handled by porters. The physical size should also be such that it can be carried by an average person; it shouldn’t be too large. The number of items per carton is usually a multiple of six, such as 6, 12, 24, 48, etc., or it can be an integer like 10, 20, 50, etc., to facilitate calculation ； 6 The center of gravity of the designed product should be as low as possible. When planning the packaging, it is necessary to keep the center of gravity of the product as low as possible to enhance stability; likewise, the center of gravity of the main container should also be kept as low as possible. Under normal circumstances, the length and width dimensions of the main box should both be greater than its height dimension ； 7. Design products with the lowest cost. When planning packaging, it is necessary to minimize costs while ensuring optimal performance. For example, if B-B can be used under acceptable conditions, there is no need to use B=B, as its price is higher. At the same time, try to reduce the use of egg cartons, pallets, white boxes, and floor boxes. The dimensional scale of the cartoon characters needs to match that of shipping containers (40-foot containers: 11.8×2.3×2.3 meters; 20-foot containers: 5.8×2.3×2.3 meters), in order to avoid excessive unused space in the height, width, and length directions of the containers, which would increase transportation costs. When planning the packaging for shipments in a single batch, it is necessary to consider whether the goods can be fully packed within a 20-foot or 40-foot container; if there is some leftover space, an additional container will be required, which increases the shipping costs. The above are the design guidelines that should be followed when designing packaging for blister products, as outlined by the editor. In practice, it is not possible to take all these factors into account, so when designing, we need to prioritize them accordingly to create satisfactory packaging designs for blister products.
