At present, carton packaging is becoming increasingly affluent, and carton processing equipment has become increasingly advanced. This has prompted computer-aided carton design to be widely used in packaging companies. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises feel a bit difficult when using computer for carton design. One of the reasons is that they have not been able to design application software. Today, China Packaging Technology Association gave me an opportunity to introduce a software that is very suitable for carton packaging design - CorelDRAW. It is very powerful and fully capable of handling complex carton designs. Compared with other graphic designs The software has greater advantages in carton design.
Enterprises in the carton design, the former application of Apple (APPLE) computers are more, now due to the great improvement in the performance of personal computers, has been widely and most of the application PC carton design, because the design of the PC compared to the Mac machine Design system investment is much lower, PC design software has become more and more abundant, and its operating system (WINDOWS) and various application software are relatively easy to use. Recently, in the Hangzhou area, there are many software applications in carton design: Photoshop, Illustrator, Pagemaker, and CorelDRAW. Each software has its own advantages, but "CorelDRAW" is a software that is more suitable for carton packaging design.
1. Introduction to "CorelDRAW" Software CorelDRAW, known as a drawing master, is a vector drawing program developed by Corel Corporation of Canada. It has been widely used in advertising design, web page creation and graphic design. Its features are very powerful, the interface is very friendly, and it is very easy to use. The latest software version is CorelDRAW10, especially from CorelDRAW9 (Chinese version). The software integrates several very useful programs: such as PHOTO-PAINT program based on bitmap processing, BAR CARD WIZARD program and descriptive point for barcode editing. The Corel TRACE program, etc., make the carton pre-press design and carton drawing work very easy to complete.
Second, the application of "CorelDRAW9" carton design system requirements (1) hardware requirements â— PC: Pentium200, 64MB RAM (recommended CPU500, 128MB)
â— Laser printer (recommended print resolution 600dpi, A4 format)
â— Scanner (suggested scanning resolution 600dpi, A4 extended format)
â— Color inkjet printer (recommended print resolution 1200dip, A3 format)
â— Burner (optional)
â— MO magneto optical drive (optional)
(2) Software Requirements â— WINDOWS98, WINDOWS2000, WINDOWS NT or WINDOWS ME
â— CorelDRAW8, CorelDRAW9, or CorelDRAW10
â— Chinese and English font library software 3. Installation of CorelDRAW9 CorelDRAW9 has 3 CDs, the first is the installation disk (including the attached fonts), and the second and third are vector and bitmap material CDs.
The entire installation process of CorelDRAW9 is an English interface, and the program operation interface after installation is Chinese. It is recommended to use a fixed installation (or install all components for unfamiliar users) to ensure that the various functions described below are easy to use.
Fourth, "CorelDRAW9" in the carton packaging design commonly used practical features 1. Text layout modeling powerful, think of text can be "artwork text" and "paragraph text" input, can be arbitrary set text font size, length Width, Spacing, Pitch Rotation, Move Positioning, Shadow Stereo, Envelope Effect, Alignment Distribution, and Arrangement along Specific Paths, and most of them can be achieved precisely by mouse dragging interactively or changing attribute values.
2. Easily create or import a variety of packaging logos, logos, logos, carton printing and printing heads are often a variety of packaging and shipping signs and dangerous goods packaging logos, can be easily drawn according to GB/T191 and GB/T190 requirements (Figure 7 omitted), draw each Complex trademarks, logos, and logos are the best of CorelDRAW's and can be easily imported from various graphic libraries or other image processing software such as PHOTOSHOP and ILLUSTRATOR.
3. Easily scan images, bitmap processing can be used from primary users to advanced users can directly scan the image in their software, and can perform some of the primary bitmap processing, such as zoom in and out, move the rotation, placed in the container, color conversion, Displaying a hidden color, etc. To perform advanced processing on the bitmap, simply start its integrated bundled PHOTO-PAINT program, then the general image processing functions can be achieved.
4 to achieve bitmap conversion bitmap, the benefits of a lot of files scanned by the scanner part of the bitmap, you can start its integrated bundled Corel TRACE program to convert from bitmap to vector, the benefits of the conversion :
(1) to achieve unlimited enlargement and reduction of the image without distortion;
(2) The documents are greatly reduced. A file is generally available on a 1.44-inch floppy disk for easy transfer;
(3) Easily output the photosensitive resin plate or use laser engraving rubber plate.
5 grid production simple and practical Carton printing side of the grid often have a grid, in which often fill in the specifications, gross weight, net weight and volume, etc., production, simply click on the grid tool button in the toolbox, enter the ranks in the property bar Numerical values ​​can be dragged with the mouse, and it is easy to change the size, position, and thickness of the grid lines.
6. The barcode can be correctly created, and the BAR CARD WIZARD program integrated with the barcode editing wizard can be easily mastered in the software, so that you do not need to specifically learn the barcode knowledge. Guided by the wizard's next step to help you complete, the barcode wizard supports 18 industry standards or formats that fully meet the carton packaging design needs.
7. Automatic or manual labeling function, which brings great convenience to carton drawing. It can automatically mark the size between any two points. It can also automatically mark the angle. You can also complete the dimension labeling by manually drawing lines and arrows. This function is used by other software. Unable to bring great convenience to cartons.
8. The printing function is very powerful. It is very practical in the carton packaging design. When printing, it can be used to zoom and move the graphic without affecting the original design file. For the large format design draft, the mosaic page function can be used to output the actual ratio of 1:1. After splicing by hand, it can be used to make a rubber plate, or combine several pages of graphic and text into a single page of printout. It can also be output in color synthesis or output in CMYK four-color color separation mode, as well as inverting or mirroring output. And other practical features.
The above are just some of the functions that CorelDRAW commonly uses in carton packaging design. In fact, its built-in features are far more than these. As long as you fully use your imagination, you can achieve your intentions.
Fifth, the application of "CorelDRAW9" carton design steps 1. First 1:1 ratio to complete the color draft or black and white draft design.
2. According to the actual size of the print output, you can use to manually engrave the rubber plate; or convert the design draft file into a file of other formats (such as the Mongolian engraving software, etc.), and connect the computer to the laser engraving machine to carry out machine engraving. Eraser printing plate; You can also make the photosensitive resin plate yourself or give it to the plate making center.
3. Carton development patterns and three-dimensional drawings, and mark the processing dimensions, and then reduce the design of the previous design to a certain proportion of the placement of the pattern. (Hangzhou Yueya Lake Paper Packing Plant Chen Xiliang)
