With the development of modern science and technology, similar products in the commodity market are becoming more and more homogenous, which makes the packaging design of the product an important factor in deciding whether the commodity can win the customers and the market. The packaging design of goods includes structural design and decoration design. The design of good product packaging is the perfect combination of structural design and decoration design, and the final realization of packaging and decoration mainly depends on Advanced packaging and printing technologies.
Due to the limitation of historical conditions, China's packaging and printing industry started relatively late and the overall level is not high. The introduction of computers is currently the top priority for China's packaging and printing industry. At present, China's plate-making and post-press processing equipment is still at the international level in the mid to late 1980s, especially the application of computer technology in the field of packaging and printing is relatively backward, and many packaging and printing companies still use traditional manual design, plate making and processing technology. For example, some companies basically adopt the analogy method when designing the carton box structure, which is often due to the inaccurate size, resulting in waste products when the paste is used. Therefore, packaging still does not have enough strength to impact the international market. In addition, packaging printing has its own particularities and complexity, which makes it more difficult for packaging and printing technology. In addition, due to the different packaging materials, the substrates printed by the packaging are also various, which requires different printing methods, and sometimes a product needs multiple printing methods to complete. This shows that there is a Big difference between packaging printing and general publishing. It is precisely because of these that a fully functional packaging design system for the special requirements of packaging printing should be developed to further promote the technological transformation of the packaging and printing industry in China.
The development of computer technology in the packaging industry started relatively late. It is a far cry from the developed countries, but it is also constantly moving forward and has made some promising results. In recent years, China's scientific research departments and colleges and universities have successively developed some CAD software with better functions and higher practicality in packaging structure, packaging modeling and packaging machinery. These softwares are playing an active role in improving the technological level of China's packaging industry and promoting the development of the packaging industry. In particular, the Founder packaging system developed by Peking University Founder Company is the first professional packaging design system based on the Chinese platform developed by China. The system integrates the carton design and color printing into one, and its function is perfect. If the system is based on the structural features of the packaging carton, it provides flexible and convenient design tools, and the most complete box-shaped database of the types of box collections in China at present, which can be used to facilitate the structural design and drawing of packaging cartons with high quality and high precision. The software has a good openness, can output a common data format, can be combined with a variety of graphic images on different application platforms, flexible and convenient processing of high-quality text, graphics and image information in the packaging plane; interactively Full-page imposition on a computer screen without the need for cumbersome continuous operation; during the production phase, the software can output die-cut data for the packaging carton. The system enables the pre-press graphic design and production to be linked with the post-press processing links organically through a computer, to comprehensively increase the production efficiency of packaging production and manually control the accuracy of packaging production.
With the wide application of computer technology in the packaging field, the requirements for packaging design are getting higher and higher. The computer application system integrated with multi-functionality developed for the packaging industry in the world has been continuously developed, along with computer artificial intelligence and computers. The emergence of advanced network technologies in the packaging industry indicates that the level of application of computer technology in this field is also increasing, and the scope of application is also growing. As China's packaging and printing industry is in the development stage, we should increase the use of this new technology to create a promotion environment. In particular, companies and computer hardware and software developers who are interested in the development of packaging and printing technology must cooperate sincerely and work together to develop a packaging design system that integrates structure, design, and color printing into a wider range of functions and has a better function. Enhance the technical transformation of packaging and printing, and promote the further development of China's packaging and printing industry.
