Second, materials (refers to finished materials, such as coated paper and newsprint for books; Cardboard, corrugated paper, copy paper, grey board paper, metal, wood, cloth, etc. Used for packaging; Lamp cloth, lamp sheet, adhesive and all kinds of domestic or imported special paper for inkjet printing design)
Three, the finished product size (net size, mold drawing size)
Iv. Process (1, printing process, such as four-color printing, spot color printing, screen printing, ink-jet printing, etc. ; 2. Post-treatment technology, such as hanging pulp and pressing film. )

Design concept:
The beautiful snow scene in the north always attracts countless photographers. It is everyone's inner desire to keep beautiful moments.

Folding packaging box development diagram:
1, up and down or so, six fundamentals.
2. Add folding wings above the upper top surface and below the lower top surface;
3. Add upper and lower dust wings on the left and right surfaces.
4. Add a sticky wing on the left side of the back.
5. Upper top surface height = lower top surface height = left width = right width.
6. The height of the dust wing is less than or equal to 1/2 of the width of the top surface.
7. Except for up, down, left, right, front and back, other auxiliary surfaces can be simply drawn as trapezoid.
8. The folding line is a dotted line;
9. The picture on the upper surface should be rotated 90 degrees vertically.
The drawing of the mold line is completed on the basis of the developed drawing. In fact, it is to draw the dimension line and folding dotted line of the actual finished product on a layout with bleeding position (no need to fill in the color).
Tool line setting: the dotted line is a broken line and the solid line is the tangent of the die.
Bleeding: Bleeding is 3-5 mm outside the tangent of the die.
2. Die drawing without deflation position
3. Finished product drawing without deflation position
How to use PS to make the expansion diagram of the packaging box and PS to make the carton template;
First, draw a three-dimensional shape of a carton as the basic template, then open the plane carton design, use the rectangular tool to select the selection area that needs to be changed, copy the background layer, drag it into the file of the basic template, and click Edit in the toolbar->; Transform->; After deformation and adjustment, the other sides of the carton are treated in the same way. The handle and opening of the new layer can be drawn with the pen tool, which can be completed.
Note that there is a sense of hierarchy, and it can be used as a template after it is done.
How to make the packing box and draw the template by hand?
Cut the template along the solid line and then fold it along the dotted line.
Carefully fold and press the top of the box along the dotted line.
Cut out small colored square pieces of paper.
Put the box on the small color block, then put the yogurt in the box, and then stick it with a glue stick to seal it. Finally, you can paste the center area of the top of the carton with colored paper strips.
