Since the industrial revolution, global water resources have been polluted and destroyed as never before, which has accelerated the rapid development of the water purifier industry, especially the pure water machine has been widely promoted and applied. The pure water machine is also called a water purifier and a filter. It is a small water treatment equipment that deeply purifies the water. However, in the process of storage, transportation and sales, the pure water machine is easily damaged by external factors, so it is necessary to design a buffer structure with good performance to protect it.
At present, most of the pure water machines on the market use foam as a cushioning material, and although the foam material has good cushioning performance, light weight and low production cost, it is flammable, releases toxic gas after combustion, and has a large volume after molding. higher cost. In addition, China has established regulations to restrict the production of foam plastic products, which requires companies to look for green materials instead of foam materials. Corrugated board is widely used due to its excellent processing performance, good cushioning performance and environmentally friendly recycling. Moreover, the packaging cost and transportation cost of corrugated board are lower, which is the most economical and environmentally friendly alternative to foam.
At the same time, with the rapid development of Internet technology, the rapid popularity of online shopping methods, the network sales of pure water machines are more and more common, which requires enterprises to rationally design their buffer packaging. In this paper, the author takes a brand of pure water machine as an example to introduce the design process of its corrugated board e-commerce buffer packaging for your reference.
Corrugated board e-commerce buffer Packaging design steps
Corrugated board e-commerce buffer packaging development is relatively late, its design is not as theoretical as the foam e-commerce buffer packaging design, can only rely on the designer's experience, the specific design steps are as follows.
(1) Understand the product circulation environment and give relevant parameters.
(2) Analyze the structural characteristics of the product itself, determine the brittleness value of the product, and design a buffer structure according to its structure, shape, performance and buffering requirements, combined with the design software such as ACTO CAD.
(3) Selection of ingredients. According to the value of the product, performance indicators and buffer requirements, choose the type of corrugated cardboard, paper, paper and core paper.
(4) Design the e-commerce transport package.
(5) Safety test. Proofing in accordance with the design drawings and conducting safety tests in the laboratory. If the test fails, adjust the design and retest; if the test passes, you can finalize the case. This step is generally based on test results or empirical judgment.
Product Features
The packaging design object of this paper is RO-185F kitchen pure water machine, the total weight is 10kg, and the maximum outer dimensions of the product is 385mm×185mm×480mm. The contents are pure water machine main body, pressure storage bucket, manual, warranty card, power supply, goose faucet, accessory bag, etc., as shown in Figure 1. Among them, the pure water machine main body is the main body of the buffer structure design, which is mainly composed of the main board and the filter tube. The wall of the main board is thin and the area of the force is large; the filter tube is made of polypropylene material, the wall thickness is about 7~10mm, the wall thickness is thick, and the strength is large. Compared with the main board, it can withstand large impact force. The pressure storage bucket is made of plastic and does not require cushioning. It can be fixed in the box. There are many types of accessories, but the quality is not big. It is planned to design a box to put it in the box and not in contact with the main body of the product.
This design uses an analogy method to determine the brittleness of the product is 60G. The transportation mode is the pure water machine main machine, the pressure storage bucket and the accessories are Corrugated Machine operator jointly packed and transported in a single unit. The gross weight is about 10kg, which is mainly carried out by manual loading and unloading, truck transportation, and sent to all parts of the country. It is worth noting that the pure water machine needs to meet the drop height of 91cm during the loading and unloading process.
Buffer structure design
1. Design ideas
Considering the relationship between the pressure storage bucket and the size of the pure water machine mainframe, the mainframe is corrugated box printing process placed on the main unit, the pressure storage bucket and the accessories are placed on the mainframe. The main panel is flat due to the back surface, and the force is large, and the fuselage is prominent. Partly, it should be focused on protection, so the buffer structure protection is designed around the motherboard, and the bottom design base is used for buffering and fixing. A carton is formed in the gap between the pressure storage tank and the inner wall of the corrugated cardboard box for placing the fitting. In addition, corrugated equipment during the design process, about 3 cm of buffer space is left in the product in terms of length, width and height. Based on the above analysis, the rendering effect of the pure water machine buffer structure is designed by using the ACTO CAD software, as shown in Figure 2.
