Tinplate Packaging Design and Development

With the continuous enrichment of various CC materials, DR materials, and chrome plating of tinplate, the development of packaging products and technology has been promoted, and metal packaging is full of innovation everywhere.

From the specific product and technical information exhibited by the World Metal Packaging Conference and the metalpack and Interpack trade show, metal packaging is facing an unprecedented wave of technological revolution and innovation. Its focus and development focus on the following three points.

1. All-round application of computer digital technology in the detection and control of printed metal cans has increased production efficiency unprecedentedly.

2. Focusing on enhancing the visual impact and convenience functions of packaging shelves, and comprehensively improving the product's quality to withstand the challenges of paper-plastic packaging.

3. Focus on reducing resource consumption and product recycling. Derived a series of innovations and developments in materials technology, printing technology, welding canning technology, open caps and technology. Specific performance and trends are as follows.

(1) Strengthen the sales promotion function Expected sales packaging is the mainstream of the future

The goal of brand-oriented customers is to promote sales as a goal to make packaging more protective, functional, and decorative. If we focus on improving the impact of shelf vision, we can move from the production of standard single cans to a more diverse type of can-shaped cans at the same time; we can shift from the original common manufacturing to sophisticated lean and fashionable manufacturing. More adapted to the rapid changes in the packaging market. Urbanization development, packaging promotion requirements.

(2) Development of functional packaging and convenience packaging

To further excavate the unique material and versatility characteristics of tinplate to promote reduced design, cost-saving design and portable, convenient ergonomic design, to fully expand the application of metal packaging in various fields. Product categories and packaging camps are even richer, and new applications are being developed.
If people feel more comfortable and humanized, they are more suitable for women's packaging structure design. The Bosch tank won the first prize of the World Metal Packaging Prize in 2005, and its curved streamline design is a model of metal packaging that is completely compatible with high-end tools.

(3) Green

Packaging manufacturing has always faced great resource pressures and environmental pressure. Packaging materials are being developed toward lightweight, material-saving, and reduced resource consumption.
Following the packaging development approach of combining recycling system construction, recycling and recycling, and reducing resource consumption, tinplate packaging will continue to be coordinated with the use of environmental resources and reduce resource consumption (4R to 1D reduction of Reduced packaging) while satisfying promotional needs. Reuse packaging reuse, Recycle packaging recycling Recover gains new value, Degradable packaging material degradation and packaging life cycle assessment method LCA one by one to reduce environmental pollution and save natural resources requirements) Actively develop new design concept of green packaging, make tinplate packaging Visual resources are more prominent, more stylish, and more personalized while minimizing resource consumption.

For example, the new type of aerosol cans with coated iron laser welding has a thickness of only 0.14mm, which is lighter, and the pressure resistance of provincial materials is increased from the original 12 to 18 bar to 34 bar. The development prospect is promising.

The canopy opening of tin cans has also evolved from the original need to open lids with tools to cans and to today's easy-to-remove lids for easy lightweight packaging.

(4) Pay more attention to regional market differences and cater to local consumer groups

In the field of beverage packaging, Japanese people prefer re-opening coffee bottles. People in Europe and North America prefer cylindrical cans; in some coastal cities, wavy shaped drink cans are more popular.

(5) Update packaging design concept Build two different dimensions of design evaluation framework for shelf effect and convenience

From the 4th World Metal Packaging Conference, the winners of the top four categories of metal packaging (ie, beverages, food, gift boxes, and general standards) were awarded. It also further validates the above-mentioned development trend.

The World Metal Packaging Awards sponsored by four organizations including the International Steel Association, the International Packaging and Printing Organization, the Pan-European Brand Design Association, and the European Cans Association. The 2005 winning entries are as follows.

Beverages

The first prize is a reopenable coffee bottle. The second prize is Nestle 200ml cylindrical tank with vertical stripes. The third prize is the UCC black coffee pot with embossed.

foodstuffs

The first prize is a modular tea set gift box, and the second prize is a paste-type easy-to-open lid pet canister. The third prize is a fresh-keeping can with a top dot safety buckle.

Gift box

The first prize for the streamlined Bosch tool gift second prize is a rectangular CD box with iron-plastic composite. The third prize is a chocolate candy gift box with a prominent embossed relief and combined with decorative colors.

General Purpose

The first prize for the washing powder packaging cans with windows that can be easily opened and reopened is the second prize for window-opening paint cans: the third prize is for chemical product packaging cans with a flared design to prevent casting.

With the variety of CC material of tinplate, DR materials and chrome iron are continuously enriched. Promote the development of packaging products and technology, metal packaging full of innovation everywhere. Identify problems and begin to improve design; meet market brand recognition requirements. Innovation and development of personalized packaging; from the concept of green product packaging, the value of the deep pursuit of the true meaning of packaging; from the perspective of packaging needs, triggering the limited space of packaging to unlimited artistic taste and charm sublimation each of us have brought surprises, with React, bring enlightenment, bring a good market effect. The life of packaging is innovation. Only by continuously developing "innovation, innovation, creativity, and creativity" can the innovative forces be able to lead to structural innovation, innovation in content, innovation in craftsmanship and performance. Packaging equipment and materials and means of realization have been innovated and have made metal packaging a progressive and prosperous trend.
