Computerized Information Technology and Packaging Design

With the advent of computer application software, especially specialized design languages, graphic languages, and graphics software, and the advent of special external devices such as graphic display devices, digital instrumentation, light pens, and plotters, computers have been fully capable of producing products. And the project design work, to achieve two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, faster and more accurate product modeling. The fifth-generation CAD systems that have emerged today are integrated surface and solid modeling systems.
In the aspect of packaging design, plane visual design, and packaging and color matching, computers can be used to design, shorten the design cycle, improve design efficiency and design accuracy, and save manpower and material resources.
The characteristics of the product design used for packaging must be differentiated, miniaturized, diversified, and constantly changing. So using CAD system design has considerable advantages.
With the support of CAD system database and drawing software, the designer can use the light pen or keyboard to draw sketches directly on the screen of the image terminal. The computer will display the required three-dimensional graphics, and can be stored and recalled at any time to save a lot of drawing time. (Some designs can save up to 90% of the time) can also prevent and quickly correct errors and improve the quality of the design. More importantly, the CAD system encourages designers to graffiti freely, fully mobilizes design inspiration, completes product ideas, and immediately visualizes three-dimensional effects. This has considerable benefits for packaging design.
Computer-aided manufacturing that occurs almost at the same time as computer-aided design can also be introduced into the process of manufacturing, manufacturing, and managing packaging products. It translates the design results output from the CAD system into control commands and data that can be accepted by the processing machinery, and then under the control of the computer. Complete the product manufacturing process, so that in the production and management process can improve and ensure product quality, reduce production costs, shorten the production cycle, reduce strength, save manpower and material resources.
Many packaging and printing factories in Hong Kong have used modern machinery and equipment, including electronic color separation scanners, multi-color movable printing machines and computerized printing production management systems. The electronic pre-press system can be used for planting, color separation, imposition, and other processes. Link together.
The various packaging boxes used in packaging and printing design have been able to perform rapid and high-quality processing through computer-aided design systems, so that the printing quality is very accurate and stable. The use of computer equipment enables the printing industry to continue to maintain its competitiveness.
