There are two decisions that must be made when making carton[carton?:carton box sample cutting machine] design, ship and protect the product inside: what shape will the box take, and what graphics[graphics?:graphics pattern] (images other than type) will be added to identify and sell the product? With advances in computer technology and CAD (Computer Aided Design), a client may see a full-color, three-dimensional mock-up of the finished product before any production costs are incurred.
The basic folding carton begins as a simple, two-dimensional, four-sided tube with an extension at one end, the glue flap, which allows the tube to be folded into its three-dimensional shape. Various types of closures, such as tuck tops and dust flaps may be added on the top and bottom of the tube to create the final design.
Once the shape of the carton has been determined, the graphics and type which will identify and market the product are registered (aligned) to each panel. After the printed sample is approved by the customer, the design moves on to Layout.
