Study Notes
Packaging Levels
- Primary packaging is the layer that directly contains the product. It's often the first packaging the consumer sees and includes essential product and brand information.
- Secondary packaging is the layer that groups several primary packaging units. It's the packaging typically displayed on store shelves.
- Tertiary packaging is used to transport large quantities of products. It protects the product during transit and storage.
Paperboard Grades
- CCNB (Coated Clay Coated News Back) is a low-cost paperboard for folding cartons, commonly used for products like laundry detergent. It's often not suitable for food items due to its low moisture resistance.
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) is a high-quality paperboard with superior strength and durability thanks to its bleached white surfaces. It's a popular choice for product packaging but has poor water resistance.
- FBB (Folding Box Board) is a high-quality paperboard manufactured with multi-ply paper pulp. It's used for non-food folding cartons, offering both strength and flexibility.
- SUS (Solid Unbleached Sulfate) is an eco-friendly choice made from recyclable materials, such as unbleached wood pulp.
Corrugated Board
- Corrugated board provides excellent protection, durability, and customization options. It’s made of liner boards with fluted fiberboard glued in between.
- Liner boards are the ‘face’ of the corrugated sheet.
- Flute refers to the rippled, wavy middle part, offering strength and cushioning.
- Single face consists of one liner board with glued flute visible on one side.
- Single wall has two liner boards with a fluted fiberboard in between.
- Double wall has two sets of liner boards with fluted fiberboard glued together.
- Flute grades come in different thicknesses (A-Flute, B-Flute, C-Flute, E-Flute, F-Flute).
- A-Flute has the highest protection and cushion qualities.
- B-Flute, C-Flute, and E-Flute offer varying levels of protection and printing qualities.
- F-Flute is the thinnest and often used for folding cartons.
- Combined flute grades like AC Flute, BC Flute, and EB Flute offer different combinations of strength and printing properties.
Dieline Design
- Cut lines on a dieline communicate where to cut your packaging design.
- Crease lines indicate where the packaging will be folded.
- Bleed lines separate excess space from the printable area.
- Safety lines help align printed artwork correctly on the finished project.
- Glue tabs indicate where glue needs to be placed.
Color Management
- RGB is an additive color model mainly used for digital screens.
- CMYK is a subtractive color model used for printing.
Halftone Screens
- Halftone screens convert continuous-tone images into dots for printing.
- Line per inch (lpi) measures the resolution of halftone screens, influencing the smoothness of the printed image.
- FM Screening (Frequency Modulation Screening) uses randomly placed dots for a smoother, more consistent look than traditional screens.
Offset Lithography
- Offset Lithography is a printing process using plates to transfer ink to a rubber blanket and then onto the printing surface.
- Thermal plates are used in offset lithography and can run up to 500,000 impressions.
- CTF (Computer-to-Film) reduces production time and improves consistency by using dedicated films for each color.
Important Considerations in Printing Layout
- Printing stock and printing process influence print layout decisions.
- Trapping involves overlapping colors to prevent colorless gaps between them.
