Plastic folding carton, it is a very extensive application of green packaging containers, not only widely used in medicine, food, cigarettes and packaging products, but also for soft drinks, cleaning supplies, stationery, hardware products. Folding carton packaging having low cost, easy storage and transportation, for a variety of printing and folding carton packaging for automatic, easy to sell and display, with a good recovery, is conducive to environmental protection and other features. With further enhance the awareness of environmental protection. Folding cartons are widely used in juice, milk, cooked food, snacks, pharmaceutical and cosmetics packaging products. Coupled with its flat shape can be stacking transport and storage before folding characteristics greatly reduces storage and transportation costs. We made rapid progress in recent years. Because of the folding carton having low cost, easy storage and transportation, for a variety of printing methods, easy to sell and display for automated packaging, recycling is good, there is conducive to environmental protection and other features, as people's living standards continue to improve, to demand for folding cartons will continue to increase, but also for the production of quality carton also put forward higher requirements.
Currently, the new folding carton printing technology, new equipment, new technology emerging, technological innovation continues to color printing presses, is to high-quality, multi-color-oriented development, from analog to digital automation machinery work job development, from processing to independent wire processing development. Its technical features are product-oriented application of digital simulation design, digital color management and printing process platform applications, integrated production and production management ERP and DAM. The main technical and development are summarized as follows:
1. The box design and three-dimensional digital simulation
Folding carton printing production in the CIP3 / CIP4 digital print technology framework, we have box design and three-dimensional digital simulation into their production system. In the box design and three-dimensional digital simulation, designers use specialized software, according to user needs and the final folding carton printing production process will be broken down into a functional structure of production and molding design and surface finishing designed two aspects. Wherein the screen printing network, and forming a functional structure is designed to achieve the needed protection folding carton packaging products, and (given after various processes to meet the required number to determine the method of die-cutting and gluing carried out control lines, such as die-cutting lines, tear lines, polylines, etc.). The design surface finishing methods they should according to box-type digital control lines to design landscaping and design showcase products and a variety of finishing processes lithography, so graphic and molding match. When the two links is complete, according to two types of data obtained using three-dimensional digital simulation technology to simulate the actual effect of folding cartons and folding method Shanghai printing quotes, digital proofing technology can also be applied in the actual production of samples using the material.

2. Integration of digital prepress technology
Folding cartons prepress production technology can be summarized as follows: the expression digitized color expressions, functional structure personalization. Thereby requiring the use of digital integrated folding carton prepress production technology, on the basis of folding carton product text data, forming the control data and analysis equipment to work on benchmarks, optimized graphics processing and typesetting printing method every day, so that the description of the page content data, various control processes and data management, and forming data can pass unimpeded and transformation, achieve integration of content description data, control data and forming printing data.
Folding Carton digital prepress technology integration mainly in the following two aspects.
(1) The reference integrated box design and prepress data processing data, namely printed folding carton Hangzhou in design, functional structure and forming data and surface finishing machining data must be inverted according to the printing conditions prepress control reference to carry out, in order to ensure consistent product design effects and print results.
(2)pre-press and printing data, and integrate postpress surface finishing process the data, namely the cartridge type design data processing color printing, after special processing steps must be processed, such as pre-stamping parts . Also possible use CIP3 / CIP4 printing ink amount directly generate control data, cutting data and line quality control data from prepress data. In order to establish control parameters for each element of the quality control and process control points to achieve a stable baseline equipment, data transfer is correct, control is simple.
