Present analysis of the development of gift candy packaging boxes
Candy and chocolate packaging boxes have three main functions: ①protect the product's due luster, fragrance, shape and extend shelf life; ②prevent microbial and dust pollution, and improve product hygiene and safety; ③exquisite product packaging can improve consumers’ Purchasing desire and commodity value.
At present, the packaging boxes for candy and chocolate produced in the United States mainly include hinged lid packaging boxes, push-pull packaging boxes, and folding packaging boxes. Hinged lid packaging is the oldest packaging form. This packaging form is mostly used for candy. It can be completed not only by high-speed, automated packaging machines, but also by manual operations; push-pull packaging is popular internationally in the 70s and 80s of the last century. It became popular in the 1980s. Due to the popularity of folding packaging machines, most candy and chocolate manufacturers currently use push-pull packaging. The foldable packaging box is mostly used for chocolate products, and the candies are suitable for making rolls, strips, and multipacks. This type of packaging has higher requirements for packaging equipment and packaging materials.
The production level of packaging boxes for candy and chocolate in the United States is developed, mainly due to the high level of packaging equipment, the variety of packaging materials, and the high quality of packaging. Technological innovation is fast, so domestic American candy and chocolate packaging boxes are produced in the direction of high-speed automation, multi-functionality and packaging design characteristics.
In recent years, China's candy packaging box manufacturing has made certain achievements in technology introduction, cooperation, and independent originality. In terms of candy equipment, it has successively launched aerated toffee production line, colloidal soft candy automatic line, ultra-thin film vacuum instant cooking unit, cotton candy production line, etc.; Packaging machinery includes single-twist packaging machine, folding packaging machine, high-speed machine and so on. In terms of chocolate equipment, there are multi-functional color chocolate pouring lines, automatic chocolate composite products, chocolate extrusion molding lines, and chocolate rapid refiners.
Multi-function is an important trend in the development of new equipment. Because of the variety of candy varieties and fast update, the manufacturers' requirements for equipment are multi-function and strong adaptability. For example, the newly developed automatic line for chocolate compound products has the multi-functions of producing candy, compound chocolate and coating products. In the production of the whole line, it can produce high-quality composite chocolates with various sugar cores and different layers. For example, only the front-end forming part can be used to produce rectangular varieties such as nougat, toffee, Swiss candy, toffee, etc. The coating part at the back end can be adapted to the surface coating requirements of various products.
In addition, most of the newly launched candy packaging box manufacturing equipment adopts new technologies such as servo motors and photoelectric tracking, which greatly improve its automatic control capabilities. For example, the automatic chocolate compound product line consists of nearly 20 units. Due to the difference in process requirements of different varieties, not only the adjustment of each unit itself, but also the speed coordination problem between the units during operation, the unit adopts one unit. The total frequency converter controls the speed-regulating frequency converters of each unit.
When confectionery and chocolate manufacturers package standardized products, they generally need high-speed, automated packaging machines in order to optimize packaging costs with economies of scale. Therefore, in recent years, packaging machine manufacturers have developed high-speed, automated candy and chocolate packaging machines suitable for different types of products, such as traditional pillow packaging and twist packaging machines suitable for double-twisted products. In this type of packaging machine, manufacturers have adopted the latest technologies, such as servo motors, photoelectric tracking, high-speed cameras, etc., to achieve the efficiency of the packaging machine. At present, there are high-speed pillow-type hard candy packaging machines that pack 1500 to 2000 tablets per minute. The high-speed chocolate pillow packaging machine should be more developed from the aspects of equipment and cold-air packaging film to achieve high speed without affecting the quality of the inner chocolate products. In addition, the automatic steering, sorting, emergency stop, and acceleration of the conveyor belt connected to the chocolate packaging machine are also widely used.
Secondly, for non-standardized or seasonal products, the packaging machine should be designed to be flexible, lightweight and compact. This type of equipment does not pursue speed, but seeks personalized packaging and flexibility. In addition, the original packaging box design can also cater to the competition of goods, continuous innovation, and give people a visual impact. For example, tin boxed xylitol chewing gum on the market is more suitable for the consumer psychology of young people after the improvement of the packaging box. Very popular.
In short, the packaging box form of candy and chocolate should be determined by the market, and the packaging box manufacturing technology should be determined by the characteristics of the product. If candy and chocolate are positioned as high-end gifts, then the packaging must be attractive, and high-end designs such as metal packaging boxes are the first choice. For mass consumer products, the packaging box form should be relatively simple. For example, the push-pull packaging box is quite popular among merchants. Its form is simple, the technology is mature, and the packaging
The installation efficiency is high and the price is cheap. In addition, the packaging technology used by some products should also depend on the characteristics of the product itself. For example, chocolate products will produce fat precipitation at higher temperatures, which affects the quality and appearance. Therefore, the push-pull boxes for packaging chocolate generally use cold-sealing technology. At present, there are two main types of outer packaging boxes for candies: push-pull boxes and vertical bags (more chocolate). Among them, the vertical bags, except for Cadbury's automatic packaging equipment used by Bosa in Spain, other candy companies, such as Nestle and Hershey , Jindi, etc. all use prefabricated bags and then manual packaging boxes.
The design and anti-counterfeiting of candy packaging box
Exquisite packaging boxes can not only enhance the taste of products, but also have an important function of promoting product promotion and increase consumers' desire to buy. Therefore, packaging box design is highly valued. Let's talk about the design of candy packaging box and the application of anti-counterfeiting in packaging.
1. The choice of box design software
It is the goal of every designer to design a packaging box that is both practical and beautiful. For this reason, the choice of box design software is very important. Nowadays, Artios CAD software from Barco, a professional box design software supplier, is often available. The box design software has a powerful drawing function, a box library that can be deployed at any time, and a powerful information feedback function. At the same time, it can directly display 3D images of design samples to customers.
2. Anti-counterfeiting design of candy packaging box
With the development of anti-counterfeiting technology and the increase of users' requirements for anti-counterfeiting of candy boxes, anti-counterfeiting packaging has become a topic of increasing discussion among packaging printing companies and packaging users. The anti-counterfeiting packaging is changing from the initial anti-counterfeiting mark to the anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting printing of the packaging material itself and packaging design. At present, there are mainly the following types of packaging anti-counterfeiting methods: anti-counterfeiting labels are affixed to the packaging boxes. Such as laser holographic anti-counterfeiting marks, fluorescent anti-counterfeiting marks, heat-sensitive counterfeit marks, telephone anti-counterfeiting code marks, etc. Almost all identification labels with anti-counterfeiting function are applied on the packaging box. Prevent opening the box. Anti-counterfeiting is achieved by attaching anti-counterfeiting and anti-tipping seals/sealing labels. The packaging box is packaged with laser holographic film. The film materials used are mainly PVC, PET, BOPP and other laser holographic aluminized films, laser holographic transparent glazing films, laser holographic hot stamping films, etc. The colors are gold, silver, red, and blue. , Green and black, etc., are widely used in the packaging and printing industry.
