In the packaging of goods, the use of cartons is a delicate art. The right packaging method can not only protect the product, but also enhance the value of the product and bring a pleasant experience to the consumer.

Choosing the right carton is the first step in packing. Choose the carton type according to the size, weight and characteristics of the product. Fragile products need to choose a thick corrugated box, and add cushioning materials in the box. Food packaging should choose food grade cardboard to ensure safety and hygiene. Research by the Japan Packaging Association shows that the right carton selection can reduce shipping losses by 80%.

The folding technique of packaging directly affects the beauty of the carton. Make sure the creases are straight and the corners are aligned. For high-grade gift packaging, the double-layer folding method can be used to make the box more crisp. French packaging designer Jean-Paul Gaultier emphasized that perfect folding is the essence of packaging art.

The use of filler is also a science. Choose the appropriate filling material according to the shape of the product, such as bubble film, pearl wool or shredded paper strips. When filling, it is necessary to ensure that the goods will not move in the box, and at the same time to avoid over-filling resulting in deformation of the carton. German packaging engineer Hans Schmidt has developed a "golden filling ratio" that maximizes protection and saves material.

The sealing method directly affects the firmness of the package. The commonly used sealing methods are H-shaped sealing and H-shaped sealing. For heavy packaging, it is recommended to make the shape of the seal, and attach strengthening tape at the joint. Research by the American Packaging Association shows that the correct sealing method can increase the strength of packaging by more than 30%.

The location and method of attaching labels also need attention. Choose a flat surface to attach the label to, and make sure the information is clearly visible. For packages that need to be opened multiple times, easy-to-tear labels can be designed. British packaging designer Sarah Parker designed the "Smile label" series, through a special tear design, to make the opening of packaging becomes a pleasant experience.

Carton packaging seems simple, but it contains a wealth of skills and wisdom. Mastering these methods can not only improve the quality of packaging, but also convey the professional image of the brand. In this era of emphasis on experience, every packaging detail can affect consumer choice.
